                   Subtitle B--Foreign Service Reform

     SEC. 311. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) To carry out its international relations and diplomacy, 
     the United States has relied on a professional career Foreign 
     Service that was established by law in 1924.

[[Page S7656]]

       (2) The Foreign Service Act of 1980 accurately states that 
     the United States career foreign service is essential to the 
     national interest in that it assists the President and the 
     Secretary of State in conducting the foreign affairs of the 
     United States.
       (3) The career Foreign Service is premised on a membership 
     that is characterized by excellence, intelligence, 
     professionalism, and integrity.
       (4) Ethical, professional, and financial misconduct by 
     career members of the Foreign Service, while uncommon, must 
     be met with fair but swift disciplinary action. A failure to 
     adequately discipline, and in some cases remove from the 
     Foreign Service, those career members who violate laws or 
     regulations would erode the qualities of excellence required 
     of United States Foreign Service members.
       (5) Retention of members of the Foreign Service who do not 
     meet high standards of conduct would in the long term harm 
     important national interests of the United States.

        TITLE IV--EMBASSY SECURITY AND COUNTERTERRORISM MEASURES

     SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Secure Embassy 
     Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999''.

     SEC. 402. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On August 7, 1998, the United States embassies in 
     Nairobi, Kenya, and in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, were 
     destroyed by simultaneously exploding bombs. The resulting 
     explosions killed 220 persons and injured more than 4,000 
     others. Twelve Americans and 40 Kenyan and Tanzanian 
     employees of the United States Foreign Service were killed in 
     the attack.
       (2) The United States personnel in both Dar es Salaam and 
     Nairobi showed leadership and personal courage in their 
     response to the attacks. Despite the havoc wreaked upon the 
     embassies, staff in both embassies provided rapid response in 
     locating and rescuing victims, providing emergency 
     assistance, and quickly restoring embassy operations during a 
     crisis.
       (3) The bombs are believed to have been set by individuals 
     associated with Osama bin Laden, leader of a known 
     transnational terrorist organization. In February 1998, bin 
     Laden issued a directive to his followers that called for 
     attacks against United States interests anywhere in the 
     world.
       (4) Following the bombings, additional threats have been 
     made against United States diplomatic facilities.
       (5) Accountability Review Boards were convened following 
     the bombings, as required by Public Law 99-399, chaired by 
     Admiral William J. Crowe, United States Navy (Ret.) (in this 
     section referred to as the ``Crowe panels'').
       (6) The conclusions of the Crowe panels were strikingly 
     similar to those stated by the Commission chaired by Admiral 
     Bobby Ray Inman, which issued an extensive embassy security 
     report more than 14 years ago.
       (7) The Crowe panels issued a report setting out many 
     problems with security at United States diplomatic 
     facilities, in particular the following:
       (A) The United States Government has devoted inadequate 
     resources to security against terrorist attacks.
       (B) The United States Government places too low a priority 
     on security concerns.
       (8) The result has been a failure to take adequate steps to 
     prevent tragedies such as the bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.
       (9) The Crowe panels found that there was an institutional 
     failure on the part of the Department of State to recognize 
     threats posed by transnational terrorism and vehicular bombs.
       (10) Responsibility for ensuring adequate resources for 
     security programs is widely shared throughout the United 
     States Government, including Congress. Unless the 
     vulnerabilities identified by the Crowe panels are addressed 
     in a sustained and financially realistic manner, the lives 
     and safety of United States employees in diplomatic 
     facilities will continue to be at risk from further terrorist 
     attacks.
       (11) Although service in the Foreign Service or other 
     United States Government positions abroad can never be 
     completely without risk, the United States Government must 
     take all reasonable steps to minimize security risks.

     SEC. 403. UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC FACILITY DEFINED.

       In this title, the terms ``United States diplomatic 
     facility'' and ``diplomatic facility'' mean any chancery, 
     consulate, or other office building used by a United States 
     diplomatic mission or consular post or by personnel of any 
     agency of the United States abroad, except that those terms 
     do not include any facility under the command of a United 
     States area military commander.

       (b) Congressional Notification Required Prior to Transfer 
     of Funds.--Prior to the transfer of funds from the ``Embassy 
     Construction and Security'' account to any other account, the

     as follows:

     ``SEC. 301. ACCOUNTABILITY REVIEW BOARDS.

       ``(a) In General.

     (2), in any case of serious injury, loss of life, or 
     significant destruction of property at or related to a United 
     States Government mission abroad, and in any case of a

       (a) Definitions.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
     following terms when used in publications of the United 
     States Government, or in oral representations by officials of 
     the United States Government, should have the following 
     meanings:
       (1) Effectively verifiable.--The term ``effectively 
     verifiable'' means that the requirements of subparagraphs (A) 
     and (B) are met, as follows:
       (A) The Director of Central Intelligence has certified to 
     the President that the intelligence community has a high 
     degree of confidence, with respect to a particular treaty or 
     other agreement, in its ability to detect any militarily 
     significant violation of the treaty or other agreement in a 
     timely fashion, and to detect patterns of marginal violation 
     over time. In determining the intelligence community's 
     confidence, the Director should assume that all measures of 
     concealment could be employed and that standard practices 
     could be altered so as to impede monitoring.
       (B) The Secretaries of State and Defense and the Chairman 
     of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have certified to the President 
     that they have a high degree of confidence, with respect to a 
     particular treaty or other agreement, that the United States 
     will be able to reach a legal and technical determination 
     regarding any militarily significant violation of the treaty 
     or other agreement in a timely fashion, and to reach such a 
     determination regarding patterns of marginal violation, once 
     detected. In determining the level of confidence under this 
     subparagraph, the Secretaries of State and Defense and the 
     Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff should assume that all 
     measures of concealment could be employed and that standard 
     practices could be altered so as to impede monitoring.
       (2) Militarily significant violation.--The Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff, in consultation with the Secretary of 
     Defense, has sole responsibility for determining with 
     specificity, for purposes of any treaty or other 
     international agreement having implications for the national 
     security of the United States, what constitutes a militarily 
     significant violation. In making such a determination, the 
     Chairman should give great weight to his judgment that the 
     violation could pose a threat to the national security 
     interests of the United States.
       (3) Timely fashion defined.--In this section, the term 
     ``timely fashion'' means in sufficient time for the United 
     States to take remedial action to safeguard the national 
     security.
       (b) Conforming Amendments.--Section 37(a) of the Arms 
     Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2577(a)) is amended--
       (1) by striking ``adequately'';
       (2) by redesignating subsections (b), (c), and (d) as 
     subsections (c), (d), and (e); and
       (3) by inserting after subsection (a) the following new 
     subsection:

