  Mr. GRASSLEY (for Mr. Levin) proposed an amendment to the resolution 
(S. Res. 208) expressing the sense of the Senate regarding United 
States policy toward the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the 
European Union, in light of the Alliance's April 1999 Washington Summit 
and the European Union's June 1999 Cologne Summit; as follows:

       In section 1(b), strike paragraph (1) and insert the 
     following:
       (1) on matters of trans-Atlantic concern, the European 
     Union should make clear that it would undertake an autonomous 
     mission through the European Security and Defense Identity 
     only after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization had 
     declined to undertake that mission;
       In section 1(b)(5), strike ``must'' and insert ``should''.
