lem arising from diplomatic immunity from
criminal prosecution and from civil suit.
The report shall set forth the background of
the various issues arising from the problem,
the extent of the problem, an analysis of pro-
posed and other potential measures to ad-
dress the problem (including an analysis of
the costs associated with and difficulties of
implementing the various proposals), con-
sider the potential and likely impact upon
United States diplomatic personnel of ac-
tions in other nations that are comparable
to such proposals, and make recommenda-
tions for addressing the problem with re-
spect to the following:
(1) The collection of debts owed by foreign
missions and members of such missions and
their families to individuals and entities in
the United States.
(2) A detailed catalog of incidents of seri-
ous criminal offenses by persons entitled to
immunity under the Vienna Convention on
Diplomatic Relations and other treaties to
assist in developing an understanding of the
extent of the problem.
(3) The feasibility of having the Depart-
ment of State develop and periodically
submit to the Congress a report concern-
ing-
(A) serious criminal offenses committed in
the United States by individuals entitled to
immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of
the United States; and
(B) delinquency in the payment of debts
owed by foreign missions and members of
such missions and their families to individ-
uals and entities in the United States.
(4) Methods for improving the education
of law enforcement officials on the extent of
immunity provided to members of foreign
missions and their families under the
Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Rela-
tions and other treaties.
(5) Proposals to assure that law enforce-
ment officials fully investigate, charge, and
institute and maintain prosecution of mem-
bers of foreign missions and their families
to the extent consistent with the obligations
of the United States under the Vienna Con-
vention on Diplomatic Relations and other
treaties.
(6) The extent to which existing practices
regarding the circumstances under which
diplomatic visas under section 101(a)(15)(A)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act are
issued and revoked are adequate to ensure
the integrity of the diplomatic visa category.
(7) The extent to which current registra-
tion and documentation requirements fully
and accurately identify individuals entitled
to diplomatic immunity.
(8) The extent to which the Department of
State is able to identify diplomats allegedly
involved in serious crimes in the United
States so as to initiate their removal from
the United States and the extent to which
existing law may be inadequate to prevent
the subsequent readmission of such individ-
uals under nonimmigrant and immigrant
categories unrelated to section 101(a)(15)(A)
of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
(9) A comparison of the procedures for the
issuance of visas to diplomats from foreign
nations to the United States and interna-
tional organizations with the procedures ac-
corded to United States diplomats to such

so as to compromise the security of United
States operations, thus rendering the prem-
ises unuseabie for the primary purpose in-
tended under those agreements;

gence and the Director of the Federal

ted and obtaining travel services through

sions for travel elsewhere, and does not in-

SEC. 163. COUNTERINTELLIGENCE POLYGRAPH
SCREENING OF DIPLOMATIC SECURITY
SERVICE PERSONNEL .
(a) IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAM.-Under
the regulations issued pursuant to subsec-
tion (b), the Secretary of State shall imple-
ment a program of counterintelligence poly-
graph examinations for members of the Dip-
lomatic Security Service (estL.blished pursu-
ant to title II of the Diplomatic Security
Act) during fiscal years 1988 and 1989.

SEC. 164. UNITED STATES EMBASSY IN HUNGARY.
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the full implementation of the security
program of a United States diplomatic mis-
sion to a Communist country cannot be ac-
complished if employees of that mission who
are citizens of the host country are present
in the same facilities where diplomatic and
consular activities of a sensitive nature are
performed;
(2) the facilities currently housing the of-
fices of the United States diplomatic mis-
sion to Hungary are totally inadequate for
the proper conduct of United States diplo-
matic activities, and unnecessarily expose
United States personnel and their activities
to the scrutiny of the intelligence services of
the Government of Hungary;
(3) the presence of local citizens in a facil-
ity where sensitive activities are performed,
as well as their access to certain unclassi-
fied administrative information, greatly en-
hances the ability of the host government's
intelligence services to restrict our diplo-
matic activities in that country;
(4) since the United States Government
owns a substantial amount of property in
Budapest, it is in a unique position to build
new facilities which will substantially en-
hance the security of the United States dip-
lomatic mission to Hungary; and
(5) units such as the Navy Construction
Battalion are uniquely qualified to con-
struct such facilities in an eastern bloc
country.
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.-It is the sense of
the Congress that-
(1) the Department of State should proceed
in a timely fashion to negotiate an agree-
ment with the Government of Hungary to
allow for the construction of new chancery
facilities in Budapest which would totally
segregate sensitive activities from those of
an unclassified and public-oriented charac-
ter; and
(2) any such agreement should ensure that
the United States Government will have the
right to employ only American construction
personnel and materials and will have com-
plete control over access to the chancery site
from the inception of construction.

RES.

the 42 percent of the Department's employ-
ees who are employed under the Civil Serv-
ice personnel system;
(2) the contribution of these Civil Service
employees has been overlooked in the man-
agement of the Department and greater
equality of promotion, training, and career
enhancement opportunities should be ac-
corded to the Civil Service employees of the

gram of the Voice of America require the as-
surance of uninterrupted logistic support

United States contractors bidding on the
projects of this program.

treated as a responsive bid for purposes of
the facilities modernization program of the
Voice of America unless the.bidder can es-

sulting contract will not be less than 55 per-
cent of the value of his proposal and the re-
sulting total contract.

struction projects and projects with respect

position of United States persons who also
bid on the project,' or

prohibit the use of United States contractors
on such projects within that country.

(4) On May 5, 1987, the Secretary-General
reported to the Department of State that he
was considering granting 156 exceptions to
the hiring freeze.
(5) Of these 156 probable exceptions, 104
would be Soviet and Soviet-bloc nationals
currently employed in the United Nations
Secretariat-of 298 Soviet and Soviet-bloc
nationals currently employed in the United
Nations Secretariat-who would be replaced
over the next 18 months.
(6) According to a report from the Select
Committee on Intelligence of the Senate on
"Soviet Presence in the United Nations Sec-
retariat" (Senate Print 99-52, May 1985),
approximately one-fourth of the Soviets in
the United Nations Secretariat are intelli-
gence officers, many more are co-opted by
the Soviet intelligence agencies, and all So-
viets in the United Nations Secretariat must
respond to KGB requests for assistance.
(7) Other United States intelligence au-
thorities estimate that as many as one-half
of the Soviet and Soviet-bloc nationals in
the United Nations Secretariat are officers
of the KGB or the GR U.
(8) If the Secretary-General's probable ex-
emptions are adopted, the Soviet Union will
be allowed to replace retiring Soviet and
Soviet-bloc personnel with new, highly
skilled and well-trained intelligence officers
of the KGB or the GR U.
(9) The Secretary-General's proposed ex-
ceptions would thus provide the Soviet
Union with the capability to rebuild its in-
telligence apparatus within the United
States, which was devastated in recent years
when the United States ordered severe reduc-
tions in the size of the Soviet mission to the
United Nations, the Soviet Embassy in
Washington, District of Columbia, and the
Soviet Consulate in San Francisco, Califor-
nia.
(10) Article 100 of the United Nations
Charter calls for the establishment of an
international civil service whose members
are neutral and loyal only to the United Na-
tions.
(11) Section 3 of Article 101 of the United
Nations Charter calls for the appointment of
individuals who are professionally qualified
for the positions they are to fill and main-
tains that due regard shall be paid to the im-
portance of recruiting the staff on as wide a
geographical basis as possible.
(12) As of September 1985, 442 of 446
Soviet nationals employed throughout the
United Nations system are "seconded", that
is, serve on short, fixed-term contracts.
(13) Through the abuse of short, fixed-term
contracts, the Soviet Union has maintained
undue influence and control over major of-
fices of the United Nations Secretariat,
thereby effectively using the United Nations
Secretariat in the conduct of its foreign rela-
tions, in clear violation of Articles 100 and
101 of the United Nations Charter.
(14) The Secretary-General's proposed ex-
ceptions to the hiring freeze (as described in
paragraphs (1) through (5)) would continue
the gross violations of Articles 100 and 101
of the United Nations Charter described in
paragraph (13).
(15) The Secretary-General's proposed ex-
ceptions to such hiring freeze would be
clearly inconsistent with the terms of the
United Nation's self-imposed reform pro-
gram.
(16) The United Nations has not yet
achieved its reform goals and there is no in-
dication that the United Nations can afford
to make such large exceptions to such hiring
freeze.
(b) REPORT To CoNGREss.-(1) The Secre-
tary of State shall report to the Congress not
later than 90 days after the date of enact-
ment of this Act and annually thereafter as
to the status of secondment within the
United Nations by the Soviet Union and
Soviet-bloc member-nations.
(2) Such report shall contain as a mini-
mum, a thorough analysis of the following
issues:
(A) The number of Soviet and Soviet-bloc
nationals who are currently seconded to the
United Nations system on short, fixed-term
contracts in New York, Geneva, Vienna, and
Nairobi, and the percentage such number is
to the total number of Soviet and Soviet-bloc
nationals so seconded.
(B) The number of Soviet and Soviet-bloc
nationals who are currently employed in the
United States system on long-term con-
tracts.
(C) The measures undertaken by the
United States to persuade the United Na-
tions Secretariat to enforce the provisions of
the United Nations Charter which specifi-
cally govern the behavior and activities of
United Nations employees, especially Arti-
cles 100 and 101.
(D) The measures undertaken by the
United States either through bilateral or
multilateral channels with the Soviet Union
and other members of the Soviet-bloc to end
their abuse of secondment.
(E) The measures undertaken by the
United States to challenge Soviet and
Soviet-bloc nationals' credentials and to
deny them entry visas, in order to keep
Soviet and Soviet-bloc intelligence opera-
tives out of the United States and United
Nations.
(F) The counterintelligence efforts under-
taken by the United States to protect United
States national security from hostile intelli-
gence activities directed against the United
States by Soviet and Soviet-bloc intelligence
operatives employed by the United Nations.
(C) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.-It is the sense
of the Congress that-
(1) the President should take all such ac-
tions necessary to ensure compliance with
the hiring freeze rule, including withholding
all assessed United States contributions to
the United Nations, and denying United
States entry visas to Soviet and Soviet-bloc
applicants coming to the United States to
replace Soviet and Soviet-bloc nationals
currently serving in the United Nations Sec-
retariat;
(2) the President, through the Department
of State and the United States mission to
the United Nations, should express to the
Secretary-General of the United Nations the
insistence of the American people that the
hiring freeze continue indefinitely, or until
the United Nations has complied with the
Group of 18 recommendations and can thus
afford to make exceptions to the freeze;
(3) the Secretary-General should revoke all
exceptions to the hiring freeze rule, except-
ing those member-nations which have 15 or
fewer nationals serving in the United Na-
tions Secretariat, or those positions not sub-
ject to geographical representation, such as
those of the general service category;
(4) the long-term, flagrant violations ofAr-
tieles 100 and 101 of the United Nations
Charter and the abuse of secondment by the
Soviet Union and Soviet-bloc member-na-
tions are reprehensible;
(5) the United Nations should adopt the
recommendations of the Group of 18 (as re-
ferred to in subsection (a)(3)) that no
member-nation be allowed to have more
than 50 percent of its nationals employed
under fixed-terra contracts;
(6) the Soviet Union is hereby condemned
for-
(A) its refusal to adhere to the principles
of the United Nations Charter calling for an
international civil service,
(B) its abuse of secondment, and
(C) its absolute disregard of the solemn
purpose of the United Nations to be an
international civil service; and
(7) if the Soviet Union and the Soviet-bloc
intend to remain member-nations of the
United Nations, they should adhere to Arti-
cles 100, 101, and all other principles of the
United Nations Charter to which every other
member-nation must adhere.
(dl DEFiNITIoN.-For the purposes of this
section. the term "Soviet-bloc" means the
countries of Bulgaria, Cuba, Czechoslova-
kia, East Germany, Hungary, Nicaragua,
North Korea, Poland, and Romania.

SEC. 702. REFORM IN THE BUDGET DECISION-MAKING
PROCEDURES OF THE UNITED NATIONS
AND ITS SPE(IALIZED AGENCIES
(a) FINDINas.-The Congress finds that the
consensus based decision-making procedure
established by General Assembly Resolution
41/213 is a significant step toward comply-
ing with the intent of section 143 of the For-
eign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal
Years 1986 and 1987 (22 U.S.C. 287e note; 99
Stat. 405), as in effect before the date of en-
actment of this Act.
(b) REiroRM.-Section 143 of the Foreign
Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years
1986 and 1987 (22 U.S.C. 287e note; 99 Stat.
405), is amended to read as follows:
".SEC. US. REFORM IN BUDGET DECISIONMAKING
PROCEDURES OF THE UNITED NATIONS
AND ITS SPECIA LIZED AGENCIES.
"(a) FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN BUDGET
PRocEDuREs.-To achieve greater financial
responsibility in preparation of the assessed
budgets of the United Nations and its spe-
cialized agencies, the President should con-
tinue vigorous efforts to secure implementa-
tion by the United. Nations, and adoption
and implementation by its specialized agen-
cies, of decision-making procedures on budg-
etary matters which assures that sufficient
attention is paid to the views of the United
States and other member states who are
major financial contributors to such as-
sessed budgets.
"(b) LIMITATION ON ASSESSED CONTRIBU-
TIONS.-
'(I) With respect to United States assessed
contributions to the United Nations for each
calendar year beginning with calendar year
1987-
"(A) 40 percent of the United States as-
sessed contributions may be paid beginning
on October 1 of such calendar year;
'(8) 40 percent of the United States as-
sessed contributions may be paid when the
President has determined and so reported to
the Congress that-
"M the consensus based decision-making
procedure established by General Assembly
Resolution 41/213 is being implemented and
its results respected by the General Assem-
bly;
"(ii) progress is being made toward the 50
percent limitation on seconded employees of
the Secretariat as calledfor by the Group of
High Level Intergovernmental Experts to
Review the Efficiency of the Administrative
and Financial Functioning of the United
Nations (Group of 18) ; and
'(iii) the 15 percent reduction in the staff
of the Secretariat (recommendations 55 and
57 of the Group of 18) is being implemented
and that such reduction is being equitably
applied among the nationals on such staff,,
and
"(C) 20 percent of the United States as-
sessed contributions may be paid beginning
on a date which is 30 days after receipt by
the Congress of the report described in sub-
paragraph (B) unless the Congress within
such 30-day period enacts, in accordance
with subsection (c), a joint resolution pro-
hibiting the payment of the remaining 20
percent of such funds.
"(2) In the case that the amount appropri-
ated for United States assessed contribu-
tions to the United Nations for a calendar
year is less than the full amount of such
United States assessed contributions for
that year, the final one-fifth of the amount
appropriated may only be paid-
"(A) after the President has made the de-
terminations and report specified in para-
graph (1)(B); and
"(B) beginning on a date which is 30 days
after receipt by the Congress of the report re-
ferred to in subparagraph (A) unless the
Congress within such 30-day period enacts,
in accordance with subsection (c), a joint
resolution prohibiting the payment of the re-
maining one fifth of such funds.
"(3) For each calendar year beginning
with calendar year 1987, no payment may be
made of an assessed contribution by the
United States to any of the specialized agen-
cies of the United Nations if such payment
would cause the United States share of the
total assessed budget for such agency to
exceed 20 percent in any calendar year
unless the President determines and so re-
ports to the Congress that such agency has
made substantial progress toward the adop-
tion and implementation of decision-
making procedures on budgetary matters in
a manner that substantially achieves the
greater financial responsibility referred to
in subsection (a).
"(4) Subject to the availability of appro-
priations, when the presidential determina-
tions referred to in paragraphs (1)(B), (2),
and (3) have been made, payment of as-
sessed contributions for prior years may be
made to the United Nations or its special-
ized agencies (as the case may be) without

SEC. 903. PROCESSING OF CCR.4N NATIONALS FOR
ADMISSION TO THE UNITED STATES
(a) PROCESSING OF CERTAIN CUBAN POLITI-
CAL PRISONERS As REFUGEES.-In light of the
announcement of the Government of Cuba
on November 20, 1987 that it would reimple-
ment immediately the agreement of Decem-
ber 14, 1984 establishing normal migration
procedures between the United States and
Cuba, on and after the date of the enactment
of this Act, consular officers of the Depart-
ment of State and appropriate officers of the
Immigration and Naturalization Service
shall, in accordance with the procedures ap-
plicable to such cases in other countries,
process any application for admission to the
United States as a refugee from any Cuban
national who was imprisoned for political
reasons by the Government of Cuba on or
after January 1, 1959, without regard to the
duration of such imprisonment, except as
may be necessary to reassure the orderly
process of available applicants.
(b) PROCESSING OF IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICA-
TIONS OF CUBAN NATIONALS IN THIRD COUN-
TRIES.-Notwithstanding section 212(f) and
section 243(g) of the Immigration an Na-
tionality Act, on and after the date of the en-

tion:

ance and review of applications and the
preparation of necessary documents and the
making of appropriate determinations with
respect to such applications.
(2) The term "refugee" has the meaning
given such term in section 101(a)(42) of the
Immigration and Nationality Act.
SEC. 904. INDOCHINESE REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT.
(a) FINDINGS.-It is the sense of the Con-
gress that-
(1) the continued occupation of Cambodia
by Vietnam and the oppressive conditions
within Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos have
led to a steady flight of persons from those
countries, and the likelihood for the safe re-
patriation of the hundreds of thousands of
refugees in the region's camps is negligible
for the foreseeable future;
(2) the United States has already played a
major role in responding to the Indochinese
refugee problem by accepting approximately
850,000 Indochinese refugees into the United
States since 1975 and has a continued inter-
est in persons who have fled and continue to
flee the countries of Cambodia, Laos, and
Vietnam;
(3) Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand
have been the front line countries bearing
tremendous burdens caused by the flight of
these persons;
(4) all members of the international com-
munity bear a share of the responsibility for
the deterioration in the refugee first asylum
situation in Southeast Asia because of slow
and limited procedures, failure to imple-
ment effective policies for the region's "long-
stayer" populations, failure to monitor ade-
quately refugee protection and screening
programs, particularly along the Thai-Cam-
bodian and Thai-Laotian borders, and the
instability of the Orderly Departure Pro-
gram (ODP) from Vietnam which has served
as the only safe, legal means of departure
from Vietnam for refugees, including Amera-
slans and long-held "reeducation camp"
prisoners;
(5) the Government of Thailand should be
complemented for allowing the United
States to process ration card holders in
Khao I Dang and potentially qualified im-
migrants in Site 2 and in Khao I Dang;
(6) given the serious protection problem in
Southeast Asian first asylum countries and
the need to preserve first asylum in the
region, the United States should continue its
commitment to an ongoing, generous admis-
sion and protection program for Indochi-
nese refugees, including urgently needed
educational programs for refugees along the
Thai-Cambodian and Thai-Laotian borders,
until the underlying causes of refugee flight
are addressed and resolved;
(7) the executive branch should seek ade-
quate funding levels to meet United States
policy objectives to ensure the well-being of
Indochinese refugees in first asylum, and to
process 29,500 Indochinese refugees within
the overall refugee admissions level of 68,000
as determined by the President; and
(8) the Government of Thailand should be
complimented for the progress that has been
made in implementing an effective antipir-
acy program.
(b) RECOMMENDATIONS.-The Congress finds
and recommends the following with respect
to Indochinese refugees:
(1) The Secretary of State should urge the
Government of Thailand to allow full access
by highland refugees to the Lao Screening
Program, regardless of the method of their
arrival or the circumstances of their appre-
hension, and should intensify its efforts to
persuade the Government of Laos to accept
the safe return of persons rejected under the
Lao Screening Program.
(2) Refugee protection and monitoring ac-
tivities should be expanded along the Thai-
Laotian border in an effort to identify and
report on incidents of refugees forcibly repa-
triated into Laos.
(3) The Secretary of State should urge the
Government of Thailand to address immedi-
ately the problems of protection associated
with the Khmer along the Thai-Cambodian
border. The Government of Thailand, along
with appropriate international relief agen-
cies, should develop and implement a plan
to provide for greater security and protec-
tion for the Khmer at the Thai border.
(4) The international community should
increase its efforts to assure that Indochi-
nese refugee camps are protected, that refu-
gees have access to a free market at Site 2,
and that international observers and relief
personnel are present on a 24-hour-a-day
basis at Site 2 and any other camp where it
is deemed necessary.
(5) The Secretary of State should make
every effort to identify each person at Site 2
who may qualify for admission to the
United States as an immigrant and for hu-
manitarian parole.
(6) The United Nations High Commission-
er for Refugees should be pressed to upgrade
staff presence and the level of advocacy to
revive the international commitment with
regard to the problems facing Indochinese
refugees in the region, and to pursue volun-
tary repatriation possibilities in cases where
monitoring is available and the safety of the
refugees is assured.
(c) ALLOCATIONS OF REFUGEE ADMISSIONS.-
Given the existing connection between on-
going resettlement and the preservation of
first asylum, the United States and the