     chairman or ranking minority member of the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate or the Committee on 
     International Relations of the House of Representatives, in 
     case of an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament 
     proposal--
       ``(1) under consideration for presentation to a foreign 
     country by the United States;
       ``(2) presented to a foreign country by the United States; 
     or
       ``(3) presented to the United States by a foreign country;

     the Secretary of State shall submit a report to the Committee

     pursuant to paragraph 1 of Section XVIII of that Protocol.
       (4) Paragraph 12 of Annex 3 to the Inspections Protocol to 
     the START Treaty states that, once a missile has been 
     selected and prepared for reentry vehicle inspection, the 
     inspectors shall be given ``a clear, unobstructed view of the 
     front section [of the missile], to ascertain that the front 
     section contains no more reentry vehicles than the number of 
     warheads attributed to missiles of that type''.
       (5) Paragraph 13 of Annex 3 to the Inspections Protocol to 
     the START Treaty states the following: ``If a member of the 
     in-country escort declares that an object contained in the

     shall demonstrate to the satisfaction of the inspectors that 
     this object is not a reentry vehicle.''.
       (6) Section II of Annex 8 to the Inspections Protocol to 
     the START Treaty provides that radiation detection equipment 
     may be used during reentry vehicle inspections.
       (7) Paragraph F.1 of Section VI of Annex 8 to the 
     Inspections Protocol to the START Treaty states the 
     following: ``Radiation detection equipment shall be used to 
     measure nuclear radiation levels in order to demonstrate that 
     objects declared to be non-nuclear are non-nuclear.''.
       (8) While the use of radiation detection equipment may help 
     to determine whether an object that ``a member of the in-
     country escort declares..is not a reentry vehicle'' is a 
     reentry vehicle with a nuclear warhead, it cannot help to 
     determine whether that object is a reentry vehicle with a 
     non-nuclear warhead.
       (9) Article XV of the START Treaty provides for a Joint 
     Compliance and Inspection Commission that shall meet to 
     ``resolve questions relating to compliance with the 
     obligations assumed''.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) the United States should assert and, to the maximum 
     extent possible, exercise the right for reentry vehicle 
     inspectors to obtain a clear, unobstructed view of the front 
     section of a deployed SS-18 ICBM selected for reentry vehicle 
     inspection pursuant to paragraph 6 of Article XI of the START 
     Treaty;
       (2) the United States should assert and, to the maximum 
     extent possible, obtain Russian compliance with the 
     obligation of the host Party, pursuant to paragraph 13 of 
     Annex 3 to the Inspections Protocol to the START Treaty, to 
     demonstrate to the satisfaction of the inspectors that an 
     object which is declared not to be a reentry vehicle is not a 
     reentry vehicle;
       (3) if a member of the in-country escort declares that an 
     object contained in the front section of a deployed SS-18 
     ICBM selected for reentry vehicle inspection pursuant to 
     paragraph 6 of Article XI of the START Treaty is not a 
     reentry vehicle, but the inspected Party does not demonstrate 
     to the satisfaction of the inspectors that this object is not 
     a reentry vehicle, the United States inspection team should 
     record this fact in the official inspection report as an 
     ambiguity and the United States should raise this matter in 
     the Joint Compliance and Inspection Commission as a concern 
     relating to compliance of Russia with the obligations assumed 
     under the Treaty;
       (4) the United States should not agree to any arrangement 
     whereby the use of radiation detection equipment in a reentry 
     vehicle inspection, or a combination of the use of such 
     equipment and Russian assurances regarding SS-18 ICBMs, would 
     suffice to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the inspectors 
     that an object which is declared not to be a reentry vehicle 
     is not a reentry vehicle; and
       (5) the United States should not agree to any arrangement 
     whereby the use of technical equipment in a reentry vehicle 
     inspection would suffice to demonstrate to the satisfaction 
     of the inspectors that an object which is declared not to be 
     a reentry vehicle is not a reentry vehicle, unless the 
     Director of Central Intelligence, in consultation with the 
     Secretaries of State, Defense, and Energy, has determined 
     that such equipment can demonstrate to the satisfaction of 
     the inspectors that an object which is declared not to be a 
     reentry vehicle is not a reentry vehicle.
       (c) START Treaty Defined.--In this section, the term 
     ``START Treaty'' means the Treaty With the Union of Soviet 
     Socialist Republics on the Reduction and Limitation of 
     Strategic Offensive Arms, including all agreed statements, 
     annexes, protocols, and memoranda, signed at Moscow on July 
     31, 1991.

     and the Committee on International Relations of the House 
     Representatives that--
       (1) arrangements for the establishment of that facility 
     will further United States nuclear non-proliferation

     and all nuclear materials and equipment therein, and any fuel 
     elements or special nuclear material produced, fabricated, 
     reprocessed, or assembled at that facility, including fuel 
     elements exported or supplied by Russia to a third party,

     appropriate, of the location and end-use of any item under 
     their jurisdiction that has been exported from the United 
     States to Hong Kong or Macao, then Hong Kong or Macao, as the 
     case may be, shall thereafter be treated in the same manner 
     as the People's Republic of China for the purpose of any 
     export of any item described in subsection (d).
       (c) Waiver Authority.--The Secretary of State, with respect 
     to any item defined in subsection (d)(1), or the Secretary of

