             Sense of Congress on the Palestinian Authority

       Sec. 572. (a) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of 
     Congress that the Palestine Liberation Organization 
     (hereafter the ``P.L.O.'') and the Palestinian Authority 
     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 we condemn--
       (1) the withdrawal of the Palestinian Authority from the 
     joint security arrangements provided by the Oslo Peace 
     Accords;
       (2) the pursuing of the death penalty for Arabs who sell 
     land to Jews, and;
       (3) the misuse of funds by officials of the Palestinian 
     Authority.
       (b) the Congress directs the Secretary of State to prepare 
     and submit a report to Congress within 120 days of enactment 
     of this Act which addresses the degree of progress made in 
     addressing the concerns expressed in subsection (a), and in 
     addition addresses:
       (1) the Palestinian Authority's cooperation with Israeli 
     security forces;
       (2) repeal of the Palestinian Covenant;
       (3) steps taken to expunge from all official documents and 
     publications of the Palestinian Authority depiction of a 
     Palestinian state which does not acknowledge the presence of 
     a sovereign state of Israel;
       (4) the Palestinian Authority's honoring of extradition 
     requests from the United States, Israel and other countries;
       (5) the Palestinian Authority's progress toward repealing 
     edicts imposing the death penalty on anyone who sells land to 
     a Jew;
       (6) whether senior Palestinian officials involved in any 
     way with terrorist operations affecting the state of Israel;
       (7) and, provide a detailed accounting of all U.S. 
     assistance provided to the Palestinian Authority or its 
     representatives, affiliates, and agents.