Asia first asylum camps and from the Order-
ly Departure Program sufficient to sustain
preservation of first asylum and security for
Indochinese in Southeast Asia, consistent
with worldwide refugee admissions require-
ments and the consultative processes of the
Refugee Act of 1980;
(2) within the allocation made by the
President for the Orderly Departure Pro-
gram from Vietnam, the number of admis-
sions allocated for Amerasians and their im-
mediate family members should also be gen-
erous;
(3) renewed international efforts must be
taken to address the Problem of Indochinese
refugees who have lived in campsfor 3 years
or longer; and
(4) the Secretary of State should urge the
United Nations High Commissioner for Ref-
ugees to organize immediately an interna-
tional conference to address the problems of
Indochinese refugees.
(d) REPORTING.-The President shall
submit a report to Congress within 180 days
after the date of the enactment of this Act on
the respective roles of the Immigration and
Naturalization Service and the Department
of State in the refugee program with recom-
mendations for improving the effectiveness
and efficiency of the Program.
SEC. 905. AMERASIAN CHILDREN IN VIET VA:W..
(a) FINDINGS AND DECIACATIONS.-The Con-
gress makes the following findings and dec-
larations:
(1) Thousands of children in the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam were fathered by Amer-
ican civilians and military personnel.
(2! It has been reported that many of these
Amerasian children are ineligible for ration
cards and often beg in the streets, peddle
black market wares, or prostitute them-
selves.
(V The mothers of Amerasian children in
Vietnam are not eligible for government jobs
or employment in government enterprises
and many are estranged from their families
and are destitute.
(4) Amerasian children and their families
have undisputed ties to the United States
and are of particular humanitarian concern
to the United States.
(5) The United States has a longstanding
and very strong commitment to receive the
Amerasian children in Vietnam, if they
desire to come to the United States.
(6) In September 1984, the United States
informed the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
that all Amerasian children in Vietnam,
their mothers, and qualifying family mem-
bers would be admitted as refugees to the
United States during a three-year period.
(7) Amerasian emigration from Vietnam
increased significantly in fiscal year 1985
under the Orderly Departure Program of the
United Nations High Commissioner on Ref-
ugees.
(8) On January 1, 1986, the Socialist Re-
Public of Vietnam unilaterally suspended
interviews of all individuals seeking to leave
Vietnam legally under the auspices of the
Orderly Departure Program for resettlement
in the United States.
(9) On the 19th and 20th of October 1987,
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam permitted
the United States to resume interviewing
Amerasians and their families.
(b) SENSE OF THE CoNGRESs.-It is the sense
of the Congress that-
(1) the United States should maintain its
strong commitment to receive the Amera-
sian children in the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam and their families;
(2) the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
should cooperate fully in facilitating the
processing of all Amerasians who desire to
be resettled in the United States; and
(3) the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
should cooperate fully in the processing of
Amerasians for emigration.
SEC. 906. REFUGEES FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA
(a) FINDINGS:-The Congress finds that-
(1) the United States remains firmly com-
mitted to the security of Thailand and to
improving relations between our two na-
tions:
(2) the United States refugee resettlement
and humanitarian assistance programs con-
stitute an important factor in bilateral rela-
tions between the United States and Thai-
land;
(3) the preservation of first asylum for
those fleeing persecution is one of the pri-
mary objectives of the United States refugee
program;
(4) the actions of another government in
labeling refugee Populations as "displaced
persons" or closing its borders to new arriv-
als shall not constitute a barrier to the
United States considering those individuals
or groups to be refugees;
(5) it is in the national interest to facili-
tate the reunification of separated families
of United States citizens and permanent
residents, and the Congress will look with
disfavor on any nation which seriously
hinders emigration for such reunifications;
(6) the persecution of the Cambodian
people under the Khmer Rouge rule from
1975-1979, which caused the deaths of up to
two million people and in which the bulk of
the Khmer people were subjected to life in
an Asian Auschwitz, constituted one of the
clearest examples of genocide in recent his-
tory; and
(7) the invasion of Cambodia by Vietnam
and the subsequent occupation of that coun-
try by 140,000 Vietnamese troops backing up
the Heng Samrin regime, which itself con-
tinues to seriously violate the kuman rights
of Cambodians, and the presence of 40,090
heavily armed troops under the control of
the sane Rhrner Rouge leaders, overwhelm-
ingly demonstrate that the life or freedom of
any Cambodian not allied with the Khmer
Rouge or supporting Heng Samrin would be
seriously endangered if such individual
were forced by a country of first asylum to
return to his or her homeland
(b) STATEMENT of POLICY.-It is the sense of
the Congress that-
(11 any Cambodians who are, or had been,
at Khao I Dang camp should be considered
and interviewed for eligibility for the
United States refugee Program, irrespective
of the date they entered Thailand or that ref-
ugee camp
(Z) any Cambodian rejected for admission
to the United States who can demonstrate
new or additional evidence relating to his
claim should have his or her case reviewed;
(3) the United States should work with the
United Nations High Commissioner for Ref-
ugees, the International Committee of the
Red Cross, and the Government of Thailand
to improve the security of all refugee facili-
ties in Thailand and to prevent the forced
repatriation of Cambodiax refugees;
(4! the United States should treat with
utmost seriousness the continued reports of
forced repatriations to Laos of would-be
asylum seekers, and should lodge strong and
continuous protests with the Thai Govern-
ment to bring about an end to these repatri-
ations, which endanger the life and safety of
those involuntarily returned to Laos; and
(5) within the Orderly Departure Program
the United States will give high priority con-
sideration to determining the eligibility of
serious health cases and cases involving
children separated from both parents.
SEC 907. QELE45E OF YANG WEL
(a) FmrDrNGS -The Congress makes the fol-
lowingfindings:
H 11319
(1) Yang Wei, a Chinese national, studied
at the University of Arizona from 1983 until
he received his masters of science degree in
microbiology in 1986.
(2) In May 1986 Yang Wei returned to
China to marry Dr. Che Shaoli and arrange
for funding for his continued studies under
a PhD program at the University of Arizona.
(3) On January 11, 1987, while stilt an of-
ficial student at the University of Arizona,
Yang Wei was arrested by the Shanghai
Public Security Bureau.
(4) Yang Wei has been held without charge
or trial since January 11, 1987..
(5) Mr. Yang's wife, a student at Baylor
Medical College in Houston, Texas, has been
refused any information about her hus-
band's whereabouts or condition by Chinese
authorities.
(6) Mr. Yang's father, Yang Jue, and his
mother Bi Shuyun, have been denied all con-
tact with their son.
(7) The Chinese Criminal Procedure law of
1979, sections 92, 97, 125, and 142 provides
for a maximum of four and a half months of
detention without charge or trial and Yang
Wei has now been held over six months, con-
trary to Chinese law.
(8) Yang Wei has not committed any
crime under United States or Chinese law.
(91 Yang Wet and his wife only aspire to
freedom and democracy.
(10) The treatment of Mr. Yang and his
family is frightening to all Chinese students
now studying in the West and meant to be
so by Chinese authorities.
(11) Recently more than two thousand
Chinese students signed an open letter to ex-
press their concern about recent political de-
velopments in their country.
(b! Poucr.-It is the sense of Congress
that-
(1) the People's Republic of China should
immediately release Yang Wei; and
(2) the United States should consider sym-
pathetically applications for asylum from
Chinese students studying in the United
States who can, on a case-by-case basis,
demonstrate a well-founded fear of Persecu-
tion.
TIRE X-ANTI-TERRORISM ACT OF 1987
SEC 100/. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the Anti-Terror-
ism Act of 1987'.
SEC. /00Z. FINDINGS; DETERMINATIONS
(a) F/NDtNGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) Middle East terrorism accounted for 60
percent of total international terrorism in
1985;
(2) the Palestine Liberation Organization
(hereafter in this title referred to as the
"PLO") was directly responsible for the
murder of an American citizen on the
Achille Lauro cruise liner in 1985, and a
member of the PLO's Executive Committee
is under indictment in the United States for
the murder of that American citizen;
(3) the head of the PLO has been implicat-
ed in the murder of a United States Ambas-
sador overseas;
(4) the PLO and its constituent groups
have taken credit for, and been implicated
in, the murders of dozens of American citi-
zens abroad;
(5) the PLO covenant specifically states
that "armed struggle is the only way to liber-
ate Palestine, thus it is an overall strategy,
not merely a tactical phase"
;
(6) the PLO rededicated itself to the "con-
tinuing struggle in all its armed forms" at
the Palestine National Council meeting in
April 1987,? and
(7) the Attorney General has stated that
"various elements of the Palestine Libera-
tion Organization and its allies and affili-
ates are in the thick of international terror"

1111320 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOSE December 14, 1987
(b) DETERMINATIONS.-Therefore, the Con-
gress determines that the PLO and its affili-
ates are a terrorist organization and a
threat to the interests of the United States, it
allies, and to international law and should
not benefit from operating in the United
States.

ist actions anywhere in the world.
TITLE XI-GLOBAL CLIMATE PROTECTION
SEC. 1101. SHORT TITLE,
This title may be cited as the "Global Cli-
mate Protection Act of 1987":
SEC. 1101. FINDINGS
The Congress finds as follows:
(1) There exists evidence that manmade
pollution-the release of carbon dioxide,
chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and other
trace gases into the atmosphere-may be
producing a long term and substantial in-
crease in the average temperature on Earth,
a phenomenon known as global warming
through the greenhouse effect.
(2) By early in the next century, an in-
crease in Earth temperature could-
(A) so alter global weather patterns as to
have an effect on existing agricultural pro-
duction and on the habitability of large por-
tions of the Earth,- and
(B) cause thermal expansion of the oceans
and partial melting of the polar ice caps
and glaciers, resulting in rising sea levels.
(3) Important research into the problem of
climate change is now being conducted by
various United States Government and
international agencies, and the continu-
ation and intensification of those efforts
will be crucial to the development of an ef-
fective United States response.
(4) While the consequences of the green-
house effect may not be fully manifest until
the next century, ongoing pollution and de-
forestation may be contributing now to an
irreversible process. Necessary actions must
be identified and implemented in time to
protect the climate.
(5) The global nature of this problem will
require vigorous efforts to achieve interna-
tional cooperation aimed at minimizing
and responding to adverse climate change;
such international cooperation will be
greatly enhanced by United States leader-
ship. A key step in international coopera-
tion will be the meeting of the Governing
Council of the United Nations Environment
Program, scheduled for June 1989, which
will seek to determine a direction for world-
wide efforts to control global climate
change.
(6) Effective United States leadership in
the international arena will depend upon a
coordinated national policy.
SEC. 1103. MANDATE FOR ACTION ON THE GLOBAL
CLIMATE.
(a) GOALS OF UNITED STATES POLICY.-
United States policy should seek to-
(1) increase worldwide understanding of
the greenhouse effect and its environmental
and health consequences;
(2) foster cooperation among nations to
develop more extensive and coordinated sci-
entific research efforts with respect to the
greenhouse effect;
(3) identify technologies and activities to
limit mankind's adverse effect on the global
climate by-
(A) slowing the rate of increase of concen-
trations of greenhouse gases in the atmos-
phere in the near term; and
(B) stabilizing or reducing atmospheric
concentrations of greenhouse gases over the
long term; and
(4) work toward multilateral agreements.
(b) FORMULATION OF UNITED STATES
PoLIcy.-The President, through the Envi-
ronmental Protection Agency, shall be re-
sponsible for developing and proposing to
Congress a coordinated national policy on
global climate change. Such policy formula-
tion shall consider research findings of the
Committee on Earth Sciences of the Federal
Coordinating Council on Science and Engi-
neering Technology, the National Academy
of Sciences, the National Oceanic and At-
mospheric Administration, the National Sci-
ence Foundation, the National Aeronautic
and Space Administration, the Department
of Energy, the Environmental Protection
Agency, and other organizations engaged in
the conduct of scientific research.
(C) COORDINATION OF UNITED STATES POLICY
IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA.-The Secretary
of State shall be responsible to coordinate
those aspects of United States policy requir-
ing action through the channels of multilat-
eral diplomacy, including the United Na-
tions Environment Program and other
international organizations. In the formula-
tion of these elements of United States
policy, the Secretary of State shall, under the
direction of the President, work jointly with
the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency and other United States
agencies concerned with environmental pro-
tection, consistent with applicable Federal
law.
SEC. 1101. REPORT TO CONGRESS
Not later than 24 months after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State
and the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency shall jointly submit to all
committees of jurisdiction in the Congress a
report which shall include-
(1) a summary analysis of current interna-
tional scientific understanding of the green-
house effect, including its environmental
and health consequences;
(2) an assessment of United States efforts
to gain international cooperation in limit-
ing global climate change; and
(3) a description of the strategy by which
the United States intends to seek further
international cooperation to limit global
climate change.
SEC. 1105. INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF GLOBAL CLI-
MATE PROTECTION.
In order to focus international attention
and concern on the problem of global warm-
ing, and to foster further work on multilat-
eral treaties aimed at protecting the global
climate, the Secretary of State shall under-
take all necessary steps to promote, within
the United Nations system, the early desig-
nation of an International Year of Global
Climate Protection.
SEC. 1106. CLIMATE PROTECTION AND UNITED
STA TES-SO VIET BELA TIONS
In recognition of the respective leadership
roles of the United States and the Soviet
Union in the international arena, and of
their joint role as the world's two major pro-
ducers of atmospheric pollutants, the Con-
gress urges that the President accord the
problem of climate protection a high priori-
ty on the agenda of United States-Soviet re-
lations.
TITLE XII-REGIONAL FOREIGN RELATIONS
MATTERS
PART A-SOVIET UNION AND EASTERN
EUROPE
SEC. 1201. SOVIET BALLISTIC MISSILE TESTS NEAR
HAWAII.
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
and the United States are presently negoti-
ating a reduction of nuclear weapons and
have recently concluded an agreement with
respect to reducing the risks of accidental
nuclear war;
(2) the Soviet Union has recently conduct-
ed two tests of its heavy intercontinental
ballistic missiles over trajectories similar to
those which could be used in actual attacks
on the Hawaiian Islands;
(3) the announced impact points for re-
entry vehicles from these tests could have re-
sulted in the overflight of sovereign United
States territory, namely the Hawaiian Is-
lands;
(4) the Soviet Union reportedly encrypted
telemetry from the flight tests in potential
violation of the provisions of bilateral arms
control agreements;
(5) the Soviet Union used a directed
energy device, believed to be a laser, to irra-
diate a United States military aircraft in
international airspace that was monitoring
the tests, having the potential effect of inter-
fering with our national technical means of
verification;
(6) had this test misfired, Soviet ballistic
missile test reentry vehicles could have
landed among the Hawaiian Islands; and
(7) the United States does not test strate-
gic missiles in the direction of or in close
proximity to sovereign Soviet territory.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.-It is the sense
of the Congress that-
(1) the actions of the Soviet Union in test-
ing intercontinental ballistic missiles in the
Hawaiian region and irradiating United
States monitoring aircraft are provocative,
unnecessary, and inconsistent with behav-
ior designed to reduce the risk of nuclear
war,
(2) the United States Government-
(A) should officially and at the highest
levels protest these actions by the Soviet
Union and should inform the Soviet Union
that it cannot tolerate flight tests in close
proximity to sovereign United States terri-
tory or interference with United States mon-
itoring aircraft; and

(B) should seek Soviet assurances that
such missile testing near United States terri-
tory and irradiation of United States terri-
tory and irradiation of United States air-
craft will not occur in the future; and
(3) the President should, within 10 days of
the date of enactment of this Act, report to
the Congress in both classified and unclassi-
fied form, on-
(A) the details of these Soviet missile tests,
including the irradiation of the United
States monitoring aircraft,-
(B) Soviet explanations offered in re-
sponse to United States protests; and
(C) what steps will be taken to ensure that
such activities will not happen in the future.
SEC. 1202. EMIGRATION OF JEWS AND OTHERS WHO
WISH TO EMIGRATE FROM THE SOVIET
UNION.
It is the sense of the Congress that the
Government of the Soviet Union should-
(1) permit the emigration of Jews and
others who wish to emigrate from the Soviet
Union;
(2) remove restrictions on the practice of
religion and the exercise of cultural rights;
and
(3) cease the official harassment of indi-
viduals who wish to emigrate, practice their
religion, exercise their cultural rights, or
engage in free intellectual pursuits.
SEC. 1203. SYSTEMATIC NONDELIVERY OF LVTERNA.
TIONAL MAIL ADDRESSED TO CERTAIN
PERSONS RESIDING WITHIN THE
SOVIET UNION.
It is the sense of the Congress that-
(1) the President should express to the
Government of the Soviet Union the disap-
proval of the United States regarding the
systematic nondelivery of international
mail; and
(2) at the Congress of the Universal Postal
Union in Washington, District of Columbia,
in 1989, the Department of State should
bring to the attention of other member coun-
tries of the Universal Postal Union patterns
of nondelivery of international mail by the
Soviet Union contrary to the Acts of the
Universal Postal Union and the delegation
of the United States should ask other
member countries to support the adoption of
amendments to the Universal Postal Con-
vention and other measures to encourage
improved postal performance by the Soviet
Union.
SEC. 1204. UNITED STATES POLICY AGALI:ST PERSE-
CUTION OF CHRISTIANS IN EASTERN
EUROPE AND THE SOVIET UNION.
It is the sense of the Congress that-
(1) the President should continue to ex-
press to the governments of the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics and Eastern Eu-
ropean countries the deep concern and op-
position of the United States with respect to
the harassment of Christians and other reli-
gious believers;
(2) the governments of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics and Eastern European
countries should comply with their commit-
ments under the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, the Interna-
tional Covenants on Human Rights, the
Final Act of the Conference on Security and
Cooperation in Europe, and the Madrid
Concluding Document; and
(3) the governments of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics and Eastern European
countries should immediately cease perse-
cuting individuals on the basis of their faith
and should afford Christians and other be-
lievers their internationally recognized right
to freedom of religion.

SEC. 1221 11NITEB STATES POLICY ON ANGOLA.
(a) FINDINas.-The Congress finds that-
(1) it is in the interest of peace and eco-
nomic development in southern Africa for
the President and the Secretary of State to
discuss the conflict in Angola with Soviet
leaders;
(2) the President has stated that the reso-
lution of regional conflicts such as Angola,
Afghanistan, and Nicaragua is critical to
improvements in Soviet=American relations;
(3) the proposed summit between Presi-
dent Reagan and Secretary General Gorba-
chev provides the United States with an op-
portunity to encourage complete Soviet-
Cuban withdrawal from Angola, the possible
provision of humanitarian assistance, and
the holding 4f free and fair elections;
(4) the Marxist regime in Angola known as
the Popular Movement for Liberation of
Angola thereafter in this section referred to
as the "MPLA") is currently launching a
major dry-season offensive against the oppo-
sition involving thousands of Cuban troops
and billions of dollars in sophisticated
Soviet weaponry;
(5) the people of Angola are starving be-
cause of the hardships resulting from 12
years of civil war and inefficient Marxist
economic policies;
(6) the MPLA regime has turned to the
international community for substantial
food aid while continuing to spend most of
Angola's national budget on sustaining the
war effort, including payments for Cuban
troops and Soviet arms; and
(7) the growing intensity of the war, the
starvation and mounting suffering of the
Angolan people, the continued presence in
Angola of 37,000 Cuban combat troops and
South African forces, the continued presence
and active involvement of 2,500 Soviet mili-
tary advisers, and the refusal of the MPLA
to negotiate with the opposition, increase
the urgency of reaching a peaceful solution.
(b) POLICY.-It is the sense of the Congress
that-
(1) the United States should continue to
work toward a peaceful resolution to the An-
golan conflict that includes-
(A) the complete withdrawal of all foreign
forces and Soviet military advisers;
(B) a negotiated settlement to the 12-year
conflict leading to the formation of a gov-
ernment of national unity and the holding
offree and fair elections; and
(C) efforts by the President and the Secre-
tary of State to convey to Soviet leaders at
the proposed summit and in other meetings
that the aggressive military build-up in
Angola undermines positive bilateral rela-
tions and that the United States is commit-
led to supporting democratic forces in
Angola until democracy is achieved;
(2) the people of Angola should not be left
to starve because of the MPLA regime;
(3) the United States should. consider re-
sponding to the humanitarian needs of the
Angolan people, and if humanitarian assist-
ance is provided, such assistance should be
distributed in an evenhanded manner, so
that Angolans throughout the entire war-
torn country are provided with food and
basic medical care;
(4) any humanitarian assistance should be
distributed through private and voluntary
organizations or nongovernmental organi-
zations; and
(5) within 180 days after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State
should prepare and transmit to the Congress
a report detailing the progress of discussions
between the Soviet Union and the United
States on the conflict in Angola.

RICAN GOVERNMENT
Not later than 90 days after the date of en-
actment of this Act, the Secretary of State

SEC 1224. DE7EN7701V OF CHILDREN IN SO(71!
AFRICA.
(a) FINDmos.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the Government of the Republic of
South Africa under its system of apartheid
repeatedly has detained black children with-
out charge or trial, and has denied parental
access to these children for extended periods
of time;
(2) the Detainees' Parents' Support Com-
mittee of South Africa has compiled infor-
mation estimating that more than 25,000
people were detained since June 12, 1986,
under state of emergency regulations. and
approximately 1&000 of these were children,
including some as young as age 10;
(3) the Government of the Republic of
South Africa has stated on numerous occa-
sions that it has detained children without
charge, and that on a certain day in Decem-
ber 1986, 256 children under the age of 16
were in detention; that on a certain day in
February 1987, 281 children under the age of
15 were in detention; that on a certain day
in April 1987, 1,424 children under the age of
18 were in detention; and that on a certain

estimate that many more children have been
detained under state of emergency regula-
tions than the Government of the Republic
of South Africa admits;
(5) the state of emergency regulations
allow for the detention of individuals with-
out charge for an indefinite period of time,
and
(6) the United States Ambassador to South
Africa Edward J. Perkins has stated that
such detentions are "a most serious abuse of
human rights, particularly so where detain-
ees are children as young as 11":
(b) POLICY.-The Congress hereby-
(1) calls for the cessation of the practice of
detaining children under 18 years of age
without charge or trial in South Africa;
(2) calls for the South African Government
either to release all children in South Africa
held under state of emergency regulations
and other laws which authorize detention
without charge or, in those cases where an
internationally recognized criminal act has
allegedly been committed, charge them and
allow them their rights of a fair and public
trial;
(3) pending the release of the children,
calls on the Government of the Republic of
South Africa to-
(A) permit the detained children immedi-
ate and frequent access to parents and legal
counsel;

tured, or held in solitary confinement, and
are not being held in detention in the com-
pany of adults; and

PART D-,MIDDLE EAST
SEC. 1231. MIDDLE EAST PEA CE CONFERENCE
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the General Assembly of the United Na-
tions recognized the sovereignty of the State
of Israel through Resolution 181 of 1947 and
the right of all Israeli citizens to live within
secure and recognized boundaries through
Resolutions 242 and 338 of 1973;
(2) the Government of the Soviet Union
severed diplomatic relations with the State
of Israel in 1967 and has opposed every
recent United States initiative for direct, bi-
lateral negotiations among the warring par-
ties of the Middle East including the Camp
David accords of 1979 and the Reagan plan
of 1982;
(3J the Government of the Soviet Union
has further. demonstrated its lack of respect
for the integrity of the Israeli state by sys-
tematically denying exit visas to Soviet
Jews who wish to live and work in the State
of Israel; and
14) a permanent and equitable settlement
of the Middle Eastern conflict can result
only from agreements between the Arab
States and Israel.
(b) PoLicy.-It is the sense of the Congress
that the United States should not actively
encourage the participation of the Soviet
Union in any conference, meeting, or
summit on the Arab-Israeli conflict which
includes nations other than those in the
Middle East unless the Government of the
Soviet Union has either.
(1JIA) reestablished diplomatic relations
with the State of Israel at the ambassadorial
level;
(B) publicly reaffirmed its acceptance of
United Nation Resolutions 242 and 338; and
(C) substantially increased and main-
tained the number of exit visas granted to
Jewish individuals and families within the
Soviet Union who have applied for emigra-
tion to the State of Israel; or
121 been jointly invited by the govern-
ments of the states in the region involved in
the talks.
SEC 1232. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD LEBA-
NON.
(al FINDINGS.-The Congress makes the fol-
lowing findings:
(1) After nearly 13 years of civil conflict
and foreign intervention, the situation in
Lebanon appears no closer to resolution.
(2) Through most of the last dozen years,
the Lebanese have managed to continue eco-
nomic activity sufficient to stave off eco-
nomic collapse and provide its citizens with
basic necessities.