       Not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this 
     Act, the Secretary of State shall submit to the chairman of 
     the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the 
     chairman of the Committee on International Relations of the 
     House of Representatives a study on the performance of the

     with recommendations on how to improve that performance. The 
     study shall include:
       (1) An analysis of the typology of licenses on which action 
     was completed in 1999. The analysis should provide 
     information on major categories of license requests, 
     including--
       (A) the number for nonautomatic small arms, automatic small 
     arms, technical data, parts and components, and other 
     weapons;

     agencies;
       (C) the average and median time taken for the processing 
     cycle for each category when staffed and not staffed;
       (D) the average time taken by White House or National 
     Security Council review or scrutiny; and
       (E) the average time each spent at the Department of State 
     after a decision had been taken on the license but before a 
     contractor was notified of the decision. For each category 
     the study should provide a breakdown of licenses by country. 
     The analysis also should identify each country that has been 
     identified in the past three years pursuant to section 3(e) 
     of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2753(e)).
       (2) A review of the current computer capabilities of the 
     Department of State relevant to the processing of licenses 
     and its ability to communicate electronically with other 
     agencies and contractors, and what improvements could be made 
     that would speed the process, including the cost for such 
     improvements.
       (3) An analysis of the work load and salary structure for 
     export licensing officers of the Office of Defense Trade 
     Control of the Department of State as compared to comparable 
     jobs at the Department of Commerce and the Department of 
     Defense.
       (4) Any suggestions of the Department of State relating to 
     resources and regulations, and any relevant statutory changes 
     that might expedite the licensing process while furthering 
     the objectives of the Arms Export Control Act.

                  TITLE VII--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                 Subtitle A--People's Republic of China

     SEC. 701. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Congress concurs in the conclusions of the Department 
     of State, as set forth in the Country Reports on Human Rights 
     Practices for 1998, on human rights in the People's Republic 
     of China in 1998 as follows:
       (A) ``The People's Republic of China (PRC) is an 
     authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party 
     (CCP) is the paramount source of power. . . . Citizens lack 
     both the freedom peacefully to express opposition to the 
     party-led political system and the right to change their 
     national leaders or form of government.''.
       (B) ``The Government continued to commit widespread and 
     well-documented human rights abuses, in violation of 
     internationally accepted norms. These abuses stemmed from the 
     authorities' very limited tolerance of public dissent aimed 
     at the Government, fear of unrest, and the limited scope or 
     inadequate implementation of laws protecting basic 
     freedoms.''.
       (C) ``Abuses included instances of extrajudicial killings, 
     torture and mistreatment of prisoners, forced confessions, 
     arbitrary arrest and detention, lengthy incommunicado 
     detention, and denial of due process.''.
       (D) ``Prison conditions at most facilities remained harsh. 
     . . . The Government infringed on citizens' privacy rights. 
     The Government continued restrictions on freedom of speech 
     and of the press, and tightened these toward the end of the 
     year. The Government severely restricted freedom of assembly, 
     and continued to restrict freedom of association, religion, 
     and movement.''.
       (E) ``Discrimination against women, minorities, and the 
     disabled; violence against women, including coercive family 
     planning practices--which sometimes include forced abortion 
     and forced sterilization; prostitution, trafficking in women 
     and children, and the abuse of children all are problems.''.
       (F) ``The Government continued to restrict tightly worker 
     rights, and forced labor remains a problem.''.
       (G) ``Serious human rights abuses persisted in minority 
     areas, including Tibet and Xinjiang, where restrictions on 
     religion and other fundamental freedoms intensified.''.
       (H) ``Unapproved religious groups, including Protestant and 
     Catholic groups, continued to experience varying degrees of 
     official interference and repression.''.
       (I) ``Although the Government denies that it holds 
     political or religious prisoners, and argues that all those 
     in prison are legitimately serving sentences for crimes under 
     the law, an unknown number of persons, estimated at several 
     thousand, are detained in violation of international human 
     rights instruments for peacefully expressing their political, 
     religious, or social views.''.
       (2) In addition to the State Department, credible press 
     reports and human rights organizations have documented an 
     intense crackdown on political activists by the Government of 
     the People's Republic of China, involving the harassment, 
     detainment, arrest, and imprisonment of dozens of activists.
       (3) The People's Republic of China, as a member of the 
     United Nations, is expected to abide by the provisions of the 
     Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
       (4) The People's Republic of China is a party to numerous 
     international human rights conventions, including the 
     Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or 
     Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and is a signatory to the 
     International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the 
     Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights.

       It is the sense of Congress that--

[[Page S7665]]

       (4) individuals subject to the jurisdiction of the United

     SEC. 723. CONGRESSIONAL POLICY REGARDING UNITED NATIONS 
                   GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION ES-10/6.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In an emergency special session the United Nations 
     General Assembly voted on February 9, 1999, to adopt 
     Resolution ES-10/6, entitled ``Illegal Israeli Actions in 
     Occupied East Jerusalem And The Rest Of The Occupied 
     Palestinian Territory'', to convene for the first time in 50 
     years the parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention for the 
     Protection of Civilians in Time of War.
       (2) That resolution unfairly places full blame for the 
     deterioration of the peace process in the Middle East on 
     Israel and dangerously politicizes the Geneva Convention, 
     which was established to address critical humanitarian 
     crises.
       (3) The adoption of that resolution is intended to prejudge 
     direct negotiations in the peace process in the Middle East, 
     put additional and undue pressure on Israel to influence the 
     results of such negotiations, and single out Israel for 
     unprecedented enforcement proceedings which have never been 
     invoked, even against governments with records of massive 
     violations of the Geneva Convention.
       (b) Statement of Policy.--Congress--
       (1) commends the Department of State for the vote of the 
     United States against United Nations General Assembly 
     Resolution ES-10/6, thereby affirming that the text of the 
     resolution politicizes the Fourth Geneva Convention, which is 
     primarily humanitarian in nature; and
       (2) urges the Department of State to continue its efforts 
     against convening the conference specified in the resolution.

