     SEC.   . SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING SUPPORT FOR COUNTRIES 
                   OF THE SOUTH CAUCASUS AND CENTRAL ASIA.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) the ancient Silk Road, once the economic lifeline of 
     Central Asia and the South Caucasus, traversed much of the 
     territory now within the countries of Armenia, Azerbijan, 
     Georgia, Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and 
     Uzbekistan.
       (2) Economic interdependence spurred mutual cooperation 
     among the peoples along the Silk Road and restoration of the 
     historic relationships and economic ties between those 
     peoples is an important element of ensuring their sovereignty 
     as well as the success of democratic and market reforms.
       (3) The development of strong political and economic ties 
     between countries of the South Caucasus and Central Asia and 
     the West will foster stability in the region.
       (4) The development of open market economies and open 
     democratic systems in the countries of the South Caucasus and

       (6) The region of the South Caucasus and Central Asia will

     necessary for communications, transportation, and energy and

       (6) to support United States business interests and

     the South Caucasus and Central Asia'' means Armenia,

supra; as follows:

       On page 102, between lines 9 and 10, insert the following:


         TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF DRUG CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES

       Sec. 575. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The international drug trade poses a direct threat to 
     the United States and to international efforts to promote 
     democracy, economic stability, human rights, and the rule 
     of law.
       (2) The United States has a vital national interest in 
     combating the financial and other resources of the 
     multinational drug cartels, which resources threaten the 
     integrity of political and financial institutions both in the 
     United States and abroad.
       (3) Approximately 12,800,000 Americans use illegal drugs, 
     including 1,500,000 cocaine users, 600,000 heroin addicts, 
     and 9,800,000 marijuana users.
       (4) Illegal drug use occurs among members of every ethnic 
     and socioeconomic group in the United States.
       (5) Drug-related illness, death, and crime cost the United 
     States approximately $67,000,000,000 in 1996, including costs 
     for lost productivity, premature death, and incarceration.
       (6) Worldwide drug trafficking generates revenues estimated 
     at $400,000,000,000 annually.
       (7) The United States has spent more than $25,000,000,000 
     for drug interdiction and source country counternarcotics 
     programs since 1981, and despite impressive seizures at the 
     border, on the high seas, and in other countries, illegal 
     drugs from foreign sources are cheaper and more readily 
     available in the United States today than 20 years ago.
       (8) The 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the 1971 
     Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the 1988 
     Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and 
     Psychotropic Substances form the legal framework for 
     international drug control cooperation.
       (9) The United Nations International Drug Control Program, 
     the International Narcotics Control Board, and the 
     Organization of American States can play important roles in 
     facilitating the development and implementation of more 
     effective multilateral programs to combat both domestic and 
     international drug trafficking and consumption.
       (10) The annual certification process required by section 
     490 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2291j), 
     which has been in effect since 1986, has failed to foster 
     bilateral or multilateral cooperation with United States 
     counternarcotics programs because its provisions are vague 
     and inconsistently applied and fail to acknowledge that 
     United States narcotics programs have not been fully 
     effective in combating consumption or trafficking in illegal 
     drugs, and related crimes, in the United States.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) existing United States domestic and international 
     counternarcotics program have not reduced the supply of 
     illegal drugs or significantly reduced domestic consumption 
     of such drugs;
       (2) the President should appoint a high level task force of 
     foreign policy experts, law enforcement officials, and drug 
     specialists to develop a comprehensive program for addressing 
     domestic and international drug trafficking and drug 
     consumption and related crimes, with particular attention to 
     fashioning a multilateral framework for improving 
     international cooperation in combating illegal drug 
     trafficking, and should designate the Director of the Office 
     of National Drug Policy to chair the task force;
       (3) the President should call upon the heads of state of 
     major illicit drug producing countries, major drug transit 
     countries, and major money laundering countries to establish 
     similar high level task forces to work in coordination with 
     the United States; and
       (4) not later than one year after the date of enactment of 
     this Act, the President should call for the convening of an 
     international summit of all interested governments to be 
     hosted by the Organization of American States or another 
     international organization mutually agreed to by the parties, 
     for the purpose of reviewing the findings and recommendations 
     of the task forces referred to in paragraphs (1) and (2) and 
     adopting a counternarcotics plan of action for each country.
       (c) Suspension of Drug Certification Process.--(1) Section 
     490 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2291j), 
     relating to annual certification procedures for assistance 
     for certain drug-producing and drug-transit countries, shall 
     not apply in 1998 and 1999.
       (2) The President may waive the applicability of that 
     section in 2000 if the President determines that the waiver 
     would facilitate the enhancement of United States 
     international narcotics control programs.
                                 ______

  Mr. DODD proposed an amendment to amendment No. 900 proposed by him 
to the bill, S. 955, supra; as follows:

       Strike all after the first word in the pending amendment 
     and add in lieu thereof the following--

     SUSPENSION OF DRUG CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES.