December 14, 1987 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE
(3) During the past year, however, the col-
lapse in the value of the Lebanese pound
from less than 40 to the dollar to nearly 300
has made the importation of wheat, rice,
and other basic commodities prohibitively
expensive.
(4) As a result, for the first time, the Leba-
nese are faced with the prospect of starva-
tion.
(5) Hizballah and other radical elements
are taking advantage of the current econom-
ic crisis by providing foreign supplied food.
In so doing, they are winning converts to
their cause and radicalizing the youth.
(6) It is in the interest of the United States
to support the traditional Lebanese free en-
terprise system of distribution of food which
until now has been able to compete success-
fully with these radical movements.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.-It is the sense of
the Congress that the United States should
base its policy toward Lebanon on the fol-
lowing principles:
(1) Preservation of the unity of Lebanon.
(2) Withdrawal of all foreign forces from
Lebanon.
(3) Recognition of and respect for the ter-
ritorial integrity of Lebanon.
(4) Reassertion of Lebanese sovereignty
throughout the nation and recognition that
it is the responsibility of the Government of
Lebanon for its safekeeping.
(5) Reestablishment of the authority of the
Government of Lebanon throughout the
nation is a prerequisite for a lasting solu-
tion to the problem of international terror-
ism emanating from Lebanon.
(c1 FURTHER SENSE OF CONGRESS.-It is the
further sense of Congress that the provision
of at least 200,000 tons of wheat and 30,000
tons of rice through Public Law 480, Title I
and Section 416 of the Agriculture Act of
1949 to the Government of Lebanon is in the
interest of the United States. Provision of
this assistance will meet the United States
policy objective of strengthening the Central
Government as well as helping alleviate a
serious hunger problem.
SEC. 1233. ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH I.NTER.NA-
TIONAL LA W IN THE PERSIAN GULF.
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress makes the fol-
lowing findings:
(1) According to Article 2 of the 1958
Geneva Convention on the High Seas, every
state is entitled to exercise free and open use
of the high seas for the navigation of its ves-
sels.
(2) On September 22, 1987, United States
Navy forces discovered the Iranian ship
Iran Ajr laying mines in international
waters of the Persian Gulf, and fired upon
that ship to help terminate the mining.
(3) On September 23, 1987, President
Reagan declared that this United States
action was "authorized by law", and a state-
ment was issued by the State Department
that the United States had the right under
international law to use "reasonable and
proportionate force" to terminate the
mining.
(b) PoLIcy.-It is the sense of the Congress
that-
(1) by mining the high seas of the Persian
Gulf without notifying nonbelligerent na-
tions engaged in maritime commerce, the
Government of Iran violated international
law;
(2) the use of force by the United States
Navy to terminate that Iranian mining was
justified under international law; and
(3) fostering broader adherence to interna-
tional law promotes the security interests of
the United States.
SEC. 1234. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD THE
IRAN-IRAQ WAR
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the continuation of the Iran-Iraq war
threatens the security and stability of all
states in the Persian Gulf,'
(2) stability in the Persian Gulf and the
flow of oil is critical to world trade and the
economic health of the West;
(3) the conflict between Iran and Iraq
threatens United States strategic and politi-
cal interests in the region;
(4) the conflict threatens international
commercial shipping interests and activi-
ties; and
(5) the Iran-Iraq war has continued seven
years with more than 1,500,000 casualties.
(b) POLICY.-The Congress declares it to be
the policy of the United States consistent
with United Nations Security Council Reso-
lution 598-
(1) to support the withdrawal of both Iran
and Iraq to internationally recognized
boundaries;
(2) to support an immediate cease-fire;
(3) to endorse the peaceful resolution of
this conflict under the auspices of the
United Nations;
(4) to encourage all governments to re-
frain from providing military supplies to
any party which refuses to abide by United
Nations Security Council Resolution 598;
(5) to recognize that stability and security
in the Persian Gulf will only be achieved if
Iran and Iraq are at peace and agree not to
interfere in the affairs of other nations
through military action or the support of
terrorism; and
(6) to urge strict observance of interna-
tional humanitarian law by both sides and
to support financially the International
Committee of the Red Cross' special appeal
for prisoners of war.
SEC. 1235. IRAN HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the United Nations has passed nine
resolutions condemning the violation of
human rights in Iran;
(2) the United Nations Subcommission on
Prevention of Discrimination and Protec-
tion of Minorities stressed in Resolution
1987-12 that to date, more than two-hundred
thousand Iranians have been imprisoned,
tortured or executed because of their beliefs;
(3) the United Nations Commission on
Human Rights confirms seven thousand exe-
cutions in Iran between 1978 and 1985, and
attests that the actual number is probably
much higher;
(4) despite the persistent requests over the
past six years by the United Nations and by
many human rights organizations that the
Iranian Government allow a special repre-
sentative of the United Nations Security
Council to inspect Iranian prisons and to
determine the true extent of torture in Iran,
such requests have been ignored by the Ira-
nian Government;
(5) executions, including executions of
children and members of religious minori-
ties, still take place in Iran;
(6) the Khomeini government has brought
the domestic economy of Iran to the brink of
ruin by pouring the resources of the country
into war making;
(7) Iran has rejected all proposals to end
the seven year Iran-Iraq war;
(8) Iran has not responded positively to
United Nations Security Council Resolution
598 which calls for an end to the Iran-Iraq
war;
(9) the Khomeini government continues to
attack and intimidate the other countries of
the Persian Gulf region; and
(10) it is known that the Khomeini govern-
ment supports terrorism and has used hos-
tage taking as an instrument of foreign
policy.
(bi Pocucy.-Now therefore, the Congress-
H 11323
(1) expresses concern for those citizens
who must endure war and unprecedented re-
pression;
(2) supports an official United States
policy of completely halting the shipment of
any kind of armament to the Government of
Iran; and
(3) urges that the President continue to
make every effort to cooperate with the other
nations of the United Nations to bring
about an end to government sponsored tor-
ture in Iranian prisons, to pressure Iran to
permit inspection of Iranian prisons by an
international delegation, and to respect
internationally recognized human rights.
SEC. 1236. IRANIAN PERSECUTION OF THE BA 11A 7S
(a) PoLICY.-It is the sense of the Congress
that-
(1) the Government of Iran has systemati-
cally discriminated against the Baha'i com-
munity, including the arbitrary detention,
torture, and killing of Baha'is, the seizure of
Baha'i property, and the outlawing of the
Baha'i faith,- and
(2) Iran's gross violations of the human
rights of the Baha'i community are in direct
contravention of the Charter of the United
Nations and the United Nations Declara-
tion of Human Rights.
(b) IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY.-It is the
sense of Congress that the President shall
take all necessary steps to focus internation-
al attention on the plight of the Baha'i com-
munity and to bring pressure to bear on the
Government of Iran to cease its insidious
policy of persecution.
PART E-ASIA
SEC. 1241. SOVIET OCCUPATION OFAFGHANISTAN.
(a) FINDINGS ON SOVIET ACTIONS IN AFGHANI-
sTAN.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the Soviet Union has been waging war
against the people of Afghanistan since the
invasion of December 25, 1979;
(21 the victims of the Soviet invasion and
occupation include more than 1,000,000
dead and more than 3.000,000 Afghans
forced to find refuge in neighboring coun-
tries;
(3) Soviet military tactics have included
the bombing and napalming of villages
without regard to the human toll, the de-
struction of crops, agricultural land, and or-
chards so as to create famine conditions,
and the massacre of hostages and other in-
nocent civilians;
(4) children have been particular victims
of Soviet aggression, with some being target-
ed for death by the dropping of booby-
trapped toys while other children have been
transported to the Soviet Union for indoctri-
nation;
(5) the Soviet-installed puppet regime has
engaged in a consistent pattern of gross vio-
lations of the human rights of its own citi-
zens, including torture and summary execu-
tion, for which its Soviet sponsors must also
be held accountable; and
(6) Soviet actions in Afghanistan consti-
tute a violation of international law and of
accepted norms of human decency and,
therefore, must be condemned by civilized
people everywhere.
(b) FINDINGS ON THE AFGHAN RESISTANCE.-
The Congress further finds that-
(1) the Afghan people have heroically re-
sisted the Soviet invaders in spite of the tre-
mendous cost of so doing and now control
most of their homeland;
(2) the provision of effective assistance to
the Afghan people is an obligation of those
who cherish freedom,-
(3) a total and prompt withdrawal of all
Soviet forces from Afghanistan is essential
in order for the Afghan people to exercise
their inalienable human right to self-deter-
mination; and

(4) a negotiated settlement providing for
the total and prompt withdrawal of Soviet
forces offers the best prospect for an early
end to the suffering of the Afghan people.
(c) DDCZARA77ON of POLICY.-The Congress,
therefore, declares it to be the policy of the
United States-
(1) to provide such assistance to the
Afghan people as will most effectively help
them resist the Soviet invaders;
(2) to support a negotiated settlement to
the Afghanistan war providing for the
prompt withdrawal Qf all Soviet forces from
Afghanistan within a time frame based
solely on logistical criteria; and
(3) to communicate clearly to the Govern-
ment and people of the Soviet Union the ne-
cessity of a Soviet withdrawal from Afghani-
stan as a condition for better relations be-
tween the United States and the Soviet
Union.
(d) PRovisioN OF ASSISTANCE.-The Presi-
dent and Secretary of State are directed to
adopt policies and programs to ensure that
all assistance intended for the Afghan people
reaches its intended recipients and that
theft or diversion of such assistance not be
tolerated.
SEC. 1242. REPORT ON ADMINISTRATION POLICY ON
AFGHANISTAN
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) each of the substantive sanctions im-
posed on the Soviet Union by the United
States to protest the Soviet invasion of Af-
ghanistan have been lifted;
(2) although the administration's policy
on Afghanistan states that only "steadily in-
creasing pressure on aft fronts-military, po-
litical, diploraatic`soi l induce the Soviets
to make the political decision to negotiate
the withdrawal of their forces", political
and diplomatic pressures on the Soviet
Union have decreased rather than increased;
(3) in the absence of a coordinated and ag-
gressive policy by the administration re-
garding the war in Afghanistan, the Con-
gress has been forced to unilaterally imple-
ment numerous programs to bring "steadily
increasing pressure" to bear on the Soviet
Union; and
(4) despite the failure of Soviet troops to
withdraw from Afghanistan, and the serious
deterioration with regard to the situation of
human rights in Afghanistan, the adminis-
tration is planning to lift further sanctions
and initiate increasing areas of cooperation
with the Soviet Union.
(b) REPoRT TO CONGRESS.-(1J Not later
than 60 days after the date of the enactment
of this Act, the Secretary of State shall pro-
vide the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee and the Chairman of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee with a
report listing each sanction imposed against
the Soviet Union by the United States since
the first anniversary of the Soviet invasion
of Afghanistan, a detailed explanation for
the lilting of each sanction, and a detailed
analysis of the benefit to the Soviet Union
incurred by the lifting of each sanction.
(2) Not later than 60 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
State shall provide the Chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee and
the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee a comprehensive list of all areas
of ongoing cooperation that could be with-
held from the Soviet Union.
(31 Not later than 60 days after the date of
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
State shall provide the Chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee and
the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee with a detailed and comprehen-
sive report in a suitably classified form, and
in an unclassified forme, containing the dis-
position of Soviet military forces in the Af-
ghanistan region and an account of any
troop withdrawals and any new troop de-
ployments.
SEC. 1243. HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN TIBET BY
THE PEOPLES REPCBLIC OF CHINA.
(a) FINDINas.-The Congress finds that-
(I) on October 1, 1987, Chinese police in
Lhasa fired upon several thousand unarmed
Tibetan demonstrators, which included hun-
dreds of women, children, and Tibetan Bud-
dhist monks, killing at least six and wound-
ing wary others;
(2J on September 27, 1987, a peaceful dem-
onstration in Lhasa calling for Tibetan in-
dependence and the restoration of human
rights in Tibet, which was led by hundreds
of Tibetan monats, was violently broken up
by Chinese authorities and Z7 Tibetan Bud-
dhist monks were arrested;
(3) in the wake of His Holiness the Dalai
Lama's five point peace plan, which was
presented to Members of the United States
Congress during his visit to Washington in
September 1987, Chinese as&eorities in Tibet
staged, on September 24, 1987, a mass politi-
cal rally at which three Tibetans were given
death sentences, two of whom were executed
immediately;
(4) beginning October 7, 1950, the Chinese
Communist army invaded and occupied
Tibet;
(5) since that time, the Chinese Govern-
ment has exercised dominion over the Tibet-
an people, who had always considered them-
selves as independent, through the presence
of a large occupation force;
(6) over 1,000,000 Tibetans perished from
1959 to 1979 as a direct result of the politi-
cal instability, executions, imprisonment,
and widescale famine engendered by the
policies of the People's Republic of China in
Tibet;
(7) after 1950, particularly during the rav-
ages of China's Cultural Revolution, over
6,600 monasteries, the repositories of 1,300
years of Tibet's ancient civilization, were
destroyed and their irreplaceable national
legacy of art and literature either destroyed,
stolen, or removed from Tibet;
(8) the exploitation of Tibet's vast miner-
al, forest, and aw.imai reserves has occurred
with limited benefit to the Tibetan. people;
(91 Tibet's economy and education, health,
and human services remain far below those
of the Peoples Republic of China as a whole;
(10) the People'' Republic of China has en-
couraged a large influx of Han-Chinese into
Tibet, thereby undermining the political and
cultural traditions of the Tibetan people;
(11) there are credible reports of many Ti-
betans being incarcerated in labor camps
and prisons and killed for the nonviolent ex-
pression of their religious and political be-
liefs;
(12) His Holiness the Dalai Lama, spiritu-
al and temporal leader of the Tibetan
people, in conjunction with the 140,000 refu-
gees forced into exile with him, has worked
tirelessly for almost 30 years to secure peace
and religious freedom in Tibet, as well as
the preservation of the Tibetan culture;
(13) in 1959, 1961, and 1965, the United
Nations General Assembly called upon the
People's Republic of China to end the viola-
tions of Tibetans' human rights;
(14) on July 24, 1985, 91 Members of the
Congress signed a letter to President Li
Xiannian of the People's Republic of China
expressing support for direct talks between
Beijing and representatives of His Holiness
the Dalai Lama and the Tibetans in exile,
and urging the Government of the People's
Republic of China "to grant the very reason-
able and justified aspirations of His Holi-
ness the Dalai Lama and his people every
consideration"
(15) on September 27, 1987, the chairman
and ranking minority member of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, the chairman
and ranking minority member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, and the Co-
Chairman of the Congressional Human
Rights Caucus signed a letter to his Excel-
lency Zhao Ziyang, the Prime Minister of
the People's Republic of China, expressing
their "grave concern with the present situa-
tion in Tibet and welcome(d) His Holiness
the Dalai Lama's (five point) proposal as a
historic step toward resolving the important
question of Tibet and alleviating the suffer-
ing of the Tibetan people . (and)
expressfing) their ,full support for his pro-
posal. and
(16) there has been no positive response by
the Government of the People's Republic of
China to either of these communications.
(b) S771TEMENT of PoLictrs.-It is the sense
of the Congress that-
(1) the United States should express sym-
pathy for those Tibetans who have suffered
and died as a result of fighting, persecution,
or famine over the past four decades,,
(2) the United States should make the
treatment of the Tibetan people an impor-
tant factor in its conduct of relations with
the People's Republic of China;
(34 the Government of the Peoples Repub-
lic of China should respect internationally
recognized human rights and end human
rights violations against Tibetans;
(4) the United States should urge the Gov-
ernment of the People's Republic of China to
actively reciprocate the Dalai Laweeb efforts
to establish a constructive dialogue an the
future of Ti bet;
(5) Tibetan culture and religion should be
preserved and the Dalai Lama should be
commended for his efforts in this regard;
(6) the United States, through the Secre-
tary of State, should address and call atten-

SEC: 1241. SUPPORT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELF-DETER-
MINATION FOR THE CAMBODIAN
PEOPLE.
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, in
violation of its obligations under interna-
tional law including the United Nations
Charter, invaded Cambodia in December
1978;
(2) in January 1979, Vietnam installed a
puppet government in Phnom Penh, Cambo-
dia, headed by Heng Samrin;
(3) eight years later Vietnam continues,
with Soviet backing, to occupy Cambodia
with some 140,000 troops;
(4) by invading and occupying Cambodia,
the Government of the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam violated its obligation, undertaken
upon becoming a member of the United Na-
tions in 1977, not to use force against the
territorial integrity or political independ-
ence of any state;
(5) Vietnam has attempted to submerge
Cambodian culture and heritage through the
settlement of large numbers of Vietnamese
in Cambodia;
(6) human rights observers have noted a
pattern of torture, political detention, inhu-
mane treatment, and other abuses of human
rights by officials of the Vietnamese-backed
puppet Cambodian regime;
(7) the Vietnamese occupation of Cambo-
dia has compounded the hardship and suf-
fering of a people which had previously suf-
fered barbaric crimes of genocide under Pot
Pot's Khmer Rouge and has caused hun-
dreds of thousands of Cambodians to flee
their own country;
(8) in recognition of the illegal occupation
of Cambodia by the Vietnamese, the United
Nations has refused to recognize the creden-
tials of the Heng Samrin regime and has in-
stead continued to recognize the credentials
Qf the Government in Exile led by Prince
Norodom Sihanouk;
(9) the member states of the United Na-
tions for the eighth time, and by a record
vote, approved a resolution at the forty-
second session of the General Assembly call-
ing for the withdrawal of foreign troops
from Cambodia;
(10) the 1981 United Nations-sponsored
International Conference on Kampuchea
called for the early withdrawal of foreign
troops and the holding of free elections
under United Nations supervision;
(11) the Government of the Socialist Re-
public of Vietnam has thus far rejected the
efforts of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations and supported by the United States
to resolve the situation in Cambodia; and
(12) in the absence of a settlement, the
non-Communist Cambodian forces continue
to wage a war of resistance against Viet-
namese occupation forces.
(b) STATEMENT OF PoLicv.-The Congress-
(1) deplores the continued violation of the
sovereignty and territorial independence of
Cambodia by the Socialist Republic of Viet-
nam;
(2) calls upon the Government of the So-
cialist Republic of Vietnam to immediately
withdraw all of its occupation forces from
Cambodia and to negotiate a settlement
which restores self-determination to the
Cambodian people;
(3) believes that such negotiations and
withdrawal by Vietnam, together with a sat-
isfactory accounting of Americans still
missing in action, would constitute positive
steps that would help facilitate the prospect
of an end to Vietnam's isolation in the
world community and an improvement of
its relations with the United States;
(4) supports the efforts of the member na-
tions of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN), the United Nations Secre-
tary General, and the non-Communist Cam-
bodian people to achieve a political settle-
ment which would include such elements as
internationally supervised free and fair elec-
tions, as well as assurances that there will
be no return to the genocidal policies of the
Pol Pot regime;
(5) supports efforts to establish an inter-
national tribunal to bring to justice those
Khmer Rouge leaders during the reign of Pol
Pot, and any others, responsible for crimes
of genocide against the Cambodian people;
and
(6) calls upon the international commu-
nity to observe a special day of remem-
brance-
(A) in recognition of the suffering of the
Cambodian people under Pot Pot,
(B) in protest of the efforts of Vietnam to
suppress the basic human rights, culture,
and way of life of the Cambodian people,
and
(C) in protest of the illegal occupation of
Cambodia by Vietnamese troops.
SEC. I2ts. HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE PEOPI,Eti RF,PUB-
LIC OF CHINA.
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) the advancement of human rights is a
stated objective of the foreign policy of the
United States;
(2) the constitutional guarantees of free-
dom of speech, press, and peaceful assembly
have not been adequately respected in the
People's Republic of China;
(3) the exercise of religious activities has a
detrimental effect on a participant's civil,
social, and economic status within the Peo-
ple's Republic of China;
(4) the freedom of movement and the free-
dom to form independent trade unions and
other voluntary associations are severely
curtailed;
(5) there have been some encouraging de-
velopments including an effort by the cur-
rent leadership of the People's Republic of
China to develop economic policies without
regard to a rigid application of Maoist ide-
ology; and
(6) the American people desire to extend
their moral support to the struggle for free-
dom and justice within the People's Repub-
lic of China.
(b) SENSE of CONGRESS.-It is the sense of
the Congress that the leadership of the Peo-
ple's Republic of China should take neces-
sary steps toward establishing a more demo-
cratic society, with a free and open political
system that will protect the essential human
rights of all people living within that coun-
try.
SEC. 1249. DEMOCRACY IN TAIWAN.
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that-
(1) stability and peace prevail on the
island of Taiwan and in the Western Pacific
region;
(2) economic vitality, educational ad-
vancement, and social progress have created
conditions favoring the furtherance of de-
mocracy in Taiwan;
(3) the people of Taiwan, in both national
and local elections, have shown themselves
fully capable of participating in a democrat-
ic political process;
(4) the authorities on Taiwan are nurtur-
ing a transition toward more truly demo-
cratic and representative political institu-
tions, although a minority of the seats in the
central legislature and central electoral col-
lege are filled through periodic elections,
with the majority of seats still being held by
individuals who took office in the late
1940s;
(5) on September 28, 1986, Taiwan's demo-
cratic opposition announced the formation
of the Democratic Progressive Party;
H 11325
(6) on October 7, 1986, President Chiang
Ching-kuo, announced that the Kuomintang
intended to end the state of martial law and
to lift the ban on the creation of new politi-
cal parties;
(7) the lifting of martial law in July and
the release of detainees symbolize the grow-
ing respect for human rights and freedom of
expression on Taiwan;
(8) the Kuomintang has indicated a desire
over the next few years to make more repre-
sentative Taiwan's central representative
bodies, to broaden decisionmaking within
the Nationalist Party, to enhance the rule of
law, and to increase the powers of local-level
government; and
(9) our common commitment to democrat-
ic institutions and values is an increasingly
strong bond between the people of the
United States and the People of Taiwan and
an acceleration of progress toward a full de-
mocracy on Taiwan, including full respect
for human rights, will strengthen United
States ties with the people on Taiwan.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.-The Congress-
(1) welcomes the democratic trends emerg-
ing in Taiwan and commends the progress
that has been made recently in advancing
democratic institutions and values;
(2) welcomes the lifting of martial law and
looks forward to the lifting of the ban on
new political parties;
(3) encourages the leaders and peoples of
Taiwan to continue this process with the
aim of consolidating fully democratic insti-
tutions, in particular by-
(A) guaranteeing freedom of speech, ex-
pression, and assembly; and
(B) gradually moving toward a fully repre-
sentative government, including the free
and fair election of all members of all cen-
tral representative bodies; and
(4) requests the American Institute in
Taiwan to convey this Nation's continuing
support for a democratic and prosperous
Taiwan, as stated in the Taiwan Relations
Act, and our encouragement for democracy
to the leaders and the people of Taiwan.

