     SEC. 3314. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE SELECTION OF HOST CITIES 
                   FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES.

       It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the International Olympic Committee should never 
     entertain a proposal to host the Olympic Games from a nation 
     that engages in genocide, crimes against humanity, or serious 
     violations of internationally recognized human rights; and
     (2) if the International Olympic Committee awards the honor 
     of hosting the Olympic Games to a nation after the date of 
     enactment of this Act and that nation subsequently engages in 
     genocide, crimes against humanity, or serious violations of 
     internationally recognized human rights, the International 
     Olympic Committee should meet and reassign the honor of 
     hosting the Olympic Games to another nation.