     SEC. 724. WAIVER OF CERTAIN PROHIBITIONS REGARDING THE 
                   PALESTINE LIBERATION ORGANIZATION.

     prohibition set forth in section 1003 of the Foreign

     (Public Law 100-204; 101 Stat. 1407; 22 U.S.C. 5202) if the 
     President determines and so certifies to the appropriate 
     congressional committees that--
       (1) it is in the national interest of the United States to 
     do so; and
       (2) after the date of the enactment of this Act, neither 
     the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Palestinian 
     Authority, the Palestinian Legislative Council, nor any 
     Palestinian governing body with jurisdiction over territories 
     controlled by the Palestinian Authority has made a 
     declaration of statehood outside the framework of 
     negotiations with the State Israel.
       (b) Period of Applicability of Waiver.--Any waiver under 
     subsection (a) shall be effective for not more than 6 months 
     at a time.

     SEC. 725. UNITED STATES POLICY REGARDING JERUSALEM AS THE 
                   CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.

       (a) Construction of United States Embassy in Jerusalem.--Of 
     the amounts authorized to be appropriated by section 
     101(a)(3) of this Act for ``Security and Maintenance of 
     United States Missions'', $50,000,000 for the fiscal year 
     2000 and $50,000,000 for the fiscal year 2001 may be 
     available for the construction of a United States embassy in 
     Jerusalem, Israel.
       (b) Limitation on Use of Funds for Consulate in 
     Jerusalem.--None of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
     by this Act should be obligated or expended for the operation 
     of a United States consulate or diplomatic facility in 
     Jerusalem unless such consulate or diplomatic facility is 
     under the supervision of the United States Ambassador to 
     Israel.
       (c) Limitation on Use of Funds for Certain Publications.--
     None of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act 
     may be obligated or expended for the publication of any 
     official government document which lists countries and their 
     capital cities unless the document identifies Jerusalem as 
     the capital of Israel.
       (d) Record of Place of Birth as Israel for Passport 
     Purposes.--For purposes of the registration of birth, 
     certification of nationality, or issuance of a passport of a 
     United States citizen born in the city of Jerusalem, the 
     Secretary of State shall, upon the request of the citizen, 
     record the place of birth as Israel.

     SEC. 726. UNITED STATES POLICY WITH RESPECT TO NIGERIA.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) A stable and democratic Nigeria is important to the 
     interests of the United States, the West African region, and 
     the international community.
       (2) Millions of Nigerians participated in four rounds of 
     multiparty elections as part of a transition program that 
     will culminate in the inauguration of a civilian president, 
     members of the National Assembly, governors, and local 
     leaders on May 29, 1999. Although turnout in each of the four 
     rounds was lower than expected, a clear majority of Nigerians 
     demonstrated their support for a swift and orderly transition 
     to democratic civilian rule through participation in the 
     elections or through other means.
       (3) Nevertheless, continued rule by successive military 
     regimes in Nigeria has harmed the lives of the people of 
     Nigeria, undermined confidence in the Nigerian economy, 
     damaged relations between Nigeria and the United States, and 
     threatened the political and economic stability of West 
     Africa.
       (4) Although the current military regime, under the 
     leadership of General Abdusalami Abubakar, has made 
     significant progress in liberalizing the political 
     environment in Nigeria, including increased respect for 
     freedom of assembly, expression, and association, numerous 
     decrees are still in force that suspend the constitutional 
     protection of fundamental human rights, allow indefinite 
     detention without charge, and revoke the jurisdiction of 
     civilian courts over executive actions.
       (5) Despite the optimism expressed by many observers about 
     the progress that has been made in Nigeria, the country's 
     recent history raises serious questions about the potential 
     success of the transition program. In particular, events in 
     the Niger Delta in early 1999 underscore the critical need 
     for ongoing monitoring of the situation and indicate that a 
     return by the Government of Nigeria to repressive methods 
     remains a possibility.
       (b) Declaration of Policy.--Congress declares that the 
     United States--
       (1) supports a timely, effective, and sustainable 
     transition to democratic, civilian government in Nigeria; and
       (2) encourages the incoming civilian government in Nigeria 
     to make the political, economic, and legal reforms necessary 
     to ensure the rule of law and respect for human rights in 
     Nigeria, including establishing effective democratic 
     institutions, integrating the military into democratic 
     society, and creating mechanisms for transparency and 
     accountability.

     SEC. 727. PARTIAL LIQUIDATION OF BLOCKED LIBYAN ASSETS.

       (a) Liquidation of Certain Blocked Libyan Assets.--The 
     President shall vest and liquidate so much of blocked Libyan 
     assets, ordered pursuant to Executive Order No. 12544 
     (January 8, 1986), as is necessary to pay for the reasonable 
     costs of travel to and from The Hague, Netherlands, by 
     immediate family members of United States citizens who were 
     victims of the crash of Pan American flight 103 in 1988 and 
     wish to attend the trial of those individuals suspected of 
     terrorist acts causing the crash.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section--
       (1) Blocked libyan assets.--The term ``blocked Libyan 
     assets'' refers to property and interests of the Government 
     of Libya, its agencies, instrumentalities, and controlled

[[Page S7666]]

     entities and the Bank of Libya, blocked pursuant to Executive 
     Order No. 12544 (January 8, 1986).
       (2) Immediate family members.--The term ``immediate family 
     member'' means parents, siblings, children, spouse, or a 
     person who stood in loco parentis or to whom he or she stood 
     in loco parentis, of a crash victim.

