       Sec. 572. It is the sense of the Congress that the 
     President and the Secretary of State should use all 
     opportunities and means to express directly to all 
     appropriate officials of the Government of Paraguay that--
       (1) the United States respects and supports the commitment 
     of the Government of Paraguay to reform its laws and 
     practices regarding international adoptions;
       (2) the pending international adoption cases filed by 
     United States families at or prior to the establishment by 
     the Government of Paraguay of a moratorium on international 
     adoptions, including the 11 adoption cases commonly referred 
     to as the ``window of opportunity'' adoption cases, should be 
     allowed to continue and complete the adoption process in a 
     fair, unbiased, and timely fashion;
       (3) such United States adoption cases should be determined 
     on the basis of the two key tenets for international adoption 
     in Paraguay, namely the fitness of the petitioning family to 
     be parents and what is in the best interests and welfare of 
     the child; and
       (4) any international adoption reform legislation approved 
     by the Government of Paraguay should allow such United States 
     adoption cases to complete the adoption process.

 LIMITATION ON ASSISTANCE FOR THE P.L.O. AND THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

       Sec. 572. (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of 
     the Congress that the Palestine Liberation Organization 
     (hereafter the ``P.L.O.'') should do far more to demonstrate 
     an irrevocable denunciation of terrorism and to ensure a 
     peaceful settlement of the Middle East dispute, and in 
     particular it should--
       (1) submit to the Palestinian Council for formal approval 
     the necessary changes to those specific articles of the 
     Palestinian National Charter which deny Israel's right to 
     exist or support the use of violence;
       (2) to the maximum extent possible, preempt acts of terror, 
     discipline violators, publicly condemn all terrorist acts, 
     actively work to dismantle other terrorist organizations, and 
     contribute to stemming the violence that has resulted in the 
     deaths of over 230 Israeli and United States citizens since 
     the signing of the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-
     government Arrangements (hereafter the ``Declaration of 
     Principles'') on September 13, 1993, at the White House;
       (3) prohibit participation in the P.L.O. or the Palestinian 
     Authority or its successors of any groups or individuals 
     which promote or commit acts of terrorism;
       (4) cease all anti-Israel rhetoric, which potentially 
     undermines the peace process;
       (5) confiscate all unlicensed weapons and restrict the 
     issuance of licenses to those with legitimate need;
       (6) transfer and cooperate in transfer proceedings relating 
     to any person accused by Israel or the United States of 
     having committed acts of terrorism against Israeli or United 
     States nationals; and
       (7) respect civil liberties, human rights and democratic 
     norms as applied equally to all persons regardless of ethnic, 
     religious, or national origin.
       (b) Limitation on Assistance.--
       (1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this 
     Act may be obligated for assistance to the P.L.O. or the 
     Palestinian Authority only for the period beginning 3 months

     suspend or make inapplicable section 307 of the Foreign 
     Assistance Act of 1961 and that suspension is still in 
     effect; and
       (B) in addition to the requirements contained in such act

       (i) the President prepares and transmits to the Congress a 
     report described in paragraph (2); and

     responsible for the death of David Boim, a United States 
     citizen), Abu Abbas (responsible for the death of Leon 
     Klinghoffer, a United States citizen), Amid al-Hindi 
     (allegedly responsible for death of David Berger, a United

     or Israelis, and has actively sought the perpetrators of such 
     actions.
