     transfer of property.
       (2) Notwithstanding section 2462 of title 10, United States 
     Code, a contract for services may be awarded based on ``best

     Project and is in the best interest of the Department.
       (3) Notwithstanding that such services are generally funded 
     by local and State taxes and provided without specific charge

     be determined in accordance with subsection (g).
       (3) A lease under this subsection--

     necessary to accomplish the goals of the Project; and
       (B) may give the lessee the first right to purchase the 
     property if the lease is terminated to allow the United 
     States to sell the property under any other provision of law.
       (4)(A) The interest of a lessee of property leased under 
     this subsection may be taxed by the State or the Community.

     members of the Armed Forces in the use of weapons and weapon 
     systems before the forces enter hostile military engagements.
       (2) It is the policy of the United States that the Armed 
     Forces at all times exercise the utmost degree of caution in 
     the testing of weapons and weapon systems in order to avoid 
     endangering civilian populations and the environment.
       (3) In the adherence to these policies, it is essential to 
     the public safety that the Armed Forces not test weapons or 
     weapon systems, or engage in training exercises with live 
     ammunition, in close proximity to civilian populations unless 
     there is no reasonable alternative available.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) there should be a thorough and independent 
     investigation of the circumstances that led to the accidental 
     death of a civilian employee of the Navy installation in 
     Vieques, Puerto Rico, and the wounding of four other 
     civilians during a live-ammunition weapons test at Vieques, 
     including a reexamination of the adequacy of the measures 
     that are in place to protect the civilian population during 
     such testing and of the extent to which the civilian 
     population at the site can be adequately protected during 
     such testing;
       (2) the President should not authorize the Navy to resume 
     live ammunition testing on the Island of Vieques, Puerto 
     Rico, unless and until he has advised the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     that--
       (A) there is not available an alternative testing site with 
     no civilian population located in close proximity;
       (B) the national security of the United States requires 
     that the testing be carried out despite the potential risks 
     to the civilian population;
       (C) measures to provide the utmost level of safety to the 
     civilian population are to be in place and maintained 
     throughout the testing; and
       (D) in the event that testing resumes, measures are to be 
     taken to protect the Island of Vieques and the surrounding 
     area from environmental degradation, including possible 
     environmental harm, that might result from the testing of 
     ammunition containing radioactive materials; and
       (3) in addition to advising committees of Congress of the 
     findings as described in paragraph (2), the President should 
     advise the Governor of Puerto Rico of those findings and, if 
     the President decides to resume live-ammunition weapons 
     testing on the Island of Vieques, consult with the Governor 
     on a regular basis regarding the measures being

     taken from time to time to protect civilians from harm from 
     the testing.

  Mr. STEVENS (for Mr. Ashcroft (for himself and Mr. Bond)) proposed an 
amendment to the bill, S. 1122, supra; as follows:

       At the end of the general provisions, add the following:
       Sec. 8109. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The B-2 bomber has been used in combat for the first 
     time in Operation Allied Force against Yugoslavia.
       (2) The B-2 bomber has demonstrated unparalleled strike 
     capability in Operation Allied Force, with cursory data 
     indicating that the bomber could have dropped nearly 20 
     percent of the precision ordnance while flying less than 3 
     percent of the attack sorties.
       (3) According to the congressionally mandated Long Range 
     Air Power Panel, ``long range air power is an increasingly 
     important element of United States military capability''.
       (4) The crews of the B-2 bomber and the personnel of 
     Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, deserve particular credit 
     for flying and supporting the strike missions against 
     Yugoslavia, some of the longest combat missions in the 
     history of the Air Force.
       (5) The bravery and professionalism of the personnel of 
     Whiteman Air Force Base have advanced American interests in 
     the face of significant challenge and hardship.
       (6) The dedication of those who serve in the Armed Forces, 
     exemplified clearly by the personnel of Whiteman Air Force 
     Base, is the greatest national security asset of the United 
     States.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the skill and professionalism with which the B-2 bomber 
     has been used in Operation Allied Force is a credit to the 
     personnel of Whiteman Air Force Base, Missouri, and the Air 
     Force;
       (2) the B-2 bomber has demonstrated an unparalleled 
     capability to travel long distances and deliver devastating 
     weapons payloads, proving its essential role for United 
     States power projection in the future; and
       (3) the crews of the B-2 bomber and the personnel of 
     Whiteman Air Force Base deserve the gratitude of the American 
     people for their dedicated performance in an indispensable 
     role in the air campaign against Yugoslavia and in the 
     defense of the United States.

