   SUMMARY OF AMENDMENTS MADE IN ORDER BY THE RULE TO THE CHINA BILLS

(All amendments considered as adopted by the rule, except where debate 
                          time is specified.)

Amendments to H.R. 2358

    6. Abercrombie: Directs national and international 
attention to the need for political reform and respect for 
human rights in the People's Republic of China as exemplified 
by the plight of Tibetan prisoners being held in detention.
    7. Porter/Dreier/Matsui: Revised. Adds the following the 
H.R. 2358: increases funding for the National Endowment for 
Democracy for projects which promote democracy in China; 
provides for additional reporting on human rights conditions, 
political prisoners, prisoners of conscience and prisoners of 
faith in China; and statements of Congressional Support for 
democracy in Hong Kong and for efforts to create a Commission 
Security and Cooperation in Asia.
    1. Smith, Linda (WA): Sense of Congress that the PRC should 
stop harvesting and transplanting organs from prisoners; that 
any officials with the Chinese government actively involved 
should be barred from entering the U.S.; and appropriate 
actions should be taken against any individuals in the U.S. 
involved.
    17. Gilman: Technical change to add Kathmandu to the list 
of posts for additional human rights monitors.
    15. Gilman/Markey--30 mins.: Extends the Congressional 
Review period for licensing of nuclear exports to China from 30 
to 120 days and provides for expedited procedures for 
consideration of a joint resolution of disapproval for any 
licensing agreement.

Amendments to H. Res. 188

    9. Porter/Dreier/Matsui: Revised. Adds a clause which 
recommends that persons who are materially involved in the 
proliferation of nuclear or conventional weapons should not be 
issued visas for travel to the U.S.
    12. Harman: Strengthens H. Res. 188 by addressing the 
acquisition of long-range ballistic missiles, which, because of 
their longer range, present a threat of even greater scope than 
cruise missiles.

Amendments to H.R. 2570

    10. Hamilton: Carves out an exception for the head of 
state, the head of government, and cabinet level ministers, and 
inserts a ``national interest'' Presidential waiver. This 
language is substantially the same as language adopted by 
committee to H.R. 967 which would prohibit the use of United 
States funds to provide for the participation of certain 
Chinese officials in international conferences, programs, and 
activities and provide that certain Chinese officials shall be 
ineligible go receive visas and excluded from admission to the 
United States.

Amendments to H.R. 2386

    2. Deutch: Clarifies the future status of Taiwan by 
pointing out that no agreements exist between the PRC and 
Taiwan which determines the future status of Taiwan and that 
Taiwan's future should be determined by peaceful, democratic 
means. The amendment also expresses that the will of the U.S. 
will assist in the defense of Taiwan in case of threats or 
military attack by the PRC.
    16. Frost/Hunter: Technical modification clarifying the 
existing missile defense capabilities of Taiwan.

Amendments to H.R. 2605

    8. Porter/Dreier/Matsui: Creates a voluntary set of 
principles which promote good corporate citizenship by American 
companies operating in China. Companies adopting the code will 
be given preference for participation in trade missions to 
China.
    18. Porter/Dreier/Matsui: Allows agencies of the U.S. 
government to initiate or expand educational, cultural, 
scientific, agricultural, military, legal, political and 
artistic exchanges between the U.S. and China.

  (a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this section to create 
principles governing the conduct of industrial cooperation 
projects of United States nationals in the People's Republic of 
China.
  (b) Statement of Principles.--It is the sense of the Congress 
that any United States national conducting an industrial 
cooperation project in the People's Republic of China should:
          (1) Suspend the use of any goods, wares, articles, or 
        merchandise that the United States national has reason 
        to believe were mined, produced, or manufactured, in 
        whole or in part, by convict labor or forced labor, and 
        refuse to use forced labor in the industrial 
        cooperation project.
          (2) Seek to ensure that political or religious views, 
        sex, ethnic or national background, involvement in 
        political activities or nonviolent demonstrations, or 
        association with suspected or known dissidents will not 
        prohibit hiring, lead to harassment, demotion, or 
        dismissal, or in any way affect the status or terms of 
        employment in the industrial cooperation project. The 
        United States national should not discriminate in terms 
        or conditions of employment in the industrial 
        cooperation project against persons with past records 
        of arrest or internal exile for nonviolent protest or 
        membership in unofficial organizations committed to 
        nonviolence.
          (3) Ensure that methods of production used in the 
        industrial cooperation project do not pose an 
        unnecessary physical danger to workers and neighboring 
        populations or property, and that the industrial 
        cooperation project does not unnecessarily risk harm to 
        the surrounding environment; and consult with community 
        leaders regarding environmental protection with respect 
        to the industrial cooperation project.

        premises of any industrial cooperation projects which 
        involve dual-use technologies.
          (6) Undertake to promote freedom of association and 
        assembly among the employees of the United States