of this Act. The Secretary may submit such

priate.
SEC. 1252. REPORT ON PROGRESS TOWARD A WORLD
SUMMIT ON TERRORISM.
It is the sense of the Congress that the
President should convene a summit meeting
of Western world leaders to adopt a unified
effective program against international ter-
rorism.
SEC. 1251 PROTECTION OF AMERICANS ENDAN-
GERED BY THE APPEARANCE OF
THEIR PLACE OF BIRTH ON THEIR
PASSPORTS.
(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that
some citizens of the United States may be
specialty endangered during a hijacking or
other terrorist incident by the fact that their
place of birth appears on their United States
passports.
(b) D/scUSSIONS.-The Congress urges the
President to enter into discussions with
other countries regarding the feasibility of a
general agreement permitting the deletion of
the place of birth as a required item of infor-
mation on passports.
SE(: 1254. SUPPORT OF MUTUAL DEFENSE ALLI-
ANCES.
(a) FINDrNos.-The Congress makes the Jot-
lowing findings:
(1) Japan, the member nations of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO), and other countries rely heavily on
the United States to protect their national
security under mutual defense alliances.
(2) The United States spends tens of bil-
lions of dollars annually to assist in the de-
fense of allies of the United States.
(3) The financial burden of mutual defense
assumed by many NATO allies and particu-
larly Japan is not commensurate with their
economic resources, and, as a result, the
United States bears a disproportionately
large share of the financial burden of sup-
porting such mutual defense.
(4) While the United States is currently
spending 6.5 percent of its gross national
product on defense, our NATO allies spend
an average of 3.5 percent of their gross na-
tional products on defense and Japan
spends only 1.0 percent of its gross national
product on defense.
(5) United States allies, particularly West
Germany and Japan, have derived tremen.
dous economic benefit from the free trade
system among the Western countries, accu-
mulating in certain cases large payments
surpluses, while protected through military
alliances to which the United States has
made an overwhelming commitment of re-
sources.
(6) The greatest weakness in the ability of
the United States to sustain the mutual de-
fense of the United States and its allies is
not the military capability of the United
States, but rather the economic vulnerabil-
ity of the United States.
(7) The Federal budget deficit must be re-
duced in order to revitalize the economy.
(8) The continued unwillingness of the
allies of the United States to increase their
contributions to the common defense to
more appropriate levels could weaken the
long-term vitality, effectiveness, and cohe-
sion of the alliances between those countries
and the United States.
IN Power.-It is the sense of the Congress
that-
(1) the President should enter into discus-
sions with countries which participate in
mutual defense alliances with the United
States, especially the member nations of
NATO and Japan, for the purpose of reach-
ing an agreement on a more equitable distri-
bution of the burden offinancial support for
the alliances;
(2) the objective of such discussions with
the member nations of NATO and Japan
should be to establish a schedule of increases
in defense spending by our NATO allies and
Japan or a system of offsetting payments
that is designed to achieve, to the maximum
practicable extent, a division of responsibil-
ity for defense spending between those allies
and the United States that is commensurate
with their resources;
(3) the President should report to the Con-
gress, within one year after the date of the
enactment of this Act, on the progress of
such discussions; and
(4) if, in the judgment of the Congress, the
President's report does not reflect substan-
tial progress toward a more equitable distri-
bution of defense expenses among the mem-
bers of a mutual defense alliance, the Con-
gress should review the extent of the distri-
bution of the mutual defense burden among
our allies and consider whether additional
legislation is appropriate.

case basis by the President, after consulta-
tion with the Secretary of the Treasury, after
a thorough review of the circumstances sur-
rounding the conviction or ineligibility to
export and a finding by the President that
appropriate steps have been taken to miti-

"(5) A license to export an item on the
United States Munitions List may not be
issued to a foreign person (other than a for-
eign government).
"(6) The President may require a license
(or other form of authorization) before any
item on the United States Munitions List is
sold or otherwise transferred to the control
or possession of a foreign person or a person
acting on behalf of a foreign person.
"(7) The President shall, in coordination
with law enforcement and national security
agencies, develop standards for identifying
high-risk exports for regular end-use verifi-
cation. These standards shall be published
in the Federal Register and the initial
standards shall be published not later than

' Includes funds reallocated from inman security program.
Funds for this program included in authorization for diplomatic security salaries and expenses.
Regular salaries and expenses
In approving funds for fiscal year 1988,
the committee of conference agreed to pro-
vide the higher Senate funding level for the
regular salaries and expenses account, or
$1,431,908,000, to enable the Department of
State to seek sufficient appropriations to
maintain its current level of operations.
Diplomatic security salaries and expenses
The House bill (sec. 101(b)(1) and sec. 197)
authorizes a total of $390 million for sala-
ries and expenses for the Bureau of Diplo-
matic Security for the continuation of anti-
terrorism security programs and to address
technical security shortcomings at U.S. dip-
lomatic and consular missions abroad. The
Senate amendment authorizes $341 million
for the same purposes. The committee of
conference agreed to fund this account at
$350 million for fiscal year 1988 and $357
million for fiscal year 1989.
With respect to the funding of the pro-
gram for counterterrorism research and de-
velopment, the committee of conference did
not separately authorize funds for this pur-
pose, as in the House bill (sec. 101(b)(3)).
However, the committee of conference fully
expects the executive branch to continue
this important effort with funds provided
for salaries and expenses for the Bureau of
Diplomatic Security.
Fiscal year 1989
With respect to the authorization levels
provided for fiscal year 1989 (see table 1)
the committee of conference generally pro-
vided a 2 percent increase over fiscal year
1988 pursuant to the agreement between
the President and the joint congressional
leadership during the recent budget summit

REDUCTION IN EARMARKS IF APPROPRIATIONS
ARE LESS THAN AUTHORIZATIONS
The House bill (sec. 701) provides that if
the amount appropriated for any fiscal year
pursuant to any authorization provided by
this act is less than the amount of the au-
thorization, the earmarks made by this act
shall be reduced proportionately.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 106) is the
same as the House bill.
TRANSFER OF FUNDS
The Senate amendment (sec. 560) repeals
section 401(a)(4) of the Omnibus Diplomatic
Security and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986
and authorizes the Department of State to
use funds authorized to be appropriated for
salaries and expenses of the Bureau of Dip-
lomatic Security by section 401(a)(1)(A) of
the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Anti-
Terrorism Act of 1986 for any salaries and
expenses purpose.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 107) au-
thorizes the Secretary of State to transfer
to the salaries and expenses account of the
Department of State amounts appropriated
to the Department of State for any fiscal
year, prior to fiscal year 1989, for capital
construction programs. The transfer au-
thority specifically does not apply to any
funds authorized under the Omnibus Diplo-
matic Security and Anti-Terrorism Act of
1986. Furthermore, in any fiscal year, the
aggregate of the amounts transferred under
this section and the amounts appropriated
for salaries and expenses may not exceed
the authorization provided by this act for
that purpose.
COMPLIANCE WITH PRESIDENTIAL-
CONGRESSIONAL SUMMIT AGREEMENT
While the House-Senate conference was
underway, the President and congressional
leaders agreed to an overall funding cap for
the international affairs budget function
150, of which authorizations under this act
are a part. The conference substitute provi-
sion (sec. 108) was agreed to by the commit-
tee an conference to ensure that no funds
authorized by this act may be appropriated
in excess of the limits agreed upon by the
Presidential-Congressional Summit Agree-
ment of November 20, 1987, or any subse-
quent implementing laws.
PROHIBITION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR POLITICAL
PURPOSES
The Senate amendment (sec. 503) prohib-
its funds authorized by this act or any other
act authorizing funds for any entity en-
gaged in any activity concerning the foreign
affairs of the United States from being used
for publicity or propaganda purposes de-
signed to support or defeat legislation pend-
ing before the Congress or to influence in
any way the outcome of a political election.
An officer or employee of the U.S. Govern-
ment who violates or attempts to violate
this section shall be fined not more than
$1,000 or imprisoned for not more than 1
year Or both, and after notice and hearing,
shall be removed from office or employ-
ment.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 109) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but de-
letes the criminal and employment penalties
for violation of this section.
LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN DATA BASE
The Senate amendment (sec. 537) directs
the Secretary of State, in consultation with
the heads of appropriate departments and
agencies of the U.S. Government, to use not
less than $1.3 million from the salaries and
expenses account to provide for the estab-
lishment of a Latin American and Caribbe-
an data base. The Senate amendment also
requires that any new contractual agree-
ment entered into shall be subject to full
and open competition, and that the Secre-
tary of State shall ensure that the funds are
not awarded to maintain services that are
significantly duplicative of existing services.
The House bill (sec. 136) contains a simi-
lar provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 110) com-
bines the two provisions and specifies that
the data base referred to is dealing with on-
line bibliographic data.
PART B-DEPARTMENT OF STATE AUTHORITIES
AND ACTIVITIES; FOREIGN MISSIONS REPRO-
GRAMMING OF FUNDS APPROPRIATED FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
The House bill (sec. 123) amends section
34 of the State Department Basic Authori-
ties Act of 1956 to prohibit the reprogram-
ming of any funds during the last 15 days in
which such funds are available, unless
notice of such reprogramming is made
before that period.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 121) is the
same as the House bill.
CONSULAR AND DIPLOMATIC POSTS ABROAD
The Senate amendment (sec. 107) prohib-
its the use of funds authorized by this or
any other act to pay the expenses related to
the closing of any U.S. mission or consulate
abroad or to pay any expenses related to the
Bureau of Administration or any of its func-
tions if any U.S. consulate or mission is
closed after January 1, 1987 and not re-
opened. This provision does not apply to
any post closed due to a break or downgrad-
ing in relations, a post where there is a real
and present threat to Americans in the city
where the post is located, or where the post
is closed to open one of a higher priority
and the total number of consulates and mis-
sions abroad is not less than the number
that existed on January 1, 1987.
In addition, the Senate amendment also
fences off $50 million of the funds author-
ized for the administration of foreign affairs
subject to the reopening of the specified
U.S. consulates. With the reopening of the
specified consulates, funds not needed for
the operations of the consulates may be
used for other purposes.
The House bill (sec. 144) contains a com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 122) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but adds
additional criteria which provides an excep-
tion when a host government will not allow
the post to be reopened and which permits
the Secretary of State to submit a report
proposing a list of posts to be downgraded
or closed in the event of a sequestration
order under the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings
deficit reduction legislation.
CLOSING OF DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR POSTS
IN ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA
The House bill (sec. 141) prohibits the use
of funds authorized for the Department of
State for any fiscal year for the expenses of

maintaining a U.S. diplomatic or consular
post in Antigua and Barbuda.
The Senate amendment (sec. 567) contains
an identical provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 123) is
similar to the House bill, but allows for a
Presidential waiver of this section on na-
tional security grounds.
The committee of conference notes that
the expenses incurred in maintaining the
U.S. Embassy in Antigua and Barbuda is far
in excess of a reasonable expense needed to
conduct necessary relations with a country
whose population is less than 70,000. The
need for the current level of staffing with
full-time, resident American diplomats has
not been convincingly demonstrated. The
committee of conference directs the Depart-
ment of State to undertake a comprehensive
review of the staffing levels in Antigua and
Barbuda with a view toward reducing the
present staffing levels by 60 percent or
more.
REPORT ON EXPENDITURES MADE FROM APPRO-
PRIATION FOR EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLO-
MATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE
The Senate amendment (sec. 101(c)) di-
rects the Secretary of State to provide the
Committee on Foreign Affairs and Commit-
tee on Appropriations of the House of Rep-
resentatives and the Committee on Foreign
Relations and Committee on Appropriations
of the Senate a quarterly report on expendi-
tures made from the appropriation for
Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consul-
ar Service.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 124) is the
same as the Senate amendment.
REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO GIFTS USED FOR
REPRESENTATIONAL PURPOSES
The House bill (sec. 126) amends section
25(b) of the State Department Basic Au-
thorities Act of 1956 to prohibit the expend-
iture of gift funds for representational pur-
poses except in accordance with the same
conditions that apply to appropriated funds.
The Senate amendment contains no com.
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 125) is the
same as the House bill. This provision
allows the Department of State to apply
either the restrictions applied to representa-
tional expenditures made from the funds
authorized to be appropriated under para-
graph 101(a)(3) of this act or the restric-
tions applied to expenditures authorized to
be appropriated under paragraph 101(a)(4).
The Department is directed under this sec-
tion to adopt regulations which strictly con-
form to this section with respect to section
101(a)(4). The committee of conference also
stresses that nothing in this section should
be construed to mandate that the Depart-
ment of State must modify more stringent
restrictions currently in force.
PROTECTION OF HISTORIC AND ARTISTIC FUR-
NISHINGS OF RECEPTION AREAS OF THE DE-
PARTMENT OF STATE
The Senate amendment (sec. 131 and sec.
132) amends the State Department Basic
Authorities Act of 1956 to provide authority
for the Secretary of State to preserve the
historic style and quality of designated
areas of the Department of State building,
to authorize the Secretary to sell items
which are not needed and trade or purchase
articles which enhance the museum charac-
ter of the rooms, and to give the Depart-
ment of State the same authority to insure
items purchased for reception rooms as it
now has to insure items that are loaned or
donated.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 126) com-
bines the two provisions while consolidating
and modifying the provisions to stress the
historic and artistic nature of the designat-
ed areas. The conference substitute also
makes clear that the purpose of the provi-
sion is to leave the areas for the use of the
American people. The conference substitute
also provides that the administration of this
section should not conflict with the admin-
istration of the Department of State or with
the use of the reception areas for official
purposes of the U.S. Government. The com-
mittee of conference stresses that such use
includes use by all three branches of the
Federal Government.
INCLUSION OF COERCIVE POPULATION CONTROL
INFORMATION IN ANNUAL HUMAN RIGHTS
REPORT
The House bill (sec. 131) amends the For-
eign Assistance Act to include information
on coercive population control, including co-
erced abortion, in the Department of State's
annual country report on human rights
practices.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 127) is
similar to the House bill, but specifies that
information on coerced abortion and invol-
untary sterilization be provided wherever
applicable.
LIMITATION ON USE OF A FOREIGN MISSION IN A
MANNER INCOMPATIBLE WITH ITS STATUS AS A
FOREIGN MISSION
The House bill (sec. 128) amends the State
Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956
to prohibit the use of a foreign mission for
any purpose incompatible with its status as
a foreign mission, including use as a resi-
dence for unaffiliated aliens. The Secretary
of State may waive this provision if he pro-
vides written notification of such a waiver
30 days in advance which includes the rea-
sons for such a waiver. The House bill also
requires an annual report not later than
February 1 of each year on the implementa-
tion of this section.
The Senate (sec. 563) contains a similar
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 128) is
similar to the House bill but changes the
annual reporting requirement to a one time
report 180 days after the date of enactment,
and such other reports concerning changes
in implementation that may be necessary.
ALLOCATION OF SHARED COSTS AT MISSIONS
ABROAD
The House bill (sec. 129) directs the Secre-
tary of State to review, and revise if neces-
sary, the allocation procedures under which
agencies reimburse the Department of State
for shared adminstrative costs at U.S. mis-
sions abroad in order to provide for full re-
imbursement of such costs. The House bill
also requires the Secretary to submit a
report within 3 months after the date of en-
actment to the Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs of the House of Representatives and
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate on such review and revision.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 129) is the
same as the House bill.
PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF FUNDS FOR FACILI-
TIES IN ISRAEL, JERUSALEM, OR THE WEST
BANK
The Senate amendment (see. 136) prohib-
its the obligation or expenditure of any
funds authorized by this act or any amend-
ment made by this act for site acquisition,
development, or construction of any facility
in Israel, Jerusalem, or the West Bank.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 130) pro-
hibits the obligation or expenditure of
funds authorized by title I of this act for
the acquisition, development, or construc-
tion of any new diplomatic facility in Israel,
Jerusalem, or the West Bank. This section is
not meant to apply to security upgrades at
existing diplomatic facilities or nonsecurity
related construction, such as the new Voice
of America transmitter facility.
PURCHASING AND LEASING OF RESIDENCES
The Senate amendment (sec. 540) contains
congressional findings regarding the pur-
chasing and leasing of overseas residences
and expresses the sense of the Congress fa-
voring the purchase of residences over the
leasing of residences.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 131) ex-
presses the sense of the Congress that the
Secretary of State should include in the
fiscal year 1989 congressional budget pres-
entations information on the advantages
and disadvantages of purchasing rather
than leasing properties.
PROHIBITION ON ACQUISITION OF HOUSE FOR
SECRETARY OF STATE
The Senate amendment (sec. 569) prohib-
its the Department of State from soliciting
or receiving funds for the construction, pur-
chase, lease, or rental of, or any gift or be-
quest of real property for the purpose of
providing living quarters for the Secretary
of State.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 132) is
similar to the Senate amendment, with
technical modifications.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE FREEDOM OF
EXPRESSION
The Senate amendment (sec. 546) states
that it is not in the national security inter-
est of the United States for Department of
State to declare itself a foreign mission and
prohibits the Department from doing so.
The House bill - contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 133) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but
makes a technical correction to eliminate
the provisions designation as a separate act.
REPEAL OF OFFICE OF POLICY AND PROGRAM
REVIEW
The Senate amendment (sec. 115) amends
the Diplomatic Security Act to repeal the
Office of Policy and Program Review of the
Department of State.

provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 134) is the
same as the Senate amendment.
STUDIES AND PLANNING FOR A CONSOLIDATED
TRAINING FACILITY FOR THE FOREIGN SERVICE
INSTITUTE
The Senate amendment (sec. 137) amends
the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
fiscal years 1986 and 1987 to extend the au-
thorization for the Secretary of State to
transfer up to $11 million of the funds au-
thorized for the administration of foreign
affairs to the Administrator of General
Services for carrying out feasibility studies,
site preparation, and design, architectural,
and engineering planning of a consolidated
training facility for the Foreign Service In-
stitute.

provision.