     SEC. 728. SUPPORT FOR REFUGEES FROM RUSSIA WHO CHOOSE TO 
                   RESETTLE IN ISRAEL.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The Russian Jewish community is the third largest 
     Jewish community in the world.
       (2) Anti-Semitic rhetoric from members of the Duma of the 
     Russian Federation has increased during the past year.
       (3) The Duma failed to pass a resolution condemning the 
     anti-Semitic statements made by Russian lawmakers on March 
     19, 1999.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the United States should support members of Russia's 
     Jewish community; and
       (2) the United States should continue to provide assistance 
     to Russian Jewish refugees resettling in Israel.

     SEC. 729. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING EXTRADITION OF LT. 
                   GENERAL IGOR GIORGADZE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On Tuesday, August 29, 1995, President Eduard 
     Shevardnadze of Georgia was the victim of an attempted 
     assassination plot as he was departing his offices in the 
     Georgian Parliament building to attend the signing ceremony 
     for a new Georgian constitution.
       (2) Former Chief of the Georgian National Security Service, 
     Lt. General Igor Giorgadze, has been implicated in organizing 
     the August 29, 1995 car bomb attack on President 
     Shevardnadze, and allegedly fled from the Varziani air base, 
     one of Russia's four military bases in Georgia at that time, 
     and the same Russian base on which three Georgia aircraft SU 
     25's were sabotaged, preventing them from performing fighter 
     escort duty for President Shevardnadze's aircraft.
       (3) Lt. General Igor Giorgadze has subsequently been seen 
     walking freely on the streets of Moscow as well as living and 
     utilizing facilities of the Government of Russia.
       (4) Interpol is conducting a search for Lt. General Igor 
     Giorgadze for his role in the assassination attempt against 
     President Shevardnadze.
       (5) In the aftermath of the attack on President 
     Shevardnadze, and regularly since that time, the Government 
     of Georgia has made repeated requests for the extradition of 
     Lt. General Igor Giorgadze to Tbilisi, Georgia.
       (6) The Russian Interior Ministry has claimed that it is 
     unable to locate Giorgadze.
       (7) The Georgian Security and Interior Ministries on 
     repeated occasions have provided to the Russian Interior 
     Ministry--
       (A) the exact locations in Russia where Giorgadze could be 
     found, including the exact location in Moscow where 
     Giorgadze's family lived;
       (B) the exact location where Giorgadze himself stayed 
     outside of Moscow in a dacha of the Russian Ministry of 
     Defense;
       (C) people he associates with;
       (D) apartments he visits; and
       (E) the places, including restaurants, markets, and 
     companies, he frequents.
       (8) Russian newspapers regularly carry interviews with 
     Giorgadze in which Giorgadze calls for a change in regime in 
     Tbilisi.
       (9) Giorgadze is actively engaged in a propaganda campaign 
     against President Shevardnadze and the democratic forces in 
     Georgia, with the assistance of his father who is the 
     Communist Party chief in Georgia.
       (10) Giorgadze continues to organize and plan attempts on 
     the life of President Shevardnadze.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the President and other senior United States Government 
     officials should raise at each bilateral meeting between 
     officials of the United States Government and officials of 
     the Russian Federation the issue of the extradition of Lt. 
     General Igor Giorgadze to Georgia.

     SEC. 730. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE USE OF CHILDREN AS 
                   SOLDIERS OR OTHER COMBATANTS IN FOREIGN ARMED 
                   FORCES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) There are at least 300,000 children who are involved in 
     armed conflict in at least 25 countries around the world. 
     This is an escalating international humanitarian crisis which 
     must be addressed promptly.
       (2) Children are uniquely vulnerable to military 
     recruitment because of their emotional and physical 
     immaturity, are easily manipulated, and can be drawn into 
     violence that they are too young to resist or understand.
       (3) Children are most likely to become child soldiers if 
     they are orphans, refugees, poor, separated from their 
     families, displaced from their homes, living in a combat 
     zone, or have limited access to education.
       (4) Child soldiers, besides being exposed to the normal 
     hazards of combat, are also afflicted with other injuries due 
     to their lives in the military. Young children may have 
     sexually related illnesses, suffer from malnutrition, have 
     deformed backs and shoulders which are the result of carrying 
     loads too heavy for them, as well as respiratory and skin 
     infections.
       (5) One of the most egregious examples of the use of child 
     soldiers is the abduction thousands of children, some as 
     young as 8 years of age, by the Lord's Resistance Army (in 
     this section referred to as the ``LRA") in northern Uganda.
       (6) The Department of State's Country Reports on Human 
     Rights Practices For 1999 reports that in Uganda the LRA 
     abducted children ``to be guerillas and tortured them by 
     beating them, raping them, forcing them to march until 
     collapse, and denying them adequate food, water, or 
     shelter''.
       (7) Children who manage to escape from LRA captivity have 
     little access to trauma care and rehabilitation programs, and 
     many find their families displaced, missing, dead, or fearful 
     of having their children return home.
       (8) A large number of children have participated and been 
     killed in the armed conflict in Sri Lanka, and the use of 
     children as soldiers has led to a breakdown in law and order 
     in Sierra Leone.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--
       (1) Condemnation.--Congress hereby joins the international 
     community in condemning the use of children as soldiers and 
     other combatants by governmental and non-governmental armed 
     forces.
       (2) Further sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress 
     that the Secretary of State should--
       (A) study the issue of the rehabilitation of former child 
     soldiers, the manner in which their suffering can be 
     alleviated, and the positive role that the United States can 
     play in such an effort; and
       (B) submit a report to Congress on the issue of 
     rehabilitation of child soldiers and their families.