  Mr. STEVENS (for Mr. Brownback) proposed an amendment to amendment 
No. 578 proposed by Mr. Roberts to the bill, S. 1122, supra; as 
follows:

       In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the 
     amendment, insert the following:

   TITLE---SUSPENSION OF CERTAIN SANCTIONS AGAINST INDIA AND PAKISTAN

     SEC. __1. SUSPENSION OF SANCTIONS.

       (a) In General.--Effective for the period of five years 
     commencing on the date of enactment of this Act, the 
     sanctions contained in the following provisions of law shall 
     not apply to India and Pakistan with respect to any grounds 
     for the imposition of sanctions under those provisions 
     arising prior to that date:
       (1) Section 101 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 
     2799aa).
       (2) Section 102 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 
     2799aa-1) other than subsection (b)(2)(B), (C), or (G).
       (3) Section 2(b)(4) of the Export Import Bank Act of 1945 
     (12 U.S.C. 635(b)(4)).
       (b) Special Rule for Commercial Exports of Dual-Use 
     Articles and Technology.--The sanction contained in section 
     102(b)(2)(G) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 
     2799aa-1(b)(2)(G)) shall not apply to India or Pakistan with 
     respect to any grounds for the imposition of that sanction 
     arising prior to the date of enactment of this Act if 
     imposition of the sanction (but for this paragraph) would 
     deny any license for the export of any dual-use article, or 
     related dual-use technology (including software), listed on 
     the Commerce Control List of the Export Administration 
     Regulations that would not contribute directly to missile 
     development or to a nuclear weapons program. For purposes of 
     this subsection, an article or technology that is not 
     primarily used for missile development or nuclear weapons 
     programs.
       (c) National Security Interests Waiver of Sanctions.--
       (1) In general.--The restriction on assistance in section 
     102(b)(2)(B), (C), or (G) of the Arms Export Control Act 
     shall not apply if the President determines, and so certifies 
     to Congress, that the application of the restriction would 
     not be in the national security interests of the United 
     States.
       (2) Sense of the senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (A) no waiver under paragraph (1) should be invoked for 
     section 102(b)(2)(B) or (C) of the Arms Export Control Act 
     with respect to any party that initiates or supports 
     activities that jeopardize peace and security in Jammu and 
     Kashmir;
       (B) The broad application of export controls to nearly 300 
     Indian and Pakistani entities is inconsistent with the 
     specific national security interest of the United States and 
     that this control list requires refinement.
       (C) export controls should be applied only to those Indian 
     and Pakistani entities that make direct and material 
     contributions to weapons of mass destruction and missile 
     programs and only to those items that can contribute such 
     programs.
       (d) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than 60 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
     a report to the appropriate congressional committees listing 
     those Indian and Pakistani entities whose activities 
     contribute directly and materially to missile programs or 
     weapons of mass destruction programs.
       (e) Congressional Notification.--A license for the export 
     of a defense article, defense service, or technology is 
     subject to the same requirements as are applicable to the 
     export of items described in section 36(c) of the Arms Export 
     Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2776(c)), including the transmittal of 
     information and the application of congressional review 
     procedures described in that section.
       (f) Renewal of Suspension.--Upon the expiration of the 
     initial five-year period of suspension of the sanctions 
     contained in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (a), the 
     President may renew the suspension with respect to India, 
     Pakistan, or both for additional periods of five years each 
     if, not less than 30 days prior to each renewal of 
     suspension, the President certifies to the appropriate 
     congressional committees that it is in the national interest 
     of the United States to do so.
       (g) Restriction.--The authority of subsection (a) may not 
     be used to provide assistance under chapter 4 of part II of 
     the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.; 
     relating to economic support fund assistance) except for--
       (1) assistance that supports the activities of 
     nongovernmental organizations;
       (2) assistance that supports democracy or the establishment 
     of democratic institutions; or
       (3) humanitarian assistance.
       (h) Statutory Construction.--Nothing in this Act prohibits 
     the imposition of sanctions by the President under any 
     provision of law specified in subsection (a) or (b) by reason 
     of any grounds for the imposition of sanctions under that 
     provision of law arising on or after the date of enactment of 
     this Act.

     SEC. __2. REPEALS.

       The following provisions of law are repealed:

     (22 U.S.C. 2375(e)).

     Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration,

                COVERDELL (AND KERREY) AMENDMENT NO. 605

  Mr. STEVENS (for Mr. Coverdell, for himself and Mr. Kerrey), proposed 
an amendment to the bill, S. 1122, supra; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert:
       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On June 25, 1996, a bomb detonated not more than 80 
     feet from the Air Force housing complex known as Khobar 
     Towers in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 members of the 
     Air Force, and injuring hundreds more;
       (2) An FBI investigation of the bombing, soon to enter its 
     fourth year, has not yet determined who was responsible for 
     the attack; and
       (3) The Senate in S. Res. 273 in the 104th Congress 
     condemned this terrorist attack in the strongest terms and 
     urged the United States Government to use all reasonable 
     means available to the Government of the United States to 
     punish the parties responsible for the bombings.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that:
       (1) The United States Government must continue its 
     investigation into the Khobar Towers bombing until every 
     terrorist involved is identified, held accountable, and 
     punished;
       (2) The FBI, together with the Department of State, should 
     report to Congress no later than December 31, 1999, on the 
     status of its investigation into the Khobar Towers bombing; 
     and
       (3) Once responsibility for the attack has been established 
     the United States Government must take steps to punish the 
     parties involved.
                                 ______

     the Secretary of the Army, in consultation with the Secretary 
     of the Interior, shall prepare a written determination

     hazardous wastes and substances. A copy of such determination 
     shall be transmitted with the relinquishment notice.
       (c) Decontamination and Remediation.--In the case of 
     contaminated lands which are the subject of a relinquishment 
     notice, the Secretary of the Army shall decontaminate or 
     remediate the land to the extent that funds are appropriated 
     for such purpose if the Secretary of the Interior, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of the Army, determines 
     that--
       (1) decontamination or remediation of the lands is 
     practicable and economically feasible, taking into 
     consideration the potential future use and value of the land; 
     and
       (2) upon decontamination or remediation, the land could be 
     opened to the operation of some or all of the public land

       (e) Authority of Secretary of the Interior To Refuse 
     Contaminated Lands.--The Secretary of the Interior shall not 
     be required to accept lands specified in a relinquishment 
     notice if the Secretary of the Interior, after consultation 
     with the Secretary of the Army, concludes that--
       (1) decontamination or remediation of any land subject to 
     the relinquishment notice is not practicable or economically 
     feasible;
       (2) the land cannot be decontaminated or remediated 
     sufficiently to be opened to operation of some or all of the 
     public land laws; or
       (3) a sufficient amount of funds are not appropriated for 
     the decontamination of the land.
       (f) Status of Contaminated Lands.--If, because of the 
     condition of the lands, the Secretary of the Interior 
     declines to accept jurisdiction of lands proposed for 
     relinquishment or, if at the expiration of the withdrawal 
     made under this title, the Secretary of the Interior 
     determines that some of the withdrawn lands are contaminated 
     to an extent which prevents opening such contaminated lands 
     to operation of the public land laws--
       (1) the Secretary of the Army shall take appropriate steps 
     to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands 
     and any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
       (2) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary 
     of the Army shall retain jurisdiction over the withdrawn 
     lands, but shall undertake no activities on such lands except 
     in connection with the decontamination or remediation of such 
     lands; and
       (3) the Secretary of the Army shall report to the Secretary 
     of the Interior and to the Congress concerning the status of 
     such lands and all actions taken under paragraphs (1) and 
     (2).
       (g) Subsequent Decontamination or Remediation.--If lands 
     covered by subsection (f) are subsequently decontaminated or 
     remediated and the Secretary of the Army certifies that the 
     lands are safe for nonmilitary uses, the Secretary of the 
     Interior shall reconsider accepting jurisdiction over the 
     lands.
       (h) Revocation Authority.--Notwithstanding any other 
     provision of law, upon deciding that it is in the public 
     interest to accept jurisdiction over lands specified in a 
     relinquishment notice, the Secretary of the Interior may 
     revoke the withdrawal and reservation made under this title 
     as it applies to such lands. If the decision be made to 
     accept the relinquishment and to revoke the withdrawal and 
     reservation, the Secretary of the Interior shall publish in 
     the Federal Register an appropriate order which shall--
       (1) terminate the withdrawal and reservation;
       (2) constitute official acceptance of full jurisdiction 
     over the lands by the Secretary of the Interior; and
       (3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to
