     section.
       (3) Exclusion.--During any year in which an owner receives

 SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MEMBERSHIP OF ISRAEL IN THE WESTERN EUROPEAN AND 
                   OTHERS GROUP AT THE UNITED NATIONS

       Sec. 6047. (a) Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The election of member states of the United Nations to 
     the major bodies of the United Nations is determined by 
     groups organized within the United Nations, most of which are 
     organized on a regional basis.
       (2) Israel has been refused admission to the group 
     comprised of member states from the Asian geographical region 
     of the United Nations and is the only member state of the 
     United Nations that remains outside its appropriate 
     geographical region, and is thus denied full participation in 
     the day-to-day work of the United Nations.
       (3) On May 30, 2000, Israel accepted an invitation to 
     become a temporary member of the Western European and Others 
     Group of the United Nations.
       (4) On May 21, 2004, Israel's membership to the Western 
     European and Others Group was extended indefinitely.
       (5) Israel is only allowed to participate in limited 
     activities of the Western European and Others Group in the 
     New York office of the United Nations, is excluded from 
     discussions and consultations of the Group at the United 
     Nations offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Rome, and Vienna, and, 
     may not participate in United Nations conferences on human 
     rights, racism, or other issues held in such locations.
       (6) Membership in the Western European and Others Group 
     includes the non-European countries of Canada, Australia, and 
     the United States.
       (7) Israel is linked to the member states of the Western 
     European and Others Group by strong economic, political, and 
     cultural ties.
       (8) The Western European and Others Group, the only 
     regional group of the United Nations that is not purely 
     geographical, is comprised of countries that share a western 
     democratic tradition.
       (9) Israel is a free and democratic country and its voting 
     pattern in the United Nations is consistent with that of the 
     member states of the Western European and Others Group.
       (b) It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the President should direct the United States Permanent 
     Representative to the United Nations to seek an immediate end 
     to the persistent and deplorable inequality experienced by 
     Israel in the United Nations;
       (2) Israel should be afforded the benefits of full 
     membership in the Western European and Others Group at the 
     United Nations and such membership would permit Israel to 
     participate fully in the United Nations system and would 
     serve the interests of the United States; and
       (3) the Secretary should submit to Congress, on a regular 
     basis, a report that describes actions taken by the United 
     States Government to encourage the member states of the 
     Western European and Others Group to accept Israel as a full 
     member of such Group and the responses of such member states 
     to those actions.

                      PROTECTION OF THE GALAPAGOS

       Sec.   . (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings--
       (1) The Galapagos Islands are a global treasure and World 
     Heritage Site, and the future of the Galapagos is in the 
     hands of the Government of Ecuador;
       (2) The world depends on the Government of Ecuador to 
     implement the necessary policies and programs to ensure the 
     long term protection of the biodiversity of the Galapagos, 
     including enforcing the Galapagos Special Law;
       (3) There are concerns with the current leadership of the 
     Galapagos National Park Service and that the biodiversity of 
     the Galapagos and the Marine Reserve are not being properly 
     managed or adequately protected; and
       (4) The Government of Ecuador has reportedly given 
     preliminary approval for commercial airplane flights to the 
     Island of Isabela, which may cause irreparable harm to the 
     biodiversity of the Galapagos, and has allowed the export of 
     fins from sharks caught accidentally in the Marine Reserve, 
     which encourages illegal fishing.
       (b) Whereas, now therefore, be it
       Resolved, That--
       (1) the Senate strongly encourages the Government of 
     Ecuador to--
       (A) refrain from taking any action that could cause harm to 
     the biodiversity of the Galapagos or encourage illegal 
     fishing in the Marine Reserve;
       (B) abide by the agreement to select the Directorship of 
     the Galapagos National Park Service though a transparent 
     process based on merit as previously agreed by the Government 
     of Ecuador, international donors, and nongovernmental 
     organizations; and
       (C) enforce the Galapagos Special Law in its entirety, 
     including the governance structure defined by the law to 
     ensure effective control of migration to the Galapagos and 
     sustainable fishing practices, and prohibit long-line fishing 
     which threatens the survival of shark and marine turtle 
     populations.
       (2) The Department of State should--
       (A) emphasize to the Government of Ecuador the importance 
     the United States gives to these issues; and
       (B) offer assistance to implement the necessary policies 
     and programs to ensure the long term protection of the 
     biodiversity of the Galapagos and the Marine Reserve and to 
     sustain the livelihoods of the Galapagos population who 
     depend on the marine ecosystem for survival.

