     acquire the property, shall, as consideration for the 
     conveyance, pay to the United States an amount equal to fair 
     market value of the property to be conveyed, as determined by

                SIMON (AND JEFFORDS) AMENDMENT NO. 2178

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. SIMON (for himself and Mr. Jeffords) submitted an amendment 
intended to be proposed by them to the bill, S. 1026, supra; as 
follows:

       On page 371, after line 21, insert the following:

     SEC. 1062. VOLUNTEER FORCE FOR PEACE OPERATIONS.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) With the end of the Cold War, the United States is 
     clearly the undisputed world economic and military leader and 
     as such bears major international responsibilities.

[[Page S11619]]

       (2) Threats to the long-term security and well-being of the 
     United States no longer derive primarily from the risk of 
     external military aggression against the United States or its 
     closest treaty allies but in large measure derive from 
     instability from a variety of causes: population movements, 
     ehtnic and regional conflicts including genocide against 
     ethnic and religious groups, famine, terrorism, narcotics 
     trafficking, and proliferation of weapons of mass 
     destruction.
       (3) To address such threats, the United States has 
     increasingly turned to the United Nations and other 
     international peace operations, which at times offer the best 
     and most cost-effective way to prevent, contain, and resolve 
     such problems.
       (4) In numerous crisis situations, such as the massacres in 
     Rwanda, the United Nations has been unable to respond with 
     peace operations in a swift manner.
       (5) The Secreatry-General of the United Nations has asked 
     member states to identify in advance units which are 
     available for contribution to international peace operations 
     under the auspices of the United Nations in order to create a 
     rapid response capability.
       (6) United States participation and leadership in the 
     initiative of the Secretary-General is critical to leveraging 
     contributions from other nations and, in that way, limiting 
     the United States share of the burden and helping the United 
     Nations to achieve success.
       (b) Report on Plan To Organize Volunteer Units.--Not later 
     than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
     the President shall submit a report to Congress setting 
     forth--
       (1) a plan for--
       (A) organizing into units of the Armed Forces a contingency 
     force of up to 3,000 personnel, comprised of active-duty 
     military personnel, who volunteer additionally and 
     specifically to serve in international peace operations and 
     who receive added compensation for such service;
       (B) recruiting personnel to serve in such units; and
       (C) providing training to such personnel which is 
     appropriate to such operations; and
       (2) proposed procedures to implement such plan.
       (c) Authorization.--(1) Upon approval by the United Nations 
     Security Council of an international peace operation, the 
     President, after appropriate congressional consultation, is 
     authorized to make immediately available for such operations 
     those units of the Armed Forces of the United States which 
     are organized under subsection (b)(1)(A).
       (2)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B), the President may 
     terminate United States participation in international peace 
     operations at any time and take whatever actions he deems 
     necessary to protect United States forces.
       (B) Notwithstanding section 5(b) of the War Powers 
     Resolution, not later than 180 days after a Presidential 
     report is submitted or required to be submitted under section 
     4(a) of the War Powers Resolution in connection with the 
     participation of the Armed Forces of the United States in an 
     international peace operation, the President shall terminate 
     any use of the Armed Forces with respect to which such report 
     was submitted or required to be submitted, unless the 
     Congress has extended by law such 180-day period.
       (d) Availability of Funds.--Funds available to the 
     Department of Defense are authorized to be available to carry 
     out subsection (c)(1).
       (e) War Powers Resolution Requirements.--Except as 
     otherwise provided, this section does not supersede the 
     requirements of the War Powers Resolution.

     activities, humanitarian activities, and refugee assistance 
     activities when determined by the President to be in the 
     national interests of the United States.''.
       (g) Definitions.--In this section:

     means consultation as described in section 3 of the War 
     Powers Resolution.

     SEC. 1095. SENSE OF SENATE ON MIDWAY ISLANDS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) September 2, 1995, marks the 50th anniversary of the 
     United States victory over Japan in World War II.
       (2) The Battle of Midway proved to be the turning point in 
     the war in the Pacific, as United States Navy forces 
     inflicted such severe losses on the Imperial Japanese Navy 
     during the battle that the Imperial Japanese Navy never again 
     took the offensive against United States or allied forces.
       (3) During the Battle of Midway, an out-numbered force of 
     the United States Navy, consisting of 29 ships and other 
     units of the Armed Forces under the command of Admiral Nimitz 
     and Admiral Spruance, out-maneuvered and out-fought 350 ships 
     of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
       (4) It is in the public interest to erect a memorial to the 
     Battle of Midway that is suitable to express the enduring 
     gratitude of the American people for victory in the battle 
     and to inspire future generations of Americans with the 
     heroism and sacrifice of the members of the Armed Forces who 
     achieved that victory.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the Midway Islands and the surrounding seas deserve to 
     be memorialized;
       (2) the historical structures related to the Battle of 
     Midway should be maintained, in accordance with the National 
     Historic Preservation Act, and subject to the availability of 
     appropriations for that purpose.
       (3) appropriate access to the Midway Islands by survivors 
     of the Battle of Midway, their families, and other visitors 
     should be provided in a manner that ensures the public health 
     and safety on the Midway Islands and the conservation and 
     natural resources of those islands in accordance with 
     existing Federal law.