H 11332 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE December 14, 1987
The conference substitute (sec. 1350 is the
same as :the Senate .amendment.
RESTRICTION OF SUPERVISION OF GOVERNMENT
EMPLOYEES BY CHIEFS OF MISSION
The House bill (sec. 158) amends the For-
eign Service of 1980 to provide an exemp-
tion to current law regarding a chief of mis-
sion's authority in a foreign country with
respect to all U.S. Government employees In
that country. Specifically, It states that the
chief of mission's authorities and responsi-
bilities regarding U.S. Government employ-
ees shall not affect the performance of offi-
cial duties by Members?of Congress, employ-
ees of the Congress, or employees of the
General Accounting Office.
The Senate amendment (sec. 111) isaimi-
lar to the House bill, but clarifies that the
chief of mission's responsibilities and au-
thorities are, under the system of separa-
tion of powers, limited to U.S. Government
employees serving in the executive branch,
and clarifies that only executive branch
agencies must keep the chief of mission in-
formed with respect to the activities of its
employees in that country.
The conference substitute (sec. 136) is the
same as the Senate provision. The commit-
tee of conference notes that the General Ac-
counting Office is not an executive branch
agency and therefore the staff of the GAO
is not required to be under the direction of
the chief of mission.
STUDY AND REPORT CONCERNING THE STATUS OF
INDIVIDUALS WITH DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY IN
THE UNITED STATES
The Senate amendment (secs. 1001 to

quires the Secretary of State to undertake a
study and compile a report setting forth -the
extent of the problem arising from diplo-
matic immunity from criminal prosecution

dressing the problem. The report is to sub-
mitted to the Committees on Foreign Af-
fairs and on the Judiciary of the House of
Representatives and the Committees on
Foreign Relations and on the Judiciary of
the Senate within 90 days of the date of en-
actment of this act.
FEDERAL JURISDICTION Or DIRECT ACTIONS
AGAINST INSURERS OF DIPLOMATIC AGENTS
The Senate amendment (sec. 502) provides
that a direct action may be brought against
an insurer of a member of a mission, or
family member of such a member, after a
member has left the diplomatic service. The
insurer is subject to a civil action as long as
the individual insured was a member of a
mission, or a family member to such a
member, at'-the time of the tortious act.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 138:) is the
same as the Senate amendment.
ENFORCEMENT OF CASE-ZABLOCKI ACT
REQUIREMENTS
The Senate amendment (sec. 501) prohib-
its funding for any international 'agreement
the text of which is required to be transmit-
ted to Congress under section 112b(a) of
title I, U.S.C. (known as the Case-Zablocki
Act) if such agreement has not been submit-
ted to the Congress under the requirements
of that section.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 139) is
similar to the Senate amendment with an
amendment making the prohibition a 2-year
prohibition for fiscal years 1988 and 1989.
The conference substitute also allows the
executive branch 60 days before the prohibi-
tion applies to submit all agreements which
have not been submitted pursuant to sec-
tion 112b(a) of the Case-Zablocki Act.
For agreements entered into by the
Agency for International Development on
behalf of the U.S. Government, the Case-
Zablacki Act requirements will be deemed to
have been met if cable confirmation of the
signing of such agreements, including the
amount obligated, is submitted to the Con-
gress within the '60-day period provided for
in the Case-Zablocki Act.
ANNUAL COUNTRY REPORTS ON TERRORISM
The House bill (sec.- 130) requires the
transmission of annual country reports pro-
viding detailed assessments with respect to
certain foreign countries antiterrorism ef-
forts, including their efforts with respect to
airport security and training of antiterror-
ism forces; their judicial response with re-
spect to international terrorism; the extent
of their support for international terrorism;
and their positions in international fora on
questions relating to International terror-
ism.
The Senate bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 140) pro-
vides that certain information requested in
the original House bill, relating to the re-
sponse of the judicial system in the relevant
countries, need be provided only with re-
spect to matters relating to acts of interna-
tional terrorism affecting American citizens
or facilities or which have a significant
impact of U.S. counterterrorism efforts.
The conference substitute also requires
the Secretary of State to report all relevant
information about the activities of certain
terrorist groups and their subgroups, identi-
fying foreign governments which provide
significant financial support, significant
military assistance, diplomatic recognition
or privileges, and sanctuary from prosecu-
tion to such terrorist groups. The commit-
tee of .conference intends this report to
cover such known terrorist groups as the
PLO and its ancillary groups, the PFLP,
Abu Nidal, DFLP, Saiqu, the Red Army Fac-
tion, and the Red Brigade.
The conference substitute also provides
that the first annual report be provided to
Congress by August 31, 1988 and that this
report cover events occurring between June
1, 1987 and May 31, 1928. The committee of
conference expects that the report required
under this section will be prepared with as-
sistance from the Ambassador-at-Large for
Counterterrorism, and may be submitted as
part of the annual report on global patterns
of terrorism. Further, the committee of con-
ference expects the Department of State

and other relevant agencies to provide suffi-
cient resources and personnel to assure that
this report is comprehensive and made
available in conformity with this section.
RESTRICTION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR "PUBLIC
DIPLOMACY" EFFORTS
The Senate amendment (sec. 109) prohib-
its the Department of State from entering
into contracts or purchase orders for the
provision of a variety of public relations ac-
tivities, except within the Bureau of Public
Affairs, and limits the Bureau's ability to
contract for such services to $389,000 annu-
ally.
The House bill (sec. 135) contains a relat-
ed provision which provides that during
fiscal years 1988 and 1989, a contract related
to advocacy and policy positions may be en-
tered into by or on behalf of the Office of
Public Diplomacy, or the Office of the Coor-
dinator for Public Diplomacy for Latin
America and the Caribbean, of the Depart-
ment of State only if the Committee on For-
eign Affairs of the House of Representatives
and the Committee on Foreign Relations of
the Senate are notified 15 days in advance
of the proposed contract.
The conference substitute (sec. 141) com-
bines the two provisions. To the extent that
this section refers to refugees, the commit-
tee of conference does not intend this sec-
tion to interfere with any programs of the
Bureau for Refugee Affairs to provide refu-
gees with information or support services
that will assist in their resettlement in the
United States.
AUTHORITY TO INVEST AND RECOVER EXPENSES
FROM INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS SETTLEMENT
FUNDS
The Senate amendment (sec. 505) author-
izes the Department of the Treasury to
invest funds paid by foreign governments in
claims settlement cases, pending disbursal
to U.S. citizens. It would also require the
Secretary of State to deduct 5 percent from
the amount of a settlement to cover the
costs of obtaining the settlement and proc-
essing claims, which would be returned to
the U.S. Treasury.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 142) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but de-
letes the authority for the Secretary of
State to deduct 5 percent from the amount
of the settlement.
REGIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL BUREAUS OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF STATE
The House bill (sec. 122) directs the
Comptroller General of the United States to
submit a report on the organization to the
regional and functional bureaus of the De-
partment of State to the Committee on For-
eign Affairs of the House of Representatives
and the Committee on Foreign Relations of
the Senate within 6 months after the date
of enactment of this act. The Comptroller
General shall make recommendations as he
determines reasonable for improving the or-
ganizational structure of the Department.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision. In deleting this provision, the com-
mittee of conference notes that it is already
within its power to request such a study as
directed by the House provision.
U.S. PRODUCED FOOD AND BEVERAGES
The House bill (sec. 125) reaffirms exist-
ing law which requires, to the maximum
extent practicable, that food and beverages
served at U.S. diplomatic functions be prod-
ucts of agricultural commodities produced
in the United States.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision. However, the committee of confer-
ence reaffirms congressional commitment to
section 905 of the Foreign Service Act of
1980 which requires, to the maximum
extent practicable, the use of U.S. products
for entertainment at U.S. posts overseas.
IMPLEMENTATION OF GRACE COMMISSION
REPORT
The House bill (sec. 140) directs the Secre-
tary of State to submit a report to the Con-
gress within 6 months after the date of en-
actment on the extent to which the recom-
mendations of the Grace Commission have
been implemented by the Department of
State.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision. However, the committee of confer-
ence urges the Secretary of State to consid-
er implementing those recommendations of
the Grace Commission which apply to the
Department of State.
DIPLOMATIC SECURITY OFFICER OF A
DIPLOMATIC OR CONSULAR POST
The House bill (sec. 127) amends the Dip-
lomatic Security Act to provide that the dip-
lomatic security officer shall: as a member
of the country team report directly to the
deputy chief of mission; head the emergen-
cy action committee of that mission if desig-
nated by the chief of mission; submit a
monthly written report to the chief of mis-
sion on the status of the security program;
and be responsible for the status of all dip-
lomatic security personnel.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision in light of the decision of the commit-
tee of conference to defer all reorganization
proposals until after a thorough review of
the Department of State's organization is
completed.
CONDUCT OF FOREIGN POLICY
The Senate amendment (sec. 123) ex-
presses the sense of Congress that the
United States should strengthen, through
various means, the competence and profes-
sionalism of the conduct of foreign policy.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision. The committee of conference notes
that the new national training center in for-
eign affairs, authorized by chapter 7 of the
Foreign Service Act of 1980 is cost effective
and will provide the United States with sig-
nificant new capabilities to meet the goal of
the Senate amendment. The committee of
conference urges the Secretary of State to
proceed with architectural and engineering
design for this national training center.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR SOUTH ASIA
The House bill (sec. 133) establishes
within the Department of State the position
of Assistant Secretary for South Asian Af-
fairs, who shall have responsibility for
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka,
Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and Maldives.
The House bill also requires the President
to transfer $1.75 million to the salaries and
expenses account from the development as-
sistance and economic support fund ac-
counts which are allocated for Asia and
Near East regional programs for expenses
incurred in carrying out this section.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision in light of the decision of the com-
mittee of conference to defer all reorganiza-
tion proposals until after a thorough review
of the Department of State's organization is
completed.

Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative
and Intergovernmental Relations shall pos-
sess and exercise full authority and respon-
sibility for all activities, personnel, and re-
sources within the Department of State In-
volving congressional relations. The House
bill also directs the Secretary of State to
consolidate all congressional relations func-
tions directly under the Assistant Secretary.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-

PART C-DIPLOMATIC RECIPROCITY AND
SECURITY
SOVIET EMBASSY AGREEMENT; PROHIBITION ON
USE OF MOUNT ALTO SITE
The House bill (Sec. 185) requires the
United States to withdraw from the con-
struction and site exchange agreements
with the Soviet Union governing the con-
struction of new embassies by both coun-
tries in 1 year and 10 days after enactment,
unless the President exercises certain waiv-
ers provided. No earlier than 6 months after
enactment, the President is empowered to
waive this requirement if he determines (a)
that it was vital to the national security of
the United States not to withdraw, (b) that
steps have been or will be taken to ensure
that the new U.S. chancery in Moscow can
be safely and securely occupied and used for
its intended purpose, and (c) that steps have
been or will be taken by October 1, 1989 to
eliminate damage to the national security of
the United States due to electronic surveil-
lance from Soviet facilities on Mount Alto.
The United States is required to notify the
Soviet Government of these provisions
within 5 days of enactment of this act. If
the withdrawal occurs, the Mount Alto site
ceases to be available for use by any foreign
mission.
The Senate amendment (sees. 135 and
550) also requires the United States to void
the agreements but provides no discretion
to the President to waive this action. The
United States is required to enter Into nego-
tiations for a new agreement that would re-
quire the Soviet Union to move its new Em-
bassy to a site not more than 90 feet above
mean sea level, but does not specify when or
if the Mount Alto site would actually cease
to be available to the Soviets pending the
outcome of the new negotiations. In addi-
tion, the Senate amendment mandates a
number of reports pertaining to United
States-Soviet Embassy agreement.
The conference substitute (sec. 1515) di-
rects the President to make certain determi-
nations, 6 months after the enactment of
this act, regarding the security of the new
U.S. Embassy in Moscow and the presence
of the Soviet Embassy on Mount Alto in
Washington, DC. If the President is unable
to make the determinations de.,cribed
below, the Secretary of State shall notify
the Government of the Soviet Union that
the United States will withdraw from the
United States-Soviet Embassy Agreement,
and that the Mount Alto site will cease to be
available to that Government. The U.S.
withdrawal and the unavailability of Mount
Alto will be effective 1 year and 10 days
after the earliest date on which the Presi-
dent could have made the determinations.
The committee of conference intends this
language to provide the President with a re-
alistic waiver option provided he can deter-
mine that all feasible and effective steps are
being or will be taken to secure our Embassy
in Moscow and to remove the threat to U.S.
national security from the Soviet occupa-

tion of the Mount Alto site. This waiver
does not become effective until 30 days after
the report of the determinations and waiver
is filed with Congress to allow the opportu-
nity for congressional review of the Presi-
dent's determination. The report is to In-
clude a detailed justification for each of the
determinations, an assessment of the impact
on national security of the removal of the
Soviet Embassy from Mount Alto, and the
steps that have been or will be taken to
achieve the security objectives in the new
chanceries In Moscow and on Mount Alto.
The committee of conference notes that
the Joint United States-Soviet Summit
Statement made by President Reagan and
General Secretary Gorbachev on December
10, 1987 contained the following with re-
spect to the security of diplomatic missions:
"Both sides agreed on the importance of
adequate, secure facilities for their respec-
tive diplomatic and consular establishments,
and emphasized the need to approach prob-
lems relating to the functioning of Embas-
sies and Consulates General constructively
on the basis of reciprocity."
RECOVERY OF DAMAGES INCURRED AS A RESULT
OF SOVIET INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES DIRECT-
ED AT THE NEW U.S. EMBASSY IN MOSCOW.
The House bill (sec. 186) contains a provi-
sion urging that the United States-Soviet
arbitration, which is already underway to
recover damages from construction delays
of the new U.S. Embassy in Moscow, be ex-
panded to include reimbursement for costs
incurred by the United States for the Soviet
compromise of that facility.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (Sec. 152) is the
same as the House bill, except for the re-
moval of the phrase "be expanded to" in re-
ferring to the recovery of costs for Soviet in-
telligence activities.
UNITED STATES-SOVIET RECIPROCITY IN
MATTERS RELATING TO EMBASSIES
The House bill (sec. 187) directs the Secre-
tary of State to use his authorities under
title II of the State Department Basic Au-
thorities Act so that, by October 1, 1989,
U.S. diplomatic and consular missions in the
Soviet Union:
Do not pay more than the fair value for
goods and services;
Have full access to goods and services, in-
cluding utilities; and
Have real property, used for residential
and office purposes, equivalent, in terms of
quantity and quality, to the real property
available to the Soviet diplomatic and con-
sular missions to the United States.
Furthermore, the House bill directs the
Secretary of State to require the Soviet
Union to close such facilities which is in the
aggregate not less than 20 percent of the
difference between the total square footage
occupied by the Soviet mission in the
United States and the total square footage
occupied by the U.S. mission to the Soviet
Union.
Finally, the House bill prohibits the
Soviet mission to the United States to
occupy a new consulate here until the U.S.
mission to the Soviet Union is occupying
secure facilities in Kiev.
The Senate amendment (sec. 133) directs
the Secretary to submit an annual report on
the cost of operating diplomatic and consul-
ar missions in the Soviet Union or in a
member country of the Warsaw Pact. When
these costs are found not to bear reasonable
realtionship to the norm in any country, the
Secretary is directed to adjust the costs to
such country of any benefits received in the
United States. Finally, 60 days after the
date of enactment, the Secretary of State
shall report to Congress on plans for the im-
plementation of this section.
The conference substitute (sec. 153) is
similar to the House bill except that the
provision requiring the closing of Soviet fa-
cilities in the United States was dropped,
and the Soviet mission to the United Na-
tions is excluded from the base when calcu-
lating Soviet real estate in the United
States.
REPORT ON PERSONNEL OF SOVIET STATE
TRADING ENTERPRISES
The House bill (sec. 188) requires the Sec-
retary of State to submit a report to Con-
gress regarding the desirability of reducing
the number of personnel at Soviet State
Trading enterprises in the United States.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 154) is the
same as the House bill.
PERSONNEL SECURITY PROGRAM FOR EMBASSIES
IN HIGH THREAT COUNTRIES
The House bill (sec. 190) directs the Secre-
tary of State to establish a special security
program for personnel of the Department
of State assigned to diplomatic missions in
high intelligence threat countries. Such a
program shall include criteria and policies
for selection and screening, counterintelli-
gence awareness and training, and security
reporting and command arrangements de-
signed to counter intelligence threats.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 155) is
similar to the House provision. The report
shall also include criteria and policies with
respect to rest and recuperative absences.
ACCOUNTABILITY REVIEW BOARDS
The House bill (sec. 191) amends the Dip-
lomatic Security Act to provide for the con-
vening of review boards in cases involving
serious breach of security involving intelli-
gence activities of a foreign government di-
rected at a U.S. mission abroad.
The Senate amendment (sec. 135(d)(2))
amends existing law, as in the House ver-
sion. In addition, the Senate provision au-
thorizes the Secretary of State to delay the
convening of a board if doing so would com-
promise sources and methods.
The conference substitute (sec. 156) is
similar to the Senate amendment. However,
it requires the Secretary to consult with the
appropriate committees of Congress prior to
any decision to delay the convening of an
accountability review board.
PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN EMPLOYMENT AT U.S.
DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR MISSIONS IN COM-
MUNIST COUNTRIES.
The House bill (sec. 192) prohibits the em-
ployment of Foreign Service Nationals
(ESN's) at U.S. diplomatic and consular fa-
cilities in any Communist country, effective
September 30, 1989. In addition, it expresses
the willingness of Congress to provide neces-
sary funds for the implementation of the
prohibition.
The Senate amendment (sec. 525) prohib-
its the employment of ESN's at U.S. diplo-
matic and consular facilities in any Commu-
nist country, effective September 30, 1989.
The conference substitute (sec. 157),
which becomes effective on September 30,
1990, prohibits the emloyment of FSN's in
areas of diplomatic and consular missions
and compounds where classified materials
are maintained. The committee of confer-
ence urges the Department of State to make
efforts to provide facilities, from which
ESN's would be prohibited, that house the
core embassy operations, which would com-
prise all classified activities and other sensi-
tive operations. The conference substitute
also includes a waiver which the President
may exercise in the event (a) funds are nei-
ther authorized nor appropriated for the
purpose of implementing this provision, or
(b) if he determines that it is in the national
security interest of the United States to
continue to employ such foreign national
employees in circumstances otherwise pro-
hibited by this provision.
Finally, the conference substitute directs
the Secretary of State to submit, as a part
of the fiscal year 1990-91 budget request a
report on the feasibility of the implementa-
tion of this section as well as Its budgetary
impact.
TERMINATION OF RETIREMENT BENEFITS FOR
FOREIGN NATIONAL EMPLOYEES ENGAGING IN
HOSTILE INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
The Senate amendment (sec. 525(b)) di-
rects the Secretary of State to exercise
available authorities to ensure the United
States does not provide, directly or indirect-
ly, any retirment benefits to a present or
former foreign national employee of a U.S.
diplomatic mission who the Secretary of
State reasonably believes engaged in intelli-
gence activities directed against the United
States. The Secretary of State may waive
this provision, on a case-by-case basis, if the
Director of Central Intelligence requests
such a waiver, or the Secretary determines
that such waiver is vital to the national se-
curity interests of the United States.
The House bill (sec. 193) contains a simi-
lar provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 158) is the
same as the Senate amendment. The com-
mittee of conference notes that subchapter
II of chapter 83 of title 5, United States
Code provides for the forfeiture of annuities
and retired pay to individuals convicted of
certain serious crimes, including espionage,
disclosure of classified information, and sab-
otage. Insofar as a foreign national employ-
ee is eligible for a retirement benefit to
which subchapter II applies the Secretary
of State must utilize the procedures of this
subchapter to terminate benefits. The com-
mittee of conference urges the Secretary of
State to use this authority and such other
authorities as he has available in situations
in which foreign nationals receive retire-
ment benefits not covered by this subchap-
ter.
REPORT ON EMPLOYMENT OF FOREIGN SERVICE
NATIONALS
The House bill (sec. 194) requires the Sec-
retary of State to report to Congress not
later than 6 months after the date of enact-
ment on the advisability of employing for-
eign service nationals at U.S. diplomatic and
consular posts abroad.
The Senate amendment (sec. 525(c)) con-
tains a similar provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 159) re-
quires the Secretary of State to consult with
the Secretaries of Commerce and Agricul-
ture, and the Directors of Central Intelli-
gence, the United States Information
Agency, and the Peace Corps in compiling
the report on the employment of foreign
service nationals, and to include in the
report information on the access of such
employees to automatic data processing sys-
tems and networks.
CONSTRUCTION SECURITY CERTIFICATION
The Senate amendment (secs. 135(a),
135(e), 135(g). 538, 539, and 554) contains
numerous reporting requirements pertain-
ing to the security program of diplomatic
missions abroad, and to the security of con-
struction projects and other related issues.
The House bill contains no comparable
provisions.