       Sec. 575. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The international drug trade poses a direct threat to

     Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and 
     Psychotropic Substances form the legal framework for

     not apply in 1998 and 1999.
       (2) The President may waive the applicability of that 
     section in 2000 if the President determines prior to December 
     31, 1999 that the waiver would facilitate the enhancement of 
     United States international narcotics control programs.

                 GORTON (AND OTHERS) AMENDMENT NO. 902

  Mr. GORTON (for himself, Mrs. Feinstein, Mrs. Murray, and Mrs. Boxer) 
proposed an amendment to the bill, S. 955, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following:
       The Boeing Company and McDonnell Douglas have announced 
     their merger; and
       The Department of Defense has approved that merger as 
     consistent with the national security of the United States; 
     and
       The Federal Trade Commission has found that merger not to 
     violate the antitrust laws of the United States; and
       The European Commission has consistently criticized and 
     threatened the merger before, during, and after its 
     consideration of the facts; and
       The sole true reason for the European Commission criticism 
     and imminent disapproval of the merger is to gain an unfair 
     competitive advantage for Airbus, a government-owned aircraft 
     manufacturer;
       Now therefore, It is the sense of the Senate that any such 
     disapproval on the part of the European Commission would 
     constitute an unwarranted and unprecedented interference in a 
     United States business transaction that would threaten 
     thousands of American aerospace jobs; and
       The Senate suggests that the President take such actions as 
     he deems appropriate to protect U.S. interests in connection 
     therewith.
                                 ______

       At the appropriate place in the bill, insert the following:


     reform and review of united states sponsored training programs

       Sec.  . (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) United States training of members of Latin American 
     military and security forces that occurred primarily at the 
     Army School of the Americas between 1982 and 1991 has been 
     severely criticized for promoting practices that have 
     contributed to the violation of human rights and have 
     otherwise been inconsistent with the appropriate role of the 
     Armed Forces in a democratic society.
       (2) Numerous members of Latin American military and 
     security forces who have participated in United States 
     sponsored training programs, have subsequently been 
     identified as having masterminded, participated in, or sought 
     to cover up some of the most heinous human rights abuses in 
     the region.
       (3) United States interests in Latin America would be 
     better served if Latin American military personnel were 
     exposed to training programs designed to promote--
       (A) proper management of scarce national defense resources,
       (B) improvements in national systems of justice in 
     accordance with internationally recognized principles of 
     human rights, and
       (C) greater respect and understanding of the principle of 
     civilian control of the military.
       (4) In 1989, Congress mandated that the Department of 
     Defense institute new training programs (commonly referred to 
     as expanded IMET) with funds made available for international 
     military and education programs in order to promote the 
     interests described in paragraph (3). Congress also expanded 
     the definition of eligibility for such training to include 
     non-defense government personnel from countries in Latin 
     America.
       (5) Despite congressionally mandated emphasis on expanded 
     IMET training programs, only 4 of the more than 50 courses 
     offered annually at the United States Army School of the 
     Americas qualify as expanded IMET.
       (b) Limitation of Use of Funds.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, none of the funds appropriated in this Act 
     under the heading relating to international military 
     education and training may be made available for training 
     members of any Latin American military or security force 
     until--
       (1) the Secretary of Defense has advised the Secretary of 
     State in writing that 30 percent of IMET funds appropriated 
     for fiscal year 1998 for the cost of Latin American 
     participants in IMET programs will be disbursed only for the 
     purpose of supporting enrollment of such participants in 
     expanded IMET courses; and
       (2) the Secretary of State has identified sufficient 
     numbers of qualified, non-military personnel from countries 
     in Latin America to participate in IMET programs during 
     fiscal year 1998 in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Defense, and has instructed United States embassies in the 
     hemisphere to approve their participation in such programs so 
     that not less than 25 percent of the individuals from Latin 
     American countries attending United States supported IMET 
     programs are civilians.
       (c) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall report in 
     writing to the appropriate committees of Congress on the 
     progress made to improve military training of Latin American 
     participants in the areas of human rights and civilian 
     control of the military. The Secretary shall include in the 
     report plans for implementing additional expanded IMET 
     programs for Latin America during the next 3 fiscal years.