     SEC. 733. SELF-DETERMINATION IN EAST TIMOR

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (1) On May 5, 1999, the Governments of Indonesia and 
     Portugal signed an agreement that provides for an August 8, 
     1999 ballot organized by the United Nations on East Timor's 
     political status.
       (2) On June 22, 1999, the ballot was rescheduled for August 
     21 or August 22 due to concerns that the conditions necessary 
     for a free and fair vote could not be established prior to 
     August 8.
       (3) On January 27, 1999, President Habibie expressed a 
     willingness to consider independence for East Timor if a 
     majority of the East Timorese reject autonomy in the August 
     ballot.
       (4) Under the May 5th agreement the Government of Indonesia 
     is responsible for ensuring that the August ballot is carried 
     out in a fair and peaceful way in an atmosphere free of 
     intimidation, violence or interference.
       (5) The inclusion of anti-independence militia members in 
     Indonesian forces responsible for establishing security in 
     East Timor violates the May 5th agreement which states that 
     the absolute neutrality of the military and police is 
     essential for holding a free and fair ballot.
       (6) The arming of anti-independence militias by members of 
     the Indonesian military

[[Page S7667]]

     for the purpose of sabotaging the August ballot has resulted 
     in hundreds of civilians killed, injured or disappeared in 
     separate attacks by these militias who continue to act 
     without restraint.
       (7) The United Nations Secretary General has received 
     credible reports of political violence, including 
     intimidation and killings, by armed anti-independence 
     militias against unarmed pro-independence civilians.
       (8) There have been killings of opponents of independence, 
     including civilians and militia members.
       (9) The killings in East Timor should be fully investigated 
     and the individuals responsible brought to justice.
       (10) Access to East Timor by international human rights 
     monitors and humanitarian organizations is limited, and 
     members of the press have been threatened.
       (11) The presence of members of the United Nations 
     Assistance Mission in East Timor has already resulted in an 
     improved security environment in the East Timorese capital of 
     Dili.
       (12) A robust international observer mission and police 
     force throughout East Timor is critical to creating a stable 
     and secure environment necessary for a free and fair ballot.
       (13) The Administration should be commended for its support 
     for the United Nations Assistance Mission in East Timor which 
     will provide monitoring and support for the ballot and 
     include international civilian police, military liaison 
     officers and election monitors.
       (b) Policy.--(1) The President, Secretary of State, 
     Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of the Treasury 
     (acting through the United States executive directors to 
     international financial institutions) should immediately 
     intensify their efforts to prevail upon the Indonesian 
     Government and military to--
       (A) disarm and disband anti-independence militias;
       (B) grant full access to East Timor by international human 
     rights monitors, humanitarian organizations, and the press;
       (C) allow Timorese who have been living in exile to return 
     to East Timor to participate in the ballot.
       (2) The President should submit a report to the Congress 
     not later than 21 days after passage of this Act, containing 
     a description of the Administration's efforts and his 
     assessment of steps taken by the Indonesian Government and 
     military to ensure a stable and secure environment in East 
     Timor, including those steps described in paragraph (1).

     SEC. 734. PROHIBITION ON THE RETURN OF VETERANS MEMORIAL 
                   OBJECTS TO FOREIGN NATIONS WITHOUT SPECIFIC 
                   AUTHORIZATION IN LAW.

       (a) Prohibition.--Notwithstanding section 2572 of title 10, 
     United States Code, or any other provision of law, the 
     President may not transfer a veterans memorial object to a 
     foreign country or entity controlled by a foreign government, 
     or otherwise transfer or convey such object to any person or 
     entity for purposes of the ultimate transfer or conveyance of 
     such object to a foreign country or entity controlled by a 
     foreign government, unless specifically authorized by law.
       (b) Definitions.--In this section:
       (1) Entity controlled by a foreign government.--The term

     given that term in section 2536(c)(1) of title 10, United 
     States Code.
       (2) Veterans memorial object.--The term ``veterans memorial 
     object'' means any object, including a physical structure or

       (C) was brought to the United States from abroad as a 
     memorial of combat abroad.

     SEC. 735. SUPPORT FOR THE PEACE PROCESS IN SUDAN.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the civil war in Sudan has continued unabated for 16 
     years and raged intermittently for 40 years;
       (2) an estimated 1,900,000 Sudanese people have died as a 
     result of war-related causes and famine;
       (3) an estimated 4,000,000 people are currently in need of 
     emergency food assistance in different areas of Sudan;
       (4) approximately 4,000,000 people are internally displaced 
     in Sudan;
       (5) the continuation of war has led to human rights abuses 
     by all parties to the conflict, including the killing of 
     civilians, slavery, rape, and torture on the part of 
     government forces and paramilitary forces; and
       (6) it is in the interest of all the people of Sudan for 
     the parties to the conflict to seek a negotiated settlement 
     of hostilities and the establishment of a lasting peace in 
     Sudan.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--(1) Congress--
       (A) acknowledges the renewed vigor in facilitating and 
     assisting the Inter-Governmental Authority for Development 
     (IGAD) peace process in Sudan; and
       (B) urges continued and sustained engagement by the 
     Department of State in the IGAD peace process and the IGAD 
     Partners' Forum.
       (2) It is the sense of Congress that the President should--
       (A) appoint a special envoy--
       (i) to serve as a point of contact for the Inter-
     Governmental Authority for Development peace process;
       (ii) to coordinate with the Inter-Governmental Authority 
     for Development Partners Forum as the Forum works to support 
     the peace process in Sudan; and
       (iii) to coordinate United States humanitarian assistance 
     to southern Sudan.
       (B) provide increased financial and technical support for 
     the IGAD Peace Process and especially the IGAD Secretariat in 
     Nairobi, Kenya; and
       (C) instruct the United States Permanent Representative to 
     the United Nations to call on the United Nations Secretary 
     General to consider the appointment of a special envoy for 
     Sudan.