rects the Secretary of State to certify to

Congress, before undertaking any new con-
struction project, that (a) appropriate steps
have been taken to secure the construction
project, and (b) that the resulting facility
will incorporate adequate security measures
for the protection of national security infor-
mation and personnel.
PROTECTION FROM FUTURE HOSTILE
INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES
The House bill (sec. 199) prohibits the ac-
quisition of real property in the United
States by or on behalf of a foreign mission
of certain foreign countries if in the judg-
ment of either the Secretary of Defense or
the Director of the Federal Bureau of Inves-
tigation such acquisition might substantial-
ly improve that country's ability to engage
in intelligence activities hostile to U.S. na-
tional security interests.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 161) is
similar to the House bill language but
makes clear that this provision is not in-
tended to prevent the establishment of a
foreign mission by a country which, on the
date of enactment, does not have a mission
in the United States or to prevent a country
from opening a consular mission in a city in
which it does not currently have such a mis-
sion.
APPLICATION OF TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS TO PER-
SONNEL OF CERTAIN COUNTRIES AND ORGANI-
ZATIONS
The House bill (sec. 146) limits the travel
of certain foreign personnel in the United
States to within the municipal areas in
which they are located. The personnel af-
fected include all foreign employees of
international organizations; officials from
certain foreign countries at their embassies
and consulates or missions to international
organizations; and personnel of certain for-
eign organizations.
The countries whose missions are affected
under the House bill include all Communist
countries (except Albania), Iran, Libya, and
Nicaragua. The foreign organizations affect-
ed include the African National Congress,
the Palestine Liberation Organization, and
the South West African People's Organiza-
tion. In addition, the House bill allows for a
waiver of this provision by the Secretary of
State after consultation with the Directors
of Central Intelligence and of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation based on U.S. na-
tional security and foreign policy interests.
The Senate amendment (sec. 533) applies
the same restrictions, including travel re-
strictions, as are applied to Soviet missions
in the United States to all personnel of for=
eign missions (including embassies, consul-
ates, and missions of international organiza-
tions) from Warsaw Pact countries and
Cuba. The Senate amendment also allows
for a Presidential waiver based on national
security and foreign policy consideration in
specific circumstances provided such a
waiver is reported to the Intelligence Com-
mittees of the House of Representatives and
the Senate. In addition, the Senate amend-
ment requires the Secretary of State to
report to these committees 6 months after
the date of enactment on the implementa-
tion of this section.
The conference substitute (sec. 162) im-
poses travel restrictions on those individuals
who, as determined by the Secretary of
State, are (1) personnel of an international
organization, if the individual is a national
of a foreign country whose government en-
gages in intelligence activities in the United
States that are harmful to the national se-
curity interests of the United States, or (2)
personnel of a mission to an international
organization, if that mission is the mission
of a foreign government that engages in in-
telligence activities in the United States
that are harmful to the national security in-
terests of the United States.
The conference substitute provides for a
waiver of this provision by the Secretary of
State in consultation with the Directors of
Central Intelligence and of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation on national security
and foreign policy grounds and requires the
Secretary to report every 6 months to the
Committees on Foreign Affairs and on In-
telligence of the House of Representatives
and the Committee on Foreign Relations
and on Intelligence of the Senate every 6
months on the implementation of this sec-
tion.
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE POLYGRAPH SCREENING
OF DIPLOMATIC SECURITY SERVICE PERSONNEL
The House bill (sec. 189) directs the Secre-
tary of State to implement a counterintelli-
gence polygraph examination program for
members of the Diplomatic Security Serv-
ice. The Secretary will establish regulations
providing that the scope and the conduct of
such examinations, and the rights of indi-
viduals subject to such examinations will be
at the very least the same as those under
the counterintelligence polygraph program
conducted pursuant to section 1221 of the
Department of Defense Authorization Act,
1986. The scope is limited to counterintelli-
gence questions only; the same restrictions
imposed on the Department of Defense pro-
gram will apply to the Department of State
including scope, frequency, and duration.
The program is authorized during fiscal
years 1988 and 1989 only.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 163) is the
same as the House bill.
UNITED STATES EMBASSY IN HUNGARY
The House bill (sec. 142) contains a provi-
sion expressing the sense of Congress that
the Department of State should conclude an
agreement with the Government of Hunga-
ry that would allow for the construction of
new embassy facilities in that country
which would totally segregate sensitive ac-
tivities from those of an unclassified and
public-oriented character. Furthermore,
such an agreement should ensure that the
U.S. Government will have the right to
employ only U.S. citizens and will have com-
plete control over across to the construction
sites. The House bill also earmarks $60 mil-
lion to carry out the purposes of this sec-
tion.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 164) is
similar to the House bill, except that the
earmark was removed.
REORGANIZATION
The House bill (sec. 195) establishes a new
Under Secretary for Security, Construction,
Communications and Missions (SCCM).
This consolidates the functions of the
Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), the
Office of Foreign Building Operations
(FBO), the Office of Communications (OC),
and the Office of Foreign Missions (OFM).
The House bill also raises the status of
OFM to a full bureau (sec. 196).
The Senate amendment (sec. 547) calls on
the Department of State to submit an ac-
ceptable security reorganization plan, and,
failing congressional approval of such a
plan, would have established a new Under
Secretary for Security, Construction, and
Foreign Missions:
The conference substitute deletes all new
positions contained in the House bill as well
as the requirement for a reorganization plan
contained in the Senate amendment in light
of the decision of the committee of confer-
ence to defer all reorganization proposals
until after a thorough review of the Depart-
ment of State's organization, which will be
forthcoming in 1988. However, the commit-
tee of conference notes with concern the or-
ganizational problems that have been iden-
tified in the security function of the Depart-
ment of State, as well as the haphazard or-
ganizational growth in the Department in
recent years.
USE OF PRIOR FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR
1988 DIPLOMATIC SECURITY FUNDS
The Senate amendment (sec. 101(b)) per-
mits the Secretary of State to transfer
funds authorized the Omnibus Diplomatic
Security and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986, for
fiscal years 1986 through 1990, for diplomat-
ic security capital construction projects for
any other security purposes and for foreign
buildings operations. Furthermore, of the
$417,962,000 authorized to be appropriated
under Public Law 99-399 for diplomatic se-
curity capital construction funds authorized
to be appropriated in fiscal year 1988, the
Senate provision reallocated $323 million to
the regular acquisition and maintenance of
foreign buildings account, and $74 million to
the salaries and expenses account of the
Bureau of Diplomatic Security.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision.
REDUCTION OF CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNT
The Senate amendment (sec. 106) amends
section 401(a)(3) of the Omnibus Diplomatic
Security and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1986 to
reduce the amount authorized to be appro-
priated for fiscal year 1988 for diplomatic
security capital construction from
$417,962,000 to $397,262,000.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes the
Senate provision.
SECURITY GUARD PROGRAM
The House bill (see. 199F) prohibits
Marine security guards (MSG's) from per-
forming guard duty beyond 12 months at
diplomatic or consular posts in high intelli-
gence threat countries. This provision also
stipulates that MSG's would be allowed two
separate rest and recuperative periods while
stationed in a high intelligence threat coun-
try. and that the Secretary of Defense may
waive any portion of this provision.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision. In light of recent administrative
action by the Marine Corps to limit MSG
tour lengths in Eastern Bloc countries to 12
months and in Moscow to 6 months, to pro-
vide two rest and recuperative periods for
MSG personnel during their tour and place
a prohibition on repeat tours, the commit-
tee of conference believes that additional
legislative language is not required.
The committee on conference is satisfied
that the administrative action by the
Marine Corps to limit MSG tour lengths in
Moscow and Eastern Europe has addressed
most of the concerns of Congress. However,
there remains an aspect of the assignment
policies that continues to require adminis-
trative action: the failure of the Marine
Corps and the Department of State to pro-
vide R&R travel authority for dependents
residing with MSG's assigned to these coun-
tries. The hardship factors calling for R&R
or tour limitation for Marines are equally
difficult for the families of the Marines.
The committee of conference therefore
urges the Department of State and the
Marine Corps to proceed on an expedited

schedule to provide rest and recuperative
travel for Marine families assigned to these
high intelligence threat countries that are
not inferior to those provided to U.S. civil-
ian personnel assigned to the same country.
PART D-PERSONNEL MATTERS
COMMISSION TO STUDY FOREIGN SERVICE
PERSONNEL SYSTEM
The Senate amendment (sec. 555) directs
the Secretary of State to appoint a commis-
sion of five distinguished members to con-
duct a study of the Foreign Service person-
nel system. The purpose of the commission
is to develop a personnel system that pro-
vides adequate career stability to members
of the Foreign Service. Commission mem-
bers are to be appointed after consultation
with the Committee on Foreign Relations of
the Senate and the exclusive representa-
tives.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (see. 171) is
similar to the Senate amendment. However,
it provides that appointments to the com-
mission would be made after consultation
with the Committees on Foreign Affairs and
on the Post Office and Civil Service of the
House and the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions of the Senate.
PROTECTION OF CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES
The Senate amendment (sec. 121) contains
congressional findings that the Department
of State has overlooked the contribution of
Civil Service employees in the Department
and establishes in the Office of the Secre-
tary of State the position of Ombudsman
for Civil Service Employees. The Ombuds-
man would report directly to the Secretary
of State and would have the right to partici-
pate in all Management Council meetings in
order to protect the career interests of Civil
Service employees.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 172) is
similar to the Senate provision, with the ad-
ditional stipulation that the position of Om-
budsman be a career reserved position
within the Senior Executive Service, and
will be designated from one of the Senior
Executive Service positions in existence on
the date of enactment. The Ombudsman for
Civil Service employees shall be subject to'
all provisions of title 5, United States Code,
relating to career-reserved positions.
COMPENSATION FOR CERTAIN STATE
DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
The House bill (sec. 134) amends the State
Department Basic Authorities Act, of 1956
to establish a pay authority for the Coordi-
nator for International Communications
and Information Policy and for the Director
of the Office of Foreign Missions. The rate
of pay for both positions would be set at ex-
ecutive level IV. The provision contains a
Budget Act waiver and an effective date of
October 1, 1987.
The Senate amendment (sec. 113) is simi-
lar to the House bill, with no effective date
or budget act waiver.
The conference substitute (sec. 173) is
similar to the House provision, with an ef-
fective date of 30 days after the date of en-
actment of the act.
AUDIT OF MERIT PERSONNEL SYSTEM OF
FOREIGN SERVICE
The Senate amendment (sec. 556) re-
quired the Director of the Office of Person-
nel Management to conduct an audit and in-
spection of the merit personnel system in
the Foreign Service and report to the Con-
gress by June 1, 1988, regarding necessary
improvements in the system. Reports of
racial, ethnic, sexual, and other discrimina-
tory practices, would be the focus of the
report. The report shall pay particular at-
tention to reports of racial, ethnic, sexual,
and other discriminatory practices in the re-
cruitment, appointment, assignment, and
promotion of Foreign Service employees.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 174) is
similar to the Senate provision, but directs
the Comptroller General of the United
States to undertake the audit and inspec-
tion, and report not later than 1 year after
the date of enactment of this act.
PERFORMANCE PAY
The House bill (sec. 161) suspends senior
performance awards to the Department of
State for 1 year and requires the Inspector
General of the Department of State to com-
plete a reivew of the Department's perform-
ance award system by the end of fiscal year
1988. The House bill (sec. 162) also contains
a provisiondealing with the awarding of ex-
ecutive service merit bonuses to individuals
responsible for security at the U.S. Embassy
in Moscow. The House bill notes that an in-
vestigation was being conducted at the time
concerning violations of security and the
status of security at the U.S. Embassy in
Moscow, and that the investigation could
have resulted in findings or allegations of
possible negligence or nonfeasance of these
individuals. The House bill expressed the
view of the House that in consideration of
this pending investigation, it was inappro-
priate for the Secretary of State to award
senior executive merit bonuses to such indi-
viduals before such an investigation was
completed.
The Senate amendment (sec. 116) contains
a provision allowing the portion of a per-
formance pay award which cannot be paid
to a member of the Senior Foreign Service
because of pay cap limitations in a given
year to remain available for that individual
in the following year.
The conference substitute (sec. 175) re-
quires the Inspector General of the Depart-
ment of State to complete its review of the
performance award system of the Depart-
ment not later than May 1, 1988, and sus-
pends performance awards for the Senior
Foreign Service until that review is complet-
ed. The conference substitute also retains
the Senate provision on carryover of per-
formance pay, but deletes the House provi-
sion dealing with the awarding of executive
merit bonuses to individuals responsible for
security at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
CHIEF OF MISSIONS SALARY
The Senate amendment (sec. 551) provides
that chiefs of mission would receive a salary
at one of the annual rates payable for exec-
utive levels II through V, which would be
considered full compensation. Chiefs of mis-
sion would not be eligible for additional
compensation in the form of hardship dif-
ferential, performance pay, or other incen-
tive allowances. However, chiefs of mission
could receive danger pay.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 177) estab-
lishes executive level II as a total compensa-
tion cap for chiefs of mission, except for
danger pay which may be paid without re-
spect to that limitation. The substitute also
provides that a member of the Senior For-
eign Service who accepts a Presidential ap-
pointment may receive only the pay and
benefits of the Presidential appointment,
and would no longer be eligible to receive
performance pay.
PAY LEVEL OF AMBASSADORS-AT-LARGE
The House bill (sec. 124) reduces the
salary of future Ambassadors-at-Large from
Executive level II to level IV, or from the
equivalent of the Deputy Secretary to that
of an Assistant Secretary. The provision
contains an effective date of October 1,
1987, and would not apply to the salary of
any individual serving as Ambassador-at-
Large on that date.
The Senate amendment (sec. 112) is simi-
lar to the House provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 178) is
similar to the House amendment, but con-
tains an effective date of 30 days after the
date of enactment of this act.
FOREIGN SERVICE CAREER CANDIDATES TAX
TREATMENT
The Senate amendment (sec. 124) provides
that Foreign Service career candidates or
career members may not represent to the
District of Columbia or any State or locality
that they are exempt from income taxes on
the basis of holding a Presidential appoint-
ment subject to Senate confirmation, or on
the basis of serving in an appointment
whose tenure is at the pleasure of the Presi-
dent.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 179) is the
same as the Senate amendment, with an ef-
fective date beginning with calendar year
1988.
PROHIBITION ON MEMBER OF A FOREIGN SERVICE
UNION NEGOTIATING ON BEHALF OF THE DE-
PARTMENT OF STATE
The House bill (sec. 160) amends section
1018 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to
prohibit a member of the exclusive repre-
sentative from negotiating on behalf of the
Department of State.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 180) con-
tains a sense of the Congress with regard to
labor-management negotiations between the
Department of State and the exclusive rep-
resentative of the Department's Foreign
Service employees. The conference substi-
tute urges the Secretary of State to take
steps to assure that those who direct and
conduct negotiations on behalf of manage-
ment are not also beneficiaries of the agree-
ments made with the exclusive representa-
tive.
CLARIFICATION OF JURISDICTION OF FOREIGN
SERVICE GRIEVANCE BOARD
The House bill (sec. 154) clarifies the au-
thority of the Foreign Service Grievance
Board to grant tenure as a remedy, either
through recommendation to the Secretary
or an order. The House bill also provides
that the Foreign Service Grievance Board
has the authority to direct the Department
of State to pay reasonable attorneys fees in
separation for cause cases, where cause is
not established at a hearing before the For-
eign Service Grievance Board. The amend-
ments made by this provision would apply
with respect to grievances filed after the
date of enactment of this act.
The Senate amendment (sec. 120) removes
the authority of an agency head to reject a
recommendation of the Foreign Service
Grievance Board if the agency head believes
such a recommendation is contrary to law.
The agency head would be required to im-
plement the Board's recommendation and
seek judicial review as an aggrieved party
under section 1110 of the Foreign Service
Act of 1980. This provision also cross refer-
ences the Grievance Board's procedures and
authority under chapter 11 of the Foreign
Service Act with its responsibility to decide
separation for cause cases, enabling the
Board to award attorney fees in section 610
cases. The amendments made by this sec-

tion would not apply to any grievance in
which the Board has issued a final decision
prior to the date of enactment of this act.
The conference substitute (sec. 181) main-
tains the Secretary of State's authority to
reject a Grievance Board decision because it
is contrary to law. If the Secretary deter-
mines that such a decision is contrary to
law, the Secretary must request, within 30
days of receipt of the decision, that the
Board reconsider its recommendation. The
Board must subsequently review the Secre-
tary's decision within 30 days and make a
further recommendation to confirm,
modify, or vacate its original decision. This
recommendation would be considered a final
action to be implemented by the Secretary.
The conference substitute also incorpo-
rates the language of the House bill with re-
spect to the ability of the Grievance Board
to grant tenure, and with respect to the au-
thority of the Board to direct the Depart-
ment to pay attorneys fees in separation for
cause cases. The substitute also provides
that these provisions will not apply to any
grievance in which the Board has issued a
final decision prior to the date of enactment
of this act.
The committee of conference has included
this section to address the concern of career
candidates in the Foreign -Service who be-
lieve they may, on occasion, be denied a rea-
sonable and fair opportunity to demonstrate
fitness and aptitude for a career appoint-
ment. In such instances, the Foreign Service
Grievance Board will now have specific au-
thority to remedy such harm by recom-
mending tenure. In including this authority,
tenure may be granted as a remedy if the
Board determines that no other remedy pro-
vides adequate and suitable redress for the
harm found by the Board. For example, sec-
tion 309 of the Foreign -Service Act is
amended by this section to authorize the al-
ternative remedy of extending limited ap-
pointments where necessary to afford candi-
dates a full and fair opportunity to demon-
strate fitness and aptitude for career ap-
pointment in the Foreign Service.
RECORD OF GRIEVANCES AWARDED
The Senate amendment (sec. 557) amends
the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to require
the Foreign Service Grievance Board to
maintain records of all grievances awarded
in favor of the grievant which concern gross
misconduct by a supervisor of the grievant.
Whenever such supervisor is nominated for
a position requiring the advice and consent
of the Senate, the Board would provide the
Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate with a copy of the grievance deci-
sion.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 182) is
similar to the Senate amendment. It also di-
rects the Board to provide a copy of any
records which are provided to the Commit-
tee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, to
the supervisor who is the subject of the
grievance. The supervisor may in turn make
comments to the committee concerning
these records. The conference substitute
also provides that all records disclosed and
comments provided to the Committee on
Foreign Relations by the supervisor shall be
treated as confidential.
WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN THE FOREIGN
SERVICE
The House bill (secs. 139 and 157) contains
two provisions relating to the Department
of State's employment practices with re-
spect to women and minorities. It expands
existing Department of State reporting re-
quirements pursuant to section 105(d)(2) of
the Foreign Service Act to address the De-
partment's progress in increasing the
number of women and minorities serving at
the Assistant Secretary and Bureau level,
and to address the number of Hispanic
Americans, Asian Americans, and Native
Americans serving in the Senior Executive
Service and Senior Foreign Service. The
House bill also requires the Secretary of
State and the heads of each Federal agency
utilizing the Foreign Service personnel
system to increase their efforts to imple-
ment congressionally mandated plans to
make the Foreign Service representative of
the American people.
The Senate amendment (sec. 119) repeals
certain reporting requirements required by
the Foreign Service Act of 1980 and by the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act, fiscal
years 1986 and 1987. The provision also con-
solidates reporting requirements formerly
required under section 2402 of the Foreign
Service- Act. Reports required to be submit-
ted by the Department of State to the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commis-
sion or the Office of Personnel Management
are substituted for the affirmative action
report required under section 105(d)(2) of
the Foreign Service Act.
The conference substitute (sec. 183)
merges the two House provisions and modi-
fies the Senate provision to retain the re-
porting requirement under section 2402(c)
of the Foreign Service Act with regard to
consultation with the exclusive representa-
tive on steps taken to implement the For-
eign Service Act.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAW REQUIRING REPORTS TO
CONGRESS
The Senate amendment (sec. 559) requires
the Department of State to submit to the
Congress a report complying with the 1980
and 1984 congressional requests for a listing
and description of all policy and supporting
positions in the Department of State and re-
lated agencies. It also provides that no
funds authorized by this act could be obli-
gated or expended until the Department
complied with this requirement.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 184) pro-
vides for a similar reporting requirement
complying with the 1984 congressional re-
quest, but eliminates the prohibition on the
use of funds pending compliance. Instead,
the conference substitute requires the Sec-
retary of State to provide information in a
timely manner whenever the Committee on
the Post Office and Civil Service of the
House of Representatives or the Committee
on Governmental Affairs of the Senate re-
quest information for inclusion in the publi-
cation "U.S. Government Policy and Sup-
porting Positions."
DISPOSITION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ABROAD
The House bill (sec. 1001) contains a pro-
vision which would preclude individual U.S.
Government employees from realizing
undue profits from the sale of personal
property imported or purchased in a foreign
country, when that property was exempt
from import limitations, customs duties, and
other taxes by virtue of the employee's dip-
lomatic or official status.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 186) is
similar to the House bill, but clarifies that
the purpose of regulations issued by the
Secretary of State with regard to the dispo-
sition of personal property is to ensure that
employees and members of their families do
not personally profit from transactions with
persons not entitled to examptions from
import restrictions, duties, or taxes.
BENEFITS FOR CERTAIN FORMER SPOUSES OF
MEMBER OF THE FOREIGN SERVICE
The House bill (sec. 152) adds new sections
to chapter 8 of the Foreign Service Act to
provide retirement and survivor annuities
and access to health insurance to former
spouses who were divorced from members of
the Foreign Service before the effective
date of the 1980 Foreign Service Act. The
House bill parallels the fiscal years 1987 In-
telligence Authorization Act which ex-
tended similar benefits to certain former
spouses of CIA employees.
The Senate amendment (sec. 118) contains
a similar provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 188) is
similar to the House bill. The committee of
conference notes that the Department of
State estimates the cost for fiscal year 1988
to be approximately $700,000. This cost
would gradually rise for the next few years,
and then decline over the next 20 to 30
years as the number of former spouses re-
ceiving benefits gradually diminishes.
DEBT COLLECTION
The House bill (sec. 143) directs the Secre-
tary of State to enter into contracts for the
collection of debts owed by a person, other
than a foreign country, to the United States
which arise from activities of the Depart-
ment of State and which are delinquent by
more than 3 months. The house bill also re-
quires that any person contracted with by
the Department submit a status report on
collections every 6 months. The Secretary
shall also, to the extent otherwise permitted
by law, disclose any debt of more than $100
which is delinquent more than 31 days to
those credit reporting agencies to which the
Secretary reports loan activity information.
The House bill (sec. 212) also includes an
identical provision relating to debts owed to
the United States arising from activities of
the United States Information Agency.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes both
provisions.
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES TESTING
The House bill (sec. 145) provides for a
controlled substance testing program for
employees of the Department of State
having access to classified information.
The Senate bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision. The Supplemental Appropria-
tions Act for fiscal year 1987 (Public Law
100-71) contained a provision setting com-
prehensive standards for substance abuse
testing of Federal employees. The legisla-
tion contained in the supplemental appro-
priations bill was the result of considerable
negotiation between the Congress and the
executive branch. As governmentwide regu-
lations are now in effect, a separate sub-
stance abuse testing program for the De-
partment of State is not required.
FUNCTIONS OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
The House bill (sec. 155) amends the For-
eign Service Act of 1980 to delete the re-
quirement that the Inspector General of
the Department of State inspect and audit
the administration of activities and oper-
ations of each Foreign Service post and each
bureau and other operating unit of the De-
partment of State at least every 5 years.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision.
FOREIGN SERVICE HEALTH CARE

sense on Congress concerning the establish-

vision.
PROHIBITION ON POLITICAL ACTIVITIES OF
AMBASSADORS
The House bill (sec. 156) prohibits ambas-
sadors from taking an active part in their
official capacity in partisan compaigns in
the United States.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision.
VISITS OF FOREIGN DIGNATARIES TO THE
CAPITOL
The Senate amendment (sec. 541) ex-
presses the sense of the Senate that in ar-
ranging visits of foreign dignitaries to the
U.S. Capitol, the Department of State
should do so with a minimum of display.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision.
AUTHORIZATIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS
The House bill (sec. 201 and sec. 301) pro-
vides authorization for the operations of the
United States Information Agency in two
separate titles totaling $820,552,000 in fiscal
year 1988 and $919,474,000 in fiscal year
1989. Title II authorizes the appropriation
of $627,700,000 for fiscal year 1988 and