                    LEVIN AMENDMENTS NOS. 2215-2217

  (Ordered to lie on the table.)
  Mr. LEVIN submitted three amendments intended to be proposed by him 
to the bill, S. 1026, supra, as follows:

                           Amendment No. 2215

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:
       Sec.   . The Senate finds that the Second Strategic Arms 
     Reduction Treaty (START II agreement) was signed by President 
     George Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin on January 3, 
     1993, and
       a. Findings.--
       (1) the ratified START I agreement has already led to 
     significant reductions in the number of nuclear warheads 
     targeted on the United States; and
       (2) the START II agreement, once ratified, will lead to 
     further reductions of thousands of Russian nuclear warheads; 
     and
       (3) it is in the national security interest of the United 
     States to have thousands of Russian missiles and warheads 
     retired and dismantled; and
       (4) the Joint Chiefs of Staff have given enthusiastic 
     support for the START II agreement in testimony before the 
     Congress, certifying that it will add to the safety and 
     security of the United States; and
       (5) the START II agreement helps to reduce the threat of 
     nuclear war and advances the non-proliferation interests of 
     the United States; and
       (6) the full implementation of the START II agreement by 
     the Russian Federation will greatly consolidate control and 
     improve the security of the remaining warheads, reducing 
     opportunities for unauthorized access or theft of these 
     warheads; and
       (7) the reduced nuclear forces for both countries will lead 
     to major cost savings for the United States military; and
       (8) by the year 2003, the United States will still maintain 
     a robust deterrent force of 3,500 nuclear warheads; and
       (9) the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, 
     Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on 
     Their 

[[Page S11625]]
     Destruction (hereafter referred to as the ``Convention'') would 
     establish a comprehensive ban on chemical weapons, and its 
     negotiation has enjoyed strong, bipartisan Congressional 
     support and the support of the last six administrations; and
       (10) the Convention requires participating states to 
     destroy their chemical arsenals and production facilities 
     under international supervision, which would accelerate 
     progress toward the disarmament of chemical weapons in a 
     majority of the states believed to harbor them; and
       (11) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General 
     John Shalikashvili, has testified in support of the 
     ratification of the Convention and stated that United States 
     military forces would deter and respond to chemical weapons 
     threats with robust chemical defenses and overwhelming 
     conventional forces; and
       (12) the United States chemical industry assisted in 
     crafting an effective verification protocol and testified in 
     support of the Convention's ratification; and
       (13) the United States intelligence agencies have testified 
     that the Convention will provide new and important sources of 
     information, through regular data exchanges and routine and 
     challenge inspections, to improve the ability of the United 
     States to assess the chemical weapons status in countries of 
     concern; and
       (14) the Convention will gradually isolate and 
     automatically penalize states which refuse to join by 
     preventing them from gaining access to dual-use chemicals and 
     creating a basis for monitoring illegal diversions of those 
     materials; and
       (15) Russia has signed the Convention but has not yet 
     ratified it, and there have been reports of continued Russian 
     testing and production of chemical weapons; and
       (16) the Convention will impose a legally binding 
     obligation on Russia and other nations that process chemical 
     weapons to cease offensive chemical weapons activities and to 
     destroy their chemical weapons stockpiles and production 
     facilities: Now, therefore, be it
       (b) It is the sense of the Senate that the United States 
     Senate--
       (1) declares that it is in the national security interest 
     of the United States to duly ratify and fully implement the 
     deep cuts in strategic forces required by the START II arms 
     reduction treaty negotiated by Presidents Ronald Reagan and 
     George Bush, and Russian leaders Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris 
     Yeltsin; and
       (2) declares that the Senate should take up consideration 
     of the START II Treaty and the Chemical Weapons Convention 
     for advice and consent to ratification on a priority basis 
     during the first session of the 104th Congress.
                                                                    ____