     SEC. 736. EXPRESSING THE SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE 
                   TREATMENT OF RELIGIOUS MINORITIES IN THE 
                   ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN, AND PARTICULARLY THE 
                   RECENT ARRESTS OF MEMBERS OF THAT COUNTRY'S 
                   JEWISH COMMUNITY.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
       (1) ten percent of the citizens of the Islamic Republic of 
     Iran are members of religious minority groups;
       (2) according to the State Department and internationally 
     recognized human rights organizations, such as Human Rights 
     Watch and Amnesty International, religious minorities in the 
     Islamic Republic of Iran--including Sunni Muslims, Baha'is, 
     Christians, and Jews--have been the victims of human rights 
     violations solely because of their status as religious 
     minorities;
       (3) the 55th session of the United Nations Commission on 
     Human Rights passed Resolution 1999/13, which expresses the 
     concern of the international community over ``continued 
     discrimination against religious minorities'' in the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran, and calls on that country to moderate its 
     policy on religious minorities until they are ``completely 
     emancipated'';
       (4) more than half the Jews in Iran have been forced to 
     flee that country since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 
     because of religious persecution, and many of them now reside 
     in the United States;
       (5) the Iranian Jewish community, with a 2,500-year history 
     and currently numbering some 30,000 people, is the oldest 
     Jewish community living in the Diaspora;
       (6) five Jews have been executed by the Iranian government 
     in the past five years without having been tried;
       (7) there has been a noticeable increase recently in anti-
     Semitic propaganda in the government-controlled Iranian 
     press;
       (8) on the eve of the Jewish holiday of Passover 1999, 
     thirteen or more Jews, including community and religious 
     leaders in the city of Shiraz, were arrested by the 
     authorities of the Islamic Republic of Iran; and
       (9) in keeping with its dismal record on providing accused 
     prisoners with due process and fair treatment, the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran failed to charge the detained Jews with any 
     specific crime or allow visitation by relatives of the 
     detained for more than two months.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the United States should--
       (1) continue to work through the United Nations to assure 
     that the Islamic Republic of Iran implements the 
     recommendations of Resolution 1999/13;
       (2) condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the recent 
     arrest of members of Iran's Jewish minority and urge their 
     immediate release;
       (3) urge all nations having relations with the Islamic 
     Republic of Iran to condemn the treatment of religious 
     minorities in Iran and call for the release of all prisoners 
     held on the basis of their religious beliefs; and
       (4) maintain the current United States policy toward the 
     Islamic Republic of Iran unless and until that country 
     moderates its treatment of religious minorities.

     SEC. 737. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER PLO COMMITMENTS 
                   COMPLIANCE ACT OF 1989.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 (title VIII 
     of Public Law 101-246) requires the President to submit 
     reports to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and 
     the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate every 180 days, on Palestinian compliance with the 
     Geneva commitments of 1988, the commitments contained in the 
     letter of September 9, 1993 to the Prime Minister of Israel, 
     and the letter of September 9, 1993 to the Foreign Minister 
     of Norway.
       (2) The reporting requirements of the PLO Commitments 
     Compliance Act of 1989 have remained in force from enactment 
     until the present.
       (3) Modification and amendment to the PLO Commitments 
     Compliance Act of 1989, and the expiration of the Middle East 
     Peace Facilitation Act (Public Law 104-107) did not alter the 
     reporting requirements.
       (4) According to the official records of the Committee on 
     Foreign Relations of the Senate, the last report under the 
     PLO Commitments Compliance Act of 1989 was submitted and 
     received on December 27, 1997.
       (b) Reporting Requirements.--The PLO Commitments Compliance 
     Act of 1989 is amended --
       (1) in section 804(b), by striking ``In conjunction with 
     each written policy justification required under section 
     604(b)(1) of the Middle East Peace Facilitation Act of 1995 
     or every'' and inserting ``Every'';
       (2) in section 804(b)--
       (A) by striking ``and'' at the end of paragraph (9);

[[Page S7668]]

       (B) by striking the period at the end of paragraph (10); 
     and
       (C) by adding at the end the following new paragraphs:
       ``(11) a statement on the effectiveness of end-use 
     monitoring of international or United States aid being 
     provided to the Palestinian Authority, Palestinian Liberation 
     Organization, or the Palestinian Legislative Council, or to 
     any other agent or instrumentality of the Palestinian 
     Authority, on Palestinian efforts to comply with 
     international accounting standards and on enforcement of 
     anti-corruption measures; and
       ``(12) a statement on compliance by the Palestinian 
     Authority with the democratic reforms, with specific details 
     regarding the separation of powers called for between the 
     executive and Legislative Council, the status of legislation 
     passed by the Legislative Council and sent to the executive, 
     the support of the executive for local and municipal 
     elections, the status of freedom of the press, and of the 
     ability of the press to broadcast debate from within the 
     Legislative Council and about the activities of the 
     Legislative Council.''.

     SEC. 739. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING CHILD LABOR.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) The International Labor Organization (in this 
     resolution referred to as the ``ILO'') estimates that at 
     least 250,000,000 children under the age of 15 are working 
     around the world, many of them in dangerous jobs that prevent 
     them from pursuing an education and damage their physical and 
     moral well-being.
       (2) Children are the most vulnerable element of society and 
     are often abused physically and mentally in the work place.
       (3) Making children work endangers their education, health, 
     and normal development.
       (4) UNICEF estimates that by the year 2000, over 
     1,000,000,000 adults will be unable to read or write on even 
     a basic level because they had to work as children and were 
     not educated.
       (5) Nearly 41 percent of the children in Africa, 22 percent 
     in Asia, and 17 percent in Latin America go to work without 
     ever having seen the inside of a classroom.
       (6) The President, in his State of the Union address, 
     called abusive child labor ``the most intolerable labor 
     practice of all,'' and called upon other countries to join in 
     the fight against abusive and exploitative child labor.
       (7) The Department of Labor has conducted 5 detailed 
     studies that document the growing trend of child labor in the 
     global economy, including a study that shows children as 
     young as 4 are making assorted products that are traded in 
     the global marketplace.
       (8) The prevalence of child labor in many developing 
     countries is rooted in widespread poverty that is 
     attributable to unemployment and underemployment among 
     adults, low living standards, and insufficient education and 
     training opportunities among adult workers and children.
       (9) The ILO has unanimously reported a new Convention on 
     the Worst Forms of Child Labor.
       (10) The United States negotiators played a leading role in 
     the negotiations leading up to the successful conclusion of 
     the new ILO Convention on the Worst Forms of Child Labor.
       (11) On September 23, 1993, the United States Senate 
     unanimously adopted a resolution stating its opposition to 
     the importation of products made by abusive and exploitative 
     child labor and the exploitation of children for commercial 
     gain.
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) abusive and exploitative child labor should not be 
     tolerated anywhere it occurs;
       (2) ILO member States should be commended for their efforts 
     in negotiating this historic convention;
       (3) it should be the policy of the United States to 
     continue to work with all foreign nations and international 
     organizations to promote an end to abusive and exploitative 
     child labor; and
       (4) the Senate looks forward to the prompt submission by 
     the President of the new ILO Convention on the Worst Forms of 
     Child Labor.