Fiscal Year 1989
With respect to the authorization levels
provided for fiscal year 1989 (see table 3)
the committee of conference provides a 2
percent increase over fiscal year 1988 levels
pursuant to the agreement between the
President and the joint congressional lead-
ership during the recent budget summit
concluded on November 20, 1987.
Earmarks
The House bill and the Senate amend-
ment in numerous instances earmarked
tivities of the Agency except for the Voice
of America and related radio broadcasting
operations. Title III of the House bill pro-
vides $192,852,000 for fiscal year 1988 and
$266,566,000 for fiscal year 1989 for the ac-
tivities of the Voice of America and Radio
Broadcasting to Cuba.
The Senate amendment (secs. 201 through
203) authorizes the appropriation of
$781,751,000 for fiscal year 1988 for the
United States Information Agency.
The conference substitute (secs. 201, 210,
301, 203, and 401) authorizes the total ap-
propriation of $820,823,000 for fiscal year
1988 and $837,239,000 for fiscal year 1989
for all elements of the agency. However,
these amounts are authorized in three sepa-
rate titles. The action of the committee of

gramming is made before that period.
The Senate bill (sec. 208) extends for an
additional 2 years the existing grant notifi-
cation requirement for certain USIA grants.
The conference substitute (sec. 202) is the
same as the House bill, with a technical cor-
rection to the effective date.
RECEIPTS FROM ENGLISH-TEACHING AND
LIBRARY PROGRAMS
The Senate amendment (sec. 210) amends

December 14, 1987 IMNGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE H 11339
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 203) au-
thorizes USIA to retain receipts from the
rental of English-teaching tapes and pro-
grams, and from the provision of library
services, but deletes the authority to retain
receipts for television and motion pictures.
In providing authority to charge for library
services, it is the intention of the committee
of conference to permit retention of charges
for data base searches and similar costly ac-
tivities. This shall not be construed as au-
thority to charge for the use of books, peri-
odicals, and other regular library materials
and services.
USIA POSTS AND PERSONNEL OVERSEAS
The Senate amendment (sec. 206) prohib-
its the use of funds authorized by this or
any other act to pay the expenses related to
the closing of any USIA post abroad or to
pay any expenses related to the Bureau of
Management or with the "Television and
Film Service" if any USIA post is closed
after April 1, 1987 and not reopened within
90 days of the date of enactment. The
Senate amendment also prohibits reduc-
tions in overseas American positions until
the ratio of American employees stationed
in the United States has been reduced to
the 1981 level.
These provisions shall not apply to any
post closed due to a break or downgrading
in relations, a post where there is a real and
present threat to Americans in the city
where the post is located, or where the post
is closed to open one of a higher priority
and the total number of consulates and mis-
sions abroad is not less than the number
that existed on January 1. 1987.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 204) is the
same as the Senate amendment.
FORTY-YEAR LEASING AUTHORITY
The Senate amendment (sec. 209) amends
section 801(3) of the United States Informa-
tion and Educational Exchange Act of 1948
to extend the period for which real property
associated with facilities for radio transmis-
sion and reception may be leased from 25 to
40 years.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 205) is the
same as the Senate amendment.
USIA PROGRAMMING ON AFGHANISTAN
The Senate amendment (sec. 214) contains
congressional findings on the importance of
USIA programming on Afghanistan, and di-
rects the Director of USIA to implement a
formal country plan on Afghanistan, and
provide the proposed plan to Congress
within 60 days after the date of enactment.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 206) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but de-
letes the congressional findings.
TELEVISION SERVICE OF USIA
The House bill (sec. 206) amends the
United States Information and Educational
Exchange Act of 1948 to enumerate the
principles for which Worldnet, the televi-
sion service of USIA, should be governed,
with a charter paralleling the Voice of
America charter on fairness and objectivity.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 207) is
similar to the House bill, but directs that
Worldnet operate under the same principles
as specified for the Voice of America pursu-
ant to section 503 of the United States In-
formation and Educational Exchange Act of
1948.
LIMITATION ON WORLDNET FUNDING
The House bill (sec. 207) prohibits the re-
programming or transfer of funds in fiscal
years 1988 and 1989 from any program,
project, or activity for the Woridnet pro-
gram.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 208) is the
same as the House bill.
AUDIENCE SURVEY OF WORLDNET PROGRAM
The Senate amendment (sec. 220) ear-
marks $500,000 of the funds authorized for
the Woridnet program to conduct a survey
of the number of viewers in Europe who
watch the daily passive shows of Worldnet
and requires a report to Congress not later
than 9 months after the date of enactment
on this survey.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 209) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but
makes some technical and clarifying
changes. In addition, the conference substi-
tute adds a new subsection prohibiting the
obligation or expenditure of funds author-
ized to be appropriated to USIA on the pro-
duction or acquisition of passive programs
for Worldnet after October 1, 1988 unless
the survey required by this section has been
completed in the manner specified, the
report required by this section has been sub-
mitted, and the survey shows a high degree
of reliability that the average daily audience
of Woridnet's passive programming is not
less than 2 million viewers.
In determining the size of the average
daily European audience for the passive
(noninteractive) programs of USIA's World-
net television service, the survey required by
this section shall count only those viewers
who watch Worldnet programs on television
channels that carry Worldnet passive (non-
interactive) programs on a daily basis and in
their entirety. In determining the size of
the average daily European audience for
Woridnet passive programs, the survey shall
not count viewers who may watch the
Worldnet passive programs on tapes distrib-
uted by USIA or viewers who may watch
fragments of the passive programming as
part of news or other programs carried on
channels that do not carry Worldnet on a
daily basis.
The company that makes the audience
survey shall count viewers in accordance
with standards used by the television audi-
ence survey industry in the United States
when making as accurate a count as possible
of the number of viewers of specific com-
mercial television programs for the purpose
of determining advertising revenues. The
committee of conference expects that the
company selected to conduct the survey
shall do so without being influenced in any
way by any individual associated with USIA.
The committee of conference further ex-
pects that the Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs of the House of Representatives and
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate shall be kept currently and fully in-
formed by the company conducting the
survey and USIA on all aspects connected
with the design and process of implementa-
tion of the survey.
NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY
The Senate amendment (sec. 204) author-
izes $17.5 million for the National Endow-
ment for Democracy and earmarks $250,000
for support of elements of the free press
and democratic civic opposition inside Nica-
ragua which espouse democratic principles
and objectives. The Senate amendment also
specifies that, as is the case with all pro-
grams of NED, no employee of any depart-
ment, agency, or other component of the
U.S. Government may participate directly
or indirectly in controlling, directing, or pro-
viding these funds to the free press and
democratic opposition inside Nicaragua.
The House bill (sec. 201(4)) contains a
similar authorization.
The conference substitute (sec. 210) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but modi-
fies the restriction to prohibit agencies or
employees of the U.S. Government from
participating directly or indirectly in con-
trolling and directing the use of these funds
by the free press and democratic civic oppo-
sition in Nicaragua.
SEPARATE ACCOUNTS FOR NED GRANTEES
The House bill (sec. 208) provides that the
National Endowment for Democracy (NED)
ensure that grantees keep assistance provid-
ed by NED in separate accounts.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 211) is the
same as the House bill.
NED TREATMENT OF INDEPENDENT LABOR
UNIONS
The House bill (sec. 209) amends section
503 of the National Endowment for Democ-
racy Act by adding a new subsection which
states that NED may award grants to inde-
pendent labor unions.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 212) is the
same as the House bill.
U.S. ADVISORY COMMISSION ON PUBLIC
DIPLOMACY
The Senate amendment (sec. 215) updates
the statutory authority for the U.S. Adviso-
ry Commission on Public Diplomacy to re-
flect changes made as a result of the 1977
reorganization of USIA and alters the
method by which Commission members are
chosen. The Senate amendment provides
that the nine members of the Commission
be chosen as follows: five members selected
by the President, two members selected by
the Chairman or ranking member of the
Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House
of Representatives and two members select-
ed by the Chairman or ranking member of
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate, depending on which party controls
the White House. The President designates
the chairman of the Commission, and the
chairman selects the Commission staff di-
rector with the concurrence of at least five
members of the Commission.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 213) up-
dates the statutory authority, but retains
most of the current structure of the Adviso-
ry Commission. The conference substitute
eliminates the requirement for the Commis-
sion to be appointed on a bipartisan basis,
makes the members serve at the pleasure of
the President instead of on fixed of service,
and retains the Senate confirmation of ap-
pointees.
DISTRIBUTION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES OF
USIA FILM ENTITLED "AMERICA THE WAY I SEE
IT"
The Senate amendment (sec. 561) author-
izes the distribution of the USIA film
"America the Way I See It" within the
United States.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 214) is the
same as the Senate amendment.

STATES BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
The House bill (sec. 204) directs the Direc-
tor of USIA to make available, upon re-
quest, photographs of militarty operations
and related activities that occured in the
Republic of Vietnam to the Secretary of De-
fense and Secretaries of the military depart-
ments concerned for the purpose of develop-
ing and publishing military histories.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 215) is the
same as the House bill.
USIA UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The House bill (sec. 205) expresses the
sense of Congress that USIA should provide
increased funding for students in the Carib-
bean region under the scholarship program
for developing countries established by title
VI of the Foreign Relations Authorization
Act, fiscal years 1986 and 1987.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 216) is
similar to the House bill, but makes the pro-
vision a sense of the House of Representa-
tives and adds Aruba to the list of targeted
countries. The committee of conference
notes that for the purposes of the Fulbright
Student Program and the Hubert H. Hum-
phrey Midcareer Program, Aruba shall be
considered as an independent country, with
eligibility and participation consistent with
program standards. These exchanges are to
be administered with standard procedures.
TITLE III-EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL
AFFAIRS
SAMANTHA SMITH MEMORIAL EXCHANGE
The House bill (sec. 211) earmarks $2 mil-
lion out of the exchanges account of the
United States Information Agency for
United States-Soviet youth and educational
exchanges.
The Senate amendment (sec. 218) estab-
lishes a similar program named in memory
of Samantha Smith and provided $2 million
in additional authorization to carry out this
program.
The conference substitute (sec. 302) takes
the Senate formulation on funding and the
name of the program, and expands it to
cover exchanges conducted with the Soviet
Union and other East Bloc nations. In ad-
ministering this program, the managers
note that the Samantha Smith Memorial
Exchange Program is intended to be' a new
program concentrating, on the basis of reci-
procity, on youth exchanges with the Soviet
Union. In providing flexibility in the admin-
istration of the program, the committee of
conference intends neither to shift the em-
phasis away from exchanges of youth (in-
cluding children) or students at the under-
graduate college level below the age of 26,
nor to imply that the exchanges need to
take place under the auspices of an educa-
tional institution.
ARTS AMERICA PROGRAM
The Senate amendment (sec. 207) trans-
fers USIA's Arts America program in the
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs,
and brings it under the scope of the Bu-
reau's charter.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 303) is the
same as the Senate amendment.
PROFESSORSHIP ON CONSTITUTIONAL
DEMOCRACY
The House bill (sec. 210) directs the Presi-
dent to foster the teaching of constitutional
democracy at the Santo Tomas University
in the Republic of the Philippines by sup-
porting at such university, under section
102(b)(4) of the Mutual Educational and
Cultural Exchange Act of 1961, a professor-
ship on the subject of constitutional democ-
racy, if such a professorship is established.
The Senate amendment (sec. 211) contains
an identical provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 304) is the
same as the House bill, but makes a techni-
cal correction to the effective date.
UNITED STATES-INDIA FUND
The Senate amendment (sec. 212) amends
section 903 of the United States-India Fund
for Cultural, Educational, and Scientific Co-
operation Act to permit the principal set-
aside for the fund, as well as interests earn-
ings, to be used in accordance with the Edu-
cation and Scientific Cooperation Agree-
ment signed on January 7, 1987.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 305) is the
same as the Senate amendment.
UNITED STATES-PAKISTAN FUND
The Senate amendment (sec. 213) author-
izes the Director of USIA to enter into an
agreement with the Government of Paki-
stan for the establishment of the United
States Pakistan Fund for Cultural, Educa-
tional, and Scientific Exchange. Section 213
also provides that the director make avail-
able to the Fund for use in carrying out the
agreement up to the equivalent of $598,176
in foreign currencies owed by the United
States in Pakistan or owed to the United
States by Pakistan.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision.
THE EDWARD ZORINSKY MEMORIAL LIBRARY
The Senate amendment (sec. 216) desig-
nates the USIA library in Jakarta, Indonsia
as the "Edward Zorinsky Memorial Li-
brary". This library was opened as the
result of legislation authored by the late
Senator Zorinsky.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 306) is the
same as the Senate amemdment.
CULTURAL PROPERTY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Senate amendment (sec. 219) revises
and staggers the terms of service of mem-
bers of the Cultural Property Advisory
Committee by lengthening such terms from
2 to 3 years. The Senate amendment also
provides that with respect to initial appoint-
ments, the President shall select, on a repre-
sentative basis to the maximum extent prac-
ticable, four members to serve 3-year terms,
four members to serve 2-year terms, and the
remaining members to serve a 1-year term.
Thereafter each appointment shall be for a
3-year term.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 307) is the
same as the Senate amendment, except that
the effective date is modified to apply with
respect to members appointed after the date
of enactment.
TITLE IV-VOICE OF AMERICA
VOICE OF AMERICA/EUROPE
The House bill (sec. 302) authorizes to be
appropriated for the Voice of America/
Europe $3 million for fiscal year 1988 and
$3,120,000 for fiscal year 1989. In addition
the House bill directed VOA/Europe (a) to
conduct periodic audience evaluations, (b)
to promote and advertise its programs, and
(c) to target news and features In accord-
ance with the recommendations of the
Young European Study.
The Senate amendment (sec. 202) provides
authorization for this service within the
overall authorization for the Voice of Amer-
ica.
The conference substitute (sec. 402) au-
thorizes the appropriation of $3 million in
fiscal year 1988 and $3,060,000 in fiscal year
1989 for the Voice of America. The confer-
ence substitute, as in the House bill, directs
VOA/Europe (a) to conduct periodic audi-
ence evaluations, (b) to promote and adver-
tise its programs, and (c) to target news and
features in accordance with the recommen-
dations of the Young European Study.
CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS
The Senate amendment (sec. 217) includes
a position relating to the Voice of America
facilities modernization program which
added an exception to the application of the
10% perference for American contractors.
The provision requires, among other things,
a certification by the USTR that a foreign
bidder was not receiving either direct or in-
direct subsidies from any government.
The House bill (sec. 303) contains no simi-
lar provision in its VOA contractor require-
ments.
The conference substitute (sec. 403) re-
quires a certification from the Secretary of
Commerce that foreign bidders are not re-
ceiving direct subsidies that would disadvan-
tage a U.S. person who is also bidding on
VOA modernization projects. The conferees
intend that the Secretary of Commerce may
make such a certification in the absence of a
finding that U.S. persons are being disad-
vantaged. The Secretary of Commerce is not
required to prove or show affirmatively that
U.S. persons are not being disadvantaged
before making such a certification.
TITLE V-THE BOARD FOR INTERNATIONAL
BROADCASTING
AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS
The House bill (sec. 401) authorizes the
appropriation of $170,600,000 in fiscal year
1988 and $219,424,000 in fiscal year 1989 for
the Board for International Broadcasting.
The Senate amendment (sec. 301) author-
izes $174 million for fiscal year 1988 for the
Board for International Broadcasting. In ad-
dition, the Senate amendment contains a
provision earmarking $12 million of the
funds authorized to be appropriated for the
radio modernization program.

thorizes the appropriation of $186 million in
fiscal year 1988 and $207,424,000 in fiscal
year 1989 for the Board for International
Broadcasting. In authorizing a higher level
of funding in fiscal year 1988, the commit-
tee of conference agreed on the need to pro-
vide necessary authority to offset the dra-
matic impact of the recent fall of the dollar
on the budget of Radio Free Europe/Radio
Liberty. The conference substitute ear-
marks $12 million in each fiscal year for the
modernization program.
TITLE VI-ASIA FOUNDATION
AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS
The House bill (sec. 501) authorizes the
appropriation to the Secretary of State of
$13,700,000 for fiscal year 1988 and
$14,148,000 for the fiscal year 1989 for

izes the appropriation of $15 million for the
same purpose.

TITLE VII-INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
PART A-UNITED NATIONS
REFORM IN BUDGET DECISIONMAKING PROCE-
DURES OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND ITS SPE-
CIALIZED AGENCIES
Subsection 181(a) of the House bill con-
tains congressional findings that the con-
sensus-based decislonmaking procedure es-
tablished by General Assembly Resolution
41/213 is a significant step toward comply-
ing with the intent of section 143 (known as
the "Kassebaum-Solomon amendment") of
the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for
fiscal years 1986 and 1987 (Public Law 99-
93). Subsection (b) amends that section 143
to impose the following requirements: That
the President should continue vigorous ef-
forts to secure implementation by the
United Nations of decisionmaking proce-
dures on budgetary matters which assure
that the views of the United States and
other major donors are given sufficient at-
tention; that for calendar year 1987 and
subsequent years, 20 percent of U.S.-as-
sessed contributions to the United Nations
are conditioned on a Presidential determina-
tion and report to the Congress that the
budget decisionmaking procedure, and
reform of secondment practices and person-
nel management policies are being imple-
mented, and that the Congress will have a
30-day period following submission of such
Presidential reports to enact a joint resolu-
tion of disapproval of such report; that for
calendar year 1987 and subsequent years, 20
percent of U.S.-assessed contributions to
any of the U.N. specialized agencies' budgets
shall be withheld unless the President de-
termines that such agency has made sub-
stantial progress toward implementing the
greater financial responsibility reforms ref-
erenced above; and provides that, subject to
the availability of appropriations, and the
Presidential determinations referenced
above, payment of assessed contributions
for prior years may be made to the United
Nations or a specialized agency without
regard to the contribution limitations con-
tained in section 143 of Public Law 99-93;
and authorizes the President to transfer up
to $79 million from funds appropriated for
each of the fiscal years 1988 and 1989 to
carry out the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, the Arms Export Control Act, or the
Foreign Relations Authorization Act for
payments toward the full U.S.-assessed con-
tributions for calendar years 1987 and 1988
to the United Nations and its specialized
agencies, subject to the conditions refer-
enced above and to the normal reprogram-
ming procedures of each House of the Con-
gress. Subsection (c) contains a conforming
amendment to current law (Public Law 99-
93).
The Senate amendment (sec. 141) contains
a withholding formula which permits 40
percent of the funds appropriated for the
U.S.-assessed contribution to the United Na-
tions to be made available on October 1 of a
calendar year, 40 percent upon Presidential
determination and a report to the Congress
on Implementation of the General Assem-
bly's decisionmaking procedure on budget-
ary matters, and the remaining 20 percent
available 30 legislative days after receipt by
the Congress of the Presidential report,
unless the Congress enacts during those 30
days a joint resolution of disapproval. The
Senate amendment further conditions U.S.
contributions to the U.N. specialized agen-
cies in a manner virtually identical to the
House bill's 20 percent withholding formula.
Finally, the Senate amendment provides a
2-year set of definitions and procedures for
resolutions of disapproval in both Houses
pursuant to section 141.
The conference substitute (sec. 702) finds
that the consensus-based deeisionlnaking
procedures established by General Assem-
bly resolution 41-213 is a significant step
forward. The conference substitute also pro-
vides: (1) that 40 percent of the U.S.-as-
sessed contributions to the United Nations
may be paid any time after October 1, 1987;
(2) that the second 40 percent of the U.S.-
assessed contribution may be paid upon a
Presidential determination that (I) the con-
sensus-based decisionmaking procedure is
being implemented, (ii) progress is being
made toward the 50 percent limitation on
seconded employees, and (iii) the reductions
in the staff of the Secretariat are being im-
plemented; and (3) that the final 20 percent
of the U.S. assessed contribution may be
made available 30 days after the Presiden-
tial determination unless the Congress
adopts a joint resolution prohibiting such
payment.
In the event that the amount appropri-
ated for the U.S.-assessed contribution to
the United Nations is less than the U.S.-as-
sessed contribution to the United Nations,
the conference substitute provides *that 20
percent of the funds cannot be released
until 30 days after the Presidential determi-
nation. provided the Congress doesn't pro-
hibit such payment. The conference substi-
tute sunsets this section on October 1, 1989.
HOUSING ALLOWANCES OF INTERNATIONAL CIVIL
SERVANTS
The House bill (sec. 199A) contains a pro-
vision which states that U.S. policy is to
prohibit U.N. member states from providing
housing allowances and other benefits to
international civil servants, as recommended
by the Association of International Civil
Servants, reduces the U.S. contributions to
the United Nations equal to any such bene-
fits which are provided, and calls on the
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations to
promote this policy.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (see. 703) is
similar to the House bill, but drops the pro-
vision withholding U.S. contributions to the
United Nations.
UNITED STATES PARTICIPATION IN THE UNITED
NATIONS IF ISRAEL IS ILLEGALLY EXPELLED
The House bill (sec. 171) states that if
Israel is denied its legal right to participate
in the United Nations, any principal or sub-
sidiary organ, or in any specialized, techni-
cal or other agency of the United Nations,
the United States shall suspend participa-
tion in the United Nations until this action
is reversed.
The Senate amendment (sec. 143) con-
tained a similar provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 704) is
similar to the House bill, but does not apply
the restriction to U.S. participation in the
U.N. Security Council and the safeguards
program of the International Atomic
Energy Agency.
U.N. PROJECTS WHOSE PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO
BENEFIT THE PLO
The House bill (sec. 199J) amends section

thorities Act to authorize the withholding
of 25 percent of the amount budgeted for
the U.N. Special Committee to Investigate
Israeli Practices Affecting the Human
Rights of the Population of the Occupied
Territories, and authorizes the withholding
of the U.S. proportionate share of the U.N.
budget spent on the African National Con-
gress (ANC) or any entity that benefits the
ANC.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.