                                 nepal

       Sec. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings--
       That, on February 1, 2005, Nepal's King Gyanendra dissolved 
     the multi-party government, suspended constitutional 
     liberties, and arrested political party leaders, human rights 
     activists and representatives of civil society organizations.
       That, despite condemnation of the King's actions and the 
     suspension of military aid to Nepal by India and Great 
     Britain, and similar steps by the United States, the King has 
     refused to restore constitutional liberties and democracy.
       That, there are concerns that the King's actions will 
     strengthen Nepal's Maoist Insurgency.
       That, while some political leaders have been released from 
     custody, there have been new arrests of human rights 
     activists and representatives of other civil society 
     organizations.
       That, the King has thwarted efforts of members of the 
     National Human Rights Commission to conduct monitoring 
     activities, but recently agreed to permit the United Nations 
     High Commissioner for Human Rights to open an office in 
     Katmandu to monitor and investigate violations.
       That, the Maoists have committed atrocities agamst 
     civilians and poses a threat to democracy in Nepal.
       That, the Nepalese Army has also committed gross violations 
     of human rights.
       That, King Gyanendra has said that he intends to pursue a 
     military strategy against the Maoists.
       That, Nepal needs an effective military strategy to counter 
     the Maoists and pressure ry them to negotiate an end to the 
     conflict, but such a strategy must include the Nepalese 
     Anny's respect for the human rights and dignity of the 
     Nepalese people.
       That, an effective strategy to counter the Maoists also 
     requires a political process that is inclusive and democratic 
     in which constitutional rights are protected, and government 
     policies that improve the lives of the Nepalese people.
       (b) Now therefore, be it
       Resolved, that it is the Sense of the Senate that King 
     Gyanendra should immediately release all political detainees, 
     restore constitutional liberties, and undertake good faith 
     negotiations with the leaders of Nepal's political parties to 
     restore democracy.

     SEC. 712. SMALL BUSINESS CONTRACTING IN OVERSEAS 
                   PROCUREMENTS.

       (a) Congressional Findings and Reaffirmation of Existing 
     Policy.--
       (1) Findings.--Congress finds that--
       (A) small business contracting in support of overseas 
     activities of the Federal Government strengthens the trade 
     posture of the United States in the global marketplace;
       (B) small business contractors are a vital component of the 
     civilian and defense industrial base, and they have provided 
     outstanding value in support of the activities of the Federal 
     Government domestically and internationally, especially in 
     the international reconstruction, stabilization, and 
     assistance activities in the Global War on Terror;
       (C) maintaining a vital small business industrial base 
     protects the Federal Government from higher costs and reduced 
     innovation that accompany undue consolidation of Government 
     contracts;
       (D) Congress has a strong interest in preserving the 
     competitive nature of the Government contracting marketplace, 
     particularly with regard to performance of Federal contracts 
     and subcontracts overseas;
       (E) small business contractors suffer competitive harm and 
     the Federal Government suffers a needless reduction in 
     competition and a needless shrinkage of its industrial base 
     when Federal agencies exempt contracts and subcontracts 
     awarded for performance overseas from the application of the 
     Small Business Act;
       (F) small businesses desiring to support the troops 
     deployed in the Global War on Terror and the reconstruction 
     of Iraq and Afghanistan have faced needless hurdles to 
     meaningful participation in Government contracts and 
     subcontracts; and
       (G) Congress has a strong interest in holding large prime 
     contractors accountable for fulfilling their subcontracting 
     plans on overseas assistance and reconstruction projects.
       (2) Reaffirmation of policy.--In light of the findings in 
     subparagraph (A), Congress reaffirms its policy contained in 
     sections 2 and 15 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631, 
     644) and section 302 of the Small Business Economic Policy 
     Act of 1980 (15 U.S.C. 631a) to promote international 
     competitiveness of United States small businesses and to 
     ensure that small business concerns are awarded a fair 
     portion of all Federal prime contracts, and subcontracts, 
     regardless of geographic area.
       (b) Compliance.--Not later than 270 days after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the head of each Federal agency, 
     office, and department having jurisdiction over acquisition 
     regulations shall conduct regulatory reviews to ensure that 
     such regulations require compliance with the Small Business 
     Act in Federal prime contracts and subcontracts, regardless 
     of the geographic place of award or performance, and shall 
     promulgate any necessary conforming changes to such 
     regulations.
       (c) Cooperation With the Small Business Administration.--
     The Administrator and the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the 
     Small Business Administration shall be consulted for 
     recommendations concerning regulatory reviews and changes 
     required by this section.
       (d) Conflicting Provisions of Law.--In conducting any 
     regulatory review or promulgating any changes required by 
     this section, due note and recognition shall be given to the 
     specific requirements and procedures of any other Federal 
     statute or treaty which may exempt any Federal prime contract 
     or subcontract from the application of the Small Business Act 
     in whole or in part.
       (e) Report to Congressional Committees.--Not later than 1 
     year after the date of enactment of this Act, the 
     Administrator and the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the Small 
     Business Administration shall submit to the Committee on 
     Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate and to the 
     Committee on Small Business of the House of Representatives a 
     report containing their views on the compliance status of 
     Federal agencies, offices, and departments in carrying out 
     this section.
