                           amendment no. 2391

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following 
     new title:
         TITLE ____--NATO PARTICIPATION ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1995

     SEC. ____01. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``NATO Participation Act 
     Amendments of 1995''.

     SEC. ____02. FINDINGS.

       The Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Since 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) has played an essential role in guaranteeing the 
     security, freedom, and prosperity of the United States and 
     its partners in the Alliance.
       (2) NATO has expanded its membership on three different 
     occasions since 1949.
       (3) The sustained commitment of the member countries of 
     NATO to mutual defense of their security ultimately made 
     possible the democratic transformation in Central and Eastern 
     Europe and the demise of the Soviet Union.
       (4) NATO was designed to be and remains a defensive 
     military organization whose members have never contemplated 
     the use of, or used, military force to expand the borders of 
     its member states.
       (5) While the immediate threat to the security of the 
     United States and its allies has been reduced with the 
     collapse of the Iron Curtain, new security threats, such as 
     the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, are emerging to the 
     shared interests of the member countries of NATO.
       (6) NATO remains the only multilateral security 
     organization capable of conducting effective military 
     operations to protect Western security interests.
       (7) NATO has played a positive role in defusing tensions 
     between NATO members and, as a result, no military action has 
     occurred between two NATO member states since the inception 
     of NATO in 1949.
       (8) NATO is also an important diplomatic forum for the 
     discussion of issues of concern to its member states and for 
     the peaceful resolution of disputes.
       (9) America's security, freedom, and prosperity remain 
     linked to the security of the countries of Europe.
       (10) Any threat to the security of the newly emerging 
     democracies in Central Europe would pose a security threat to 
     the United States and its European allies.
       (11) The admission to NATO of Central and East European 
     countries that have been freed from Communist domination and 
     that meet specific criteria for NATO membership would 
     contribute to international peace and enhance the security of 
     the region.
       (12) A number of countries have expressed varying degrees 
     of interest in NATO membership, and have taken concrete steps 
     to demonstrate this commitment.
       (13) Full integration of Central and East European 
     countries into the North Atlantic Alliance after such 
     countries meet essential criteria for admission would enhance 
     the security of the Alliance and, thereby, contribute to the 
     security of the United States.
       (14) The expansion of NATO can create the stable 
     environment needed to successfully complete the political and 
     economic transformation envisioned by Eastern and Central 
     European countries.
       (15) In recognition that not all countries which have 
     requested membership in NATO will necessarily qualify at the 
     same pace, the date for membership of each country will vary.
       (16) The provision of NATO transition assistance should 
     include those countries most ready for closer ties with NATO, 
     such as Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia and 
     should be designed to assist other countries meeting 
     specified criteria of eligibility to move toward eventual 
     NATO membership, including Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, 
     Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Slovenia.
       (17) Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have made significant 
     progress in preparing for NATO membership and should be given 
     every consideration for inclusion in programs for NATO 
     transition assistance.

     SEC. ____03. UNITED STATES POLICY.

       It should be the policy of the United States--
       (1) to join with the NATO allies of the United States to 
     redefine the role of the NATO Alliance in the post-Cold War 
     world;
       (2) to actively assist European countries emerging from 
     communist domination in their transition so that such 
     countries may eventually qualify for NATO membership;
       (3) to use the voice and vote of the United States to urge 
     observer status in the North Atlantic Council for countries 
     designated under section 203(d) of the NATO Participation Act 
     of 1994 (as amended by this title) as eligible for NATO 
     transition assistance; and
       (4) to work to define the political and security 
     relationship between an enlarged NATO and the Russian 
     Federation.

                   NATO MEMBERSHIP.

     SEC. 1062. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR 
                   TESTING.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The President of France stated on June 13, 1995, that 
     the Republic of France plans to conduct eight nuclear test 
     explosions over the next several months.
       (2) The People's Republic of China continues to conduct 
     underground nuclear weapons tests.
       (3) The United States, France, Russia, and Great Britain 
     have observed a moratorium on nuclear testing since 1992.
       (4) A resumption of testing by the Republic of France could 
     result in the disintegration of the current testing 
     moratorium and a renewal of underground testing by other 
     nuclear weapons states.
       (5) A resumption of nuclear testing by the Republic of 
     France raises serious environmental and health concerns.
       (6) The United Nations Conference on Disarmament presently 
     is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, for the purpose of 
     negotiating a Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), 
     which would halt permanently the practice of conducting 
     nuclear test explosions.
       (7) Continued underground weapons testing by the Republic 
     of France and the People's Republic of China undermines the 
     efforts of the international community to conclude a CTBT by 
     1996, a goal endorsed by 175 nations at the recently 
     completed NPT Extension and Review Conference (the conference 
     for the extension and review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty).
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Republic of France and the People's Republic of 
     China should abide by the current international moratorium on 
     nuclear test explosions and refrain from conducting 
     underground nuclear tests in advance of a Comprehensive Test 
     Ban Treaty.
