     death of Jamal Khashoggi;

       (2) the United States and Saudi Arabia have traditionally 
     shared an important strategic partnership, which includes 
     joint efforts--
       (A) to combat terrorism;
       (B) to ensure regional stability; and
       (C) to address other common challenges;
       (3) the strategic partnership between the United States and

       (B) respect for human rights and the rule of law; and
       (4) any decision by the Government of Saudi Arabia to 
     pursue civilian nuclear cooperation with the Russian 
     Federation or the People's Republic of China, or without 
     signing a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with the 
     United States, would--
       (A) harm efforts to promote nuclear nonproliferation; and
       (B) seriously undermine the strategic partnership between 
     the United States and Saudi Arabia.

     SEC. 1293. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

     implement the Additional Protocol with the International 
     Atomic Energy Agency as part of a civilian nuclear 
     cooperation agreement with the United States;
       (3) to oppose, through the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the 
     sale of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia until the 
     Government of Saudi Arabia has renounced uranium enrichment 
     and reprocessing on its territory as part of a civilian 
     nuclear cooperation agreement with the United States; and
       (4) to seek modification of the guidelines of the Nuclear 
     Suppliers Group relating to the transfer of nuclear 
     technology, as applied with respect to Saudi Arabia, until 
     Saudi Arabia has renounced enrichment and reprocessing on its 
     territory.