     SEC. 740. REPORTING REQUIREMENT ON WORLDWIDE CIRCULATION OF 
                   SMALL ARMS AND LIGHT WEAPONS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) In numerous regional conflicts, the presence of vast 
     numbers of small arms and light weapons has prolonged and 
     exacerbated conflict and frustrated attempts by the 
     international community to secure lasting peace. The sheer 
     volume of available weaponry has been a major factor in the 
     devastation witnessed in recent conflicts in Angola, 
     Cambodia, Liberia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Somalia, 
     Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan, among others, and has contributed 
     to the violence endemic to narcotrafficking in Colombia and 
     Mexico.
       (2) Increased access by terrorists, guerrilla groups, 
     criminals, and others to small arms and light weapons poses a 
     real threat to United States participants in peacekeeping 
     operations and United States forces based overseas, as well 
     as to United States citizens traveling overseas.
       (3) In accordance with the reorganization of the Department 
     of State made by the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring 
     Act of 1998, effective March 28, 1999, all functions and 
     authorities of the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency were

       ``(1) In general.--Subject to paragraph (2), not later than

     report to the Committees on the Judiciary of the Senate and 
     the House of Representatives on the feasibility of developing 
     and implementing an automated entry-exit control system that 
     would collect a record of departure for every alien departing 
     the United States and match the record of departure with the 
     record of the alien's arrival in the United States, including 
     departures and arrivals at the land borders and seaports of 
     the United States.
       (b) Contents of Report.--Such report shall--

     operating such an automated entry-exit control system, 
     including exploring--

       (B) the feasibility of the Attorney General, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, negotiating 
     reciprocal agreements with the governments of contiguous

     including the use of pilot projects if appropriate, and 
     assess which means would be most appropriate in which 
     geographical regions;
       (3) evaluate how such a system could be implemented without 
     increasing border traffic congestion and border crossing 
     delays and, if any such system would increase border crossing 
     delays, evaluate to what extent such congestion or delays 
     would increase; and

     any such system to be developed and implemented.

     year, the Attorney General shall submit to the Committees on 
     the Judiciary of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
     a report that sets forth--
       (1) the number of arrival records of aliens and the number 
     of departure records of aliens that were collected during the

     period of stay, with an accounting by country of nationality 
     and approximate date of arrival in the United States.
       (c) Incorporation Into Other Databases.--Information 
     regarding aliens who have remained in the United States 
     beyond their authorized period of stay that is identified 
     through the system referred to in subsection (a) shall be

     SEC. 827. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING ICTR.

       (a) Findings.--The Congress finds as follows:
       (1) The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) 
     was established to prosecute individuals responsible for 
     genocide and other serious violations of international 
     humanitarian law committed in the territory of Rwanda.
       (2) A separate tribunal, the International Criminal 
     Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), was created with a 
     similar purpose for crimes committed in the territory of the 
     former Yugoslavia.
       (3) The acts of genocide and crimes against humanity that 
     have been perpetrated against civilians in the Great Lakes 
     region of Africa equal in horror the acts committed in the 
     territory of the former Yugoslavia.
       (4) The ICTR has succeeded in issuing at least 28 
     indictments against 48 individuals, and currently has in 
     custody 38 individuals presumed to have led and directed the 
     1994 genocide.
       (5) The ICTR issued the first conviction ever by an 
     international court for the crime of genocide against Jean-
     Paul Akayesu, the former mayor of Taba, who was sentenced to 
     life in prison.
       (6) The mandate of the ICTR is limited to acts committed 
     only during calendar year 1994, yet the mandate of the ICTY 
     covers serious violations of international humanitarian law 
     since 1991 through the present.
       (7) There have been well substantiated allegations of major 
     crimes against humanity and war crimes that have taken place 
     in the Great Lakes region of Africa that fall outside of the 
     current mandate of the Tribunal

[[Page S7673]]

     in terms of either the dates when, or geographical areas 
     where, such crimes took place.
       (8) The attention accorded the ICTY and the indictments 
     that have been made as a result of the ICTY's broad mandate 
     continue to play an important role in current United States 
     policy in the Balkans.
       (9) The international community must send an unmistakable 
     signal that genocide and other crimes against humanity cannot 
     be committed with impunity.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress 
     that the President should instruct the United States United 
     Nations Representative to advocate to the Security Council to 
     direct the Office for Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) to 
     reevaluate the conduct and operation of the ICTR. 
     Particularly, the OIOS should assess the progress made by the 
     Tribunal in implementing the recommendations of the Report of 
     the United Nations Secretary-General on the Activities of the 
     Office of Internal Oversight Services, A/52/784, of February 
     6, 1998. The OIOS should also include an evaluation of the 
     potential impact of expanding the original mandate of the 
     ICTR.
       (c) Report.--Ninety days after enactment of this Act, the 
     Secretary of State shall report to Congress on the 
     effectiveness and progress of the ICTR. The report shall 
     include an assessment of the ICTR's ability to meet its 
     current mandate and an evaluation of the potential impact of 
     expanding that mandate to include crimes committed after 
     calendar year 1994.