COMMISSION FILES
The Senate amendment (sec. 508) contains
congressional findings and the sense of Con-
gress regarding access by interested individ-
uals and organizations to the files of the
United Nations War Crimes Commission.
The House bill (sec. 176) contains a simi.
lar provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 706) is es-
sentially identical to the Senate amend-
ment.
PROTECTION OF TYRE BY U.N. INTERIM FORCE IN
LEBANON (UNIFIL)
The Senate amendment (sec. 145) contains
congressional findings regarding the impor-
tance of the archeological value of ancient
Tyre and the threat posed by civil strife in
Lebanon, and directs the Secretary of State
to request the Secretary General of the
United Nations to extend the mandate of
UNIFIL to include protection of Tyre and to
seek an order prohibiting the purchase of
artifacts from Tyre by any person associat-
ed with the United Nations. The Senate
amendment also requires the Secretary of
State to report not later than 6 months
after the date of enactment, and semiannu-
ally thereafter, on the progress made in im-
plementing this section.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 708) is
similar to the Senate amendment.
LIMITATION ON FUNDING OF UNITED NATIONS
The House bill (sec. 1401) limits the obli-
gation or expenditure of funds to the
United Nations or any United Nations affili-
ated agency to 50 percent of the total pay-
ments by the United States for its assessed
contribution to such organization or agency
in 1986. This limitation does not apply to
payments to peacekeeping activities. In ad-
dition, the President may waive this provi-
sion if he determines that such a waiver is
in the national interest of the United
States.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision.
RESTRICTION ON CONTRIBUTIONS TO
INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
The Senate amendment (sec. 532) calls for
the United States to cut its appropriated
contributions to the United Nations by 50
percent unless the President certifies to
Congress that significant progress has been
made in the U.N. Secretariat and the spe-
cialized agencies to eliminate the excessive
use of secondment by member states to the
U.N. Secretariat, and to eliminate the bla-
tant control of nationals of member states
serving as employees of the U.N. Secretariat
or the agencies.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision, but incorporates the essence of
the provision in section 702.
MEMBERSHIP OF BYELORUSSIA AND UKRAINE IN
THE UNITED NATIONS
The House bill (sec. 199K) directs the
President to conduct a review of whether
the United States should introduce a resolu-
tion to cease the recognition of Byelorussia
and the Ukraine as members of the United
Nations in the General Assembly, and
report his recommendations thereon to
Congress within 90 days after the date of
enactment.

LIMITATION ON SOVIET NATIONALS AT THE
UNITED NATIONS
The House bill (sec. 184) limits the
number of Soviet nationals serving at the
Soviet, Byelorussian, and Ukrainian mis-
sions to the United Nations to a level not to
exceed the number of U.S. nationals serving
at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision. The committee of conference
notes that the number of Soviet nationals at
missions to the United Nations is continuing
to decrease according to the schedule agreed
to by the Secretary of State and the mem-
bers of the Committee on Host Country Re-
lations of the United Nations.
PART B-U.S. COMMISSION ON IMPROVING THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE U.N.
The Senate amendment (secs. 601-610) es-
tablishes a commission composed of 18
members, including two members of the
House of Representatives, two members of
the Senate, eight individuals from the pri-
vate sector, and six individuals appointed by
the private sector, to examine the U.N.
system as a whole and identify and evaluate
its strengths and weaknesses. The Commis-
sion shall prepare and submit a report, not
later than 18 months after the date on
which all members of the Commission have
been appointed, to the President and the
Congress on their recommendations for im-
proving the effectiveness of the U.N. system
and the role of the United States in the
U.N. System, including the feasibility of and
means for implementing such recommenda-
tions. The Commission shall cease to exist
60 days after submitting its report to the
President and the Congress.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (secs. 721-730)
is similar to the Senate amendment, but re-
duces the number of Commissioners to be
appointed by the President from eight to
six, thereby reducing the size of the Com-
mission, and makes the date for appoint-
ment of Commissioners March 1, 1989.

CONTRIBUTION TO REGULAR BUDGET OF INTER-
NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS AND
SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING RECOGNI-
TION OF RED SHIELD OF DAVID
The Senate amendment (see. 108) directs
the Secretary of State to make a contribu-
tion to the regular budget of the Interna-
tional Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)
equal to not less than 20 percent of its regu-
lar budget. This contribution may be made
from the funds authorized for migration
and refugee assistance. Allocations of funds
within the migration and refugee account
for fiscal year 1988 may be reprogrammed
within the account if the requirements of
the designated programs are fully met. The
Senate amendment also provides that the
U.S. contribution to the ICRC shall not
exceed nor be less than the U.S. contribu-
tion in fiscal year 1987.
In addition, the Senate amendment ex-
presses the sense of the Congress that a dip-
lomatic conference of governments should
grant the Red Shield of David the identical
status of recognition as the Red Cross and
the Red Crescent, and should be accepted as
a full member of the League of Red Cross
Societies and the guadrennial International
Conferences of the Red Cross.
The House bill (sec. 172) contains a provi-
sion concerning the recognition of the Red
Shield of David which is similar to the
Senate amendment.
The conference substitute (sec. 742) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but
makes the U.S. contribution to the ICRC
annual, decreases the mandatory U.S. con-
tribution to 10 percent of the ICRC's regu-
lar budget, and deletes the reprogramming
authority.
IMMUNITIES FOR THE ICRC
The Senate amendment (sec. 142) amends
the International Organizations Immunities
Act to authorize the same privileges and im-
munities as are granted to public interna-
tional organizations in which the United
States participates be granted to the Inter-
national Committee of the Red Cross.

Law 84-689, authorizing participation in
NATO parliamentary conferences, to in-
crease the authorization for U.S. participa-
tion in such conferences from $50,000 to
$75,000.
The Senate amendment (sec. 144) amends
Public Law 84-689 to specify that the secre-
taries to the House and Senate delegations
to the North Atlantic Assembly shall be ap-
pointed, respectively, by the chairmen of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the
House of Representatives and the Commit-
tee on Foreign Relations of the Senate.
The conference substitute (sec. 744) com-
bines the two provisions.
U.S. MEMBERSHIP IN INTERGOVERNMENTAL
COMMITTEE FOR EUROPEAN MIGRATION
The Senate amendment (sec. 517) author-
izes the President to continue membership
for the United States in the Intergovern-
mental Committee for European Migration
(ICEM) and, upon entry into force of the
amendments to that organization's 1953
constitution approved on May 20, 1987, to
continue membership in that organization
under the name International Organization
for Migration (ICM). For purposes of assist-
ing in the movement of refugees and mi-
grants, the amendment authorizes such
funds as may be necessary from time to
time for payment by the United States of its
contributions to ICM and all necessary sala-
ries and expenses incidental to U.S. partici-
pation in ICM.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 745) is the
same as the Senate amendment.
RECOGNITION OF CARICOM

sense of Congress that the Secretary of
State should consider recognizing CARI-
COM as a regional planning organization in
the Caribbean.

parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 746) is the
same as the House bill.
ASIAN-PACIFIC REGIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS
CONVENTION
The House bill (sec. 175) contains congres-
sional findings and declarations regarding
the human rights situation in the Asian-Pa-
cific region and mandates a report from the
Secretary of State to the Congress within
180 days of enactment identifying the need
for an Asian-Pacific regional human rights
convention, examining the feasibility of
calling a conference to negotiate such a con-
vention, and making recommendations on
the calling of such a conference.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 747) man-
dates a report from the Secretary of State
to the Congress within 180 days of enact-
ment on the nature and extent of human
rights problems in the Asian-Pacific region
and on the willingness of countries in the
region to negotiate a regional human rights
convention.
The committee of conference notes that
several nations in the Asian-Pacific region,
including Afghanistan, Australia, Burma,
China, India, the Philippines, and Thailand,
supported the United Nations Universal
Declaration of Human rights in 1948; that
there is a precedent for regional cooperation
among the Asian and Pacific Nations as evi-
denced by the formation of the Economic
and Social Commission for Asia and the Pa-
cific; and that the United Nations General
Assembly has repeatedly reaffirmed the
value of regional arrangements for the pro-
motion and protection of human rights.
TITLE VIII-INTERNATIONAL NARCOTICS
CONTROL
ASSIGNMENT OF DEA AGENTS ABROAD
The House bill (sec. 165) provides that if
the Secretary of State authorizes the as-
signment of any Drug Enforcement Admin-
istration (DEA) agent to a particular U.S.
mission abroad, he shall authorize the as-
signment of at least two such agents to that
mission.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 801) is the
same as the House bill. The committee of
conference notes that this provision was in-
cluded to address the problem of two U.S.
ambassadors who have refused to permit an
increase in a one-man DEA office. In the
case of Egypt, the single DEA agent must
cover not only Egypt, but 28 other African
countries as well. The committee strongly
supports DEA's policy of two-man offices
for both security and professional reasons.
QUARTERLY REPORTS ON PROSECUTION OF
THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR TORTURE AND
MURDER OF DEA AGENTS IN MEXICO
The House bill (sec. 166) amends section
134(c) of the Foreign Relations Authoriza-
tion Act, Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987 to in-
clude information on the detention and tor-
ture of DEA agent Victor Cortez to the
quarterly report on progress made in inves-
tigating and prosecuting those responsible
for the 1985 murders of DEA agent Enrique
Camarena and his pilot.

a primary objective in the country plan for
the U.S. mission in each major drug-produc-
ing or drug-transit country. This section
also directs that the necessary steps be
taken to implement effectively existing trea-
ties which provide for the extradition of
narcotics traffickers.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 803) is the
same as the House bill.
INFORMATION-SHARING SYSTEM SO THAT VISAS
ARE DENIED TO DRUG TRAFFFICKERS
The House bill (sec. 168) requires the Sec-
retary of State to submit a report to Con-
gress not later than 90 days after the date
of enactment on the comprehensive infor-
mation-sharing system on drug arrests of
foreign nationals established pursuant to
the Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
Fiscal Years 1986 and 1987.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 804) Is the
same as the House bill. The committee of
conference notes that since the requirement
for information-sharing was originally man-
dated in Public Law 99-93, hundreds of for-
eign nationals who otherwise would have
been allowed to enter the United States
have been denied visas due to their involve-
ment in narcotics trafficking. The commit-
tee of conference therefore urges the De-
partment of State and the DEA to continue
their efforts to implement effectively this
information-sharing system.
CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR DRUG PRODUC-
ING AND DRUG-TRANSIT COUNTRIES AND IN-
CLUSION OF SPECIFIC AGENCY COMMENTS
The Senate amendment (sec. 562) amends
section 481(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act
to change the date of submission of the
annual International Narcotics Control
Strategy Report (INCSR) from March 1 to
February 1 of each year and adds a new sub-
section requiring specific comments and rec-
ommendations by appropriate Federal agen-
cies involved in drug enforcement. The
Senate amendment also extends the time
period for congressional disapproval of Pres-
idential certifications on major drug-produc-
ing and transit countries from 30 to 60 days.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 805) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but-does
not change the date of submission of the
annual INCSR report, and extends the con-
gressional review period from 30 to 45 days.
SANCTIONS ON DRUG PRODUCING AND DRUG-
TRANSITING COUNTRIES
The Senate amendment (sec. 552) amends
section 802(a) of the Trade Act of 1974 to
add to the current list of tariff sanctions on
any country which the President has deter-
mined is not fully cooperating in antinarco-
tics efforts the following new three sanc-
tions: Limiting by one-half the number of
visas that may be issued for aliens born in
such countries for nonimmigration status
described in section 101(a)(15)(B) of the Im-
migration and Nationality Act; authorizing
the President to take certain steps to curtail
air transportation between the United
States and that country; and mandating the
withdrawal of personnel and resources of
the United States from participation in any
arrangement with that country for the pre-
clearance of customs by visitors between the
United States and that country.
The Senate amendment further amends
section 802(b) of the Trade Act to require
the President, in determining whether a
country has cooperated fully with the
United States In preventing illicit drug pro-
duction and trafficking, to consider whether
such government has taken the legal and
law enforcement steps necessary to elimi-
nate, to the maximum extent possible, cor-
ruption by government officials, with par-
ticular emphasis on the elimination of brib-
ery.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 806) is
similar to the Senate amendment, with the
following exception: An amendment making
technical corrections, and clarifying the
President's authority to curtail air transpor-
tation agreements with a foreign country in
an orderly manner an amendment making
the shutdown of U.S.. preclearance facilities
discretionary rather than mandatory; an
amendment deleting the provision which
authorizes the President to reduce nonim-
migrant visas by one-half to noncooperative
countries; and an amendment to the Immi-
gration and Nationality Act clarifying that
individuals convicted of violations of drug
statues may be barred from entry into the
United States. The provision dealing with
reductions in nonimmigrant visas was given
serious consideration by the committee of
conference before it was deleted. The com-
mittee of conference intends to monitor
carefully the cooperation received from
drug-producing and drug-transit countries,
and will give serious consideration to fur-
ther expanding the list of sanctions in the
future should those countries fail to Cooper-
ate fully in the fight against narcotics pro-
duction and trafficking. In particular, the
committee of conference notes that this
provision is Intended to address the continu-
ing lack of cooperation from the Govern-
ment of the Bahamas in curbing drug-relat-
ed corruption in that country.
TITLE IX. IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE
PROVISIONS
PROHIBITION IN EXCLUSION OR DEPORTATION
OF ALIENS OF CERTAIN GROUNDS
The Senate amendment (sec. 504) prohib-
its the exclusion of any alien on the basis of
any past or current political beliefs or politi-
cal associations, or on the basis of the ex-
pected contents of the alien's statements
while in the United States.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 901) is in-
tended to ensure that no alien is denied a
visa or excluded from admission into, the
United States, subject to conditions or re-
strictions on entry into the United States,
or subject to deportation because of any
past, current, or expected beliefs, state-
ments or associations which would be pro-
tected under the Constitution if engaged in
by a U.S. citizen in the United States.
The committee of conference notes that
current law provides authority to the execu-
tive branch to deny admission to aliens or to
deport them on a variety of grounds includ-
ing those related to national security, ideo-
logical or political beliefs, and, more gener-
ally, the interests of the United States (8
U.S.C. 1182(a)). These provisions, since their
codification in 1952 as part of the Immigra-
tion and Nationality Act, have been used by
the executive branch to deny aliens entry
into the United States on the basis not only
of their potential threat to the national se-
curity interests of the United States or their
past involvement in criminal activity, but
also on the basis of their expression of be-
liefs, their advocacy of political positions, or
their association in political organizations
which would be constitutionally protected if
engaged in by U.S. citizens within the
United States.
During the past 35 years, a large number
of well-known foreign politicans, authors,
academicians, journalists, and artists, as
H 11343
well as thousands of ordinary citizens from
foreign countries have been barred from en-
tering this country, forced to undergo the
indignity of answering embarrassing ques-
tions about their political or personal activi-
ties, or since enactment of the "McGovern
Amendment" in 1977, required to submit to
a lengthy bureaucractic process in order to
obtain a waiver to enter the United States.
The committee of conference notes that,
as a result of this history of visa denial, the
citizens of the United States have been
denied the opportunity to have access to the
full spectrum of international opinion, and
the reputation of the United States as an
open society, tolerant of divergent ideas, has
suffered. Though the U.S. record in this
regard is on the whole exemplary and cer-
tainly far superior to that of most other na-
tions, including those known for the fre-
quent and egregious violations of their own
citizens' human rights and freedom of ex-
pression, the committee of conference be-
lieves that, in order to make it clear that
the United States is not fearful of foreign
ideas or criticism or the individuals who
espouse such ideas or advance such criti-
cism, a thorough reform of the grounds for
exclusion and deportation is necessary and
long overdue. Furthermore, the committee
of conference observes that some of the
grounds for exclusion and deportation may
be at variance with U.S. international obli-
gations as expressd in the Helsinki Accords.
Again, though the U.S. record of compliance
with the provisions of the Helsinki Accords
is superior to that of most nations of the
world, the conferees believe that would be
appropriate to reform these grounds in
order to further the process of improved
Helsinki compliance.
The conference substitute continues to
permit the denial of visas or the deportation
of aliens when it is in the interests of the
United States, but makes it clear that it is
not in the interests of the United States to
establish one standard of ideology for citi-
zens and another for foreigners who wish to
visit the United States. Accordingly, under
this section the executive branch would
retain the ability to exclude or deport alie^s
on criminal, espionage, and terrorism
grounds (among others), and, in certain cir-
cumstances, on national security and for-
eign policy grounds. But national security or
foreign policy exclusion or deportation
would not be permitted if such exclusion or
deportation were based on beliefs, state-
ments, or associations which would be con-
stitutionally protected if engaged in by U.S.
citizens In the United States. Under this sec-
tion, statements would be construed as in-
cluding writings and other forms of non-
verbal communications.
Under this standard, it would still be ap-
propriate, to the extent it is consistent with
this section and existing law, for the execu-
tive branch to deny a visa to an alien to
avoid conveying the impression that the
U.S. Government recognizes or supports any
government or group which the United
States does not choose to recognize or sup-
port. An example of this situation might be
a case In which an alien was applying to
enter this country as the representative of a
country which the United States or the
international community does not recog-
nize. Other examples might include: The ex-
clusion of a former foreign leader whose
mere entry into the United States would
threaten imminent harm to the lives and
property of U.S. citizens abroad; or the im-
position of restrictions on the visa of a hos-
tile foreign national who wanted access to
sensitive information about nuclear power
or who sought access to restricted areas or
to sensitive technology.

H 11344 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD - HOUSE December 14, 1987
These and other foreign policy and na-
tional security based exclusions, restric-
tions, or deportations would be appropriate
provided that they were not based on the
constitutionally protected activities de-
scribed in paragraph (a) of the conference
substitute. For example, such exclusions, re-
strictions, or deportations would not be ap-
propriate if based on an alien's criticism of
the United States or U.S. policies; an alien's
attempt to influence lawfully the outcome
of legislation before the Congress; or an
alien's mere membership in a Communist,
anarchist, or other organization proscribed
under current law. However, this section
should not be construed as conferring addi-
tional constitutional rights on aliens.
Notwithstanding the general prohibition
on exclusion or deportation because of con-
stitutionally protected activities, the execu-
tive branch would retain the discretionary
power to exclude or deport in certain limit-
ed circumstances.
First, exclusion or deportation would be
appropriate in the case of an individual who
has committed or who is likely to engage
after entry in terrorist activity. In consider-
ing whether a person has been involved in
terrorist activities under paragraph (b)(2), it
is the intent of the managers to include per-
sons involved in hostage taking, kidnaping,
threatened violence or other acts which do
not actually Involve death or injury. These
acts, whether or not they actually result in
bodily harm, are a form of violence and are
crimes. The managers also consider that or-
ganizing, abetting, or participating in terror-
its acts or activities would include not only
actually pulling a trigger or planting a bomb
but providing support or assistance, such as
but not limited to: planning, providing fa-
cilities, recruiting, financing or fundraising,
surveillance, courier service, transportation,
providing weapons, or forging or unlawfully
procuring documents. The term "terrorist
activity" as used in paragraph (b)(2) of the
substitute is intended to include interna-
tional, targeted acts of terrorism such as as-
sassination. The phrase "individuals not in-
volved in armed hostilities" as used para-
graph (b)(2) of the substitute is intended to
mean noncombatants. An alien would be
considered to have participated in an act of
terrorism whether he or she did so individ-
ually or as a member of an organization.
Second, the executive branch would be
permitted to exclude or deport representa-
tives of labor organizations which are in-
truments of totalitarian states when such
representatives are traveling in an official
capacity. Therefore, the section would not
Drevent such an official from entering the
United States to, for example, travel as a
.ourist, visit relatives or receive medical
reatment.
Third, the prohibitions on exclusion and
;eportation, in particular those based on
Institutionally protected associations,
ould not apply to aliens who have assisted
n Nazi persecutions, aliens seeking refugee
~atus, asylum, withholding of deportation
?:- legalization who have engaged in persecu-
_ion, or an alien who is a member, officer,
)fficial, representative, or spokesman of the
i'LO.
Finally, the conferees do not intend that
this section be viewed as in any way affect-
ing the existing authority of the President
to deny admissions by proclamation or to
deny entry to aliens when the United States
is at war or during the existence of a nation-
al emergency proclaimed by the President.
Paragraph (c) of the conference substitute
simply makes clear that no standing beyond
that which currently exists would be con-
ferred by the section. The committee of con-
ference notes that there are several pending
legislative proposals which would expand
such standing, and the conferees take no po-
sition on the advisability of adopting such
changes.
The committee of conference notes that
the Committee on Judiciary of both the
House of Representatives and the Senate
have under consideration legislation aimed
at revising the grounds for exclusion and de-
portation by directly amending the Immi-
gration and Nationality Act. The conferees
expect that comprehensive legislation revis-
ing these grounds will be acted upon by
these committees early in the second session
of the 100th Congress.
Because of the expected expeditious con-
sideration of comprehensive legislation re-
vising these grounds by the Committees on
Judiciary, the committee of conference has
included a 1-year sunset provision in the
conference substitute. Under this provision,
visas which were applied for during calendar
year 1988 and admissions into the United
States which are sought during the period
beginning on January 1, 1988, through Feb-
ruary 28, 1989, would be covered by this sec-
tion. The additional 60 days for admission
into the United States was added in order to
permit entry into the United States on the
basis of visas issued late in 1988 which may
not be used until early 1989.
It is the intent of the committee of confer-
ence that this section apply to all visas ap-
plied for in 1988, including immigrant and
nonimmigrant visas, and to all determina-
tions in admissibility made after December
31, 1987, and before March 1, 1988. Aliens
denied visas or found inadmissible in the
past for reasons that would have been pro-
hibited by this provision shall be eligible to
reapply in 1988. The conference substitute
would apply whether the alien was denied a
visa or found inadmissible from abroad, at
the border, or in the context of an applica-
tion for permanent resident status. It is also
the intent of the committee of conference
that visas issued during 1988, and perma-
nent resident status granted during 1988,
shall not be subject to recision after 1988
for reasons prohibited by paragraph (a) of
the conference substitute.
ADJUSTMENT TO LAWFUL RESIDENT STATUS OF
CERTAIN NATIONALS OF COUNTRIES FOR
WHICH EXTENDED VOLUNTARY DEPARTURE
HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE
The Senate amendment (sec. 528) provides
that nationals of Poland who continuously
resided in the United States since July 21,
1984, and for whom a record has been estab-
lished by the Immigration and Naturaliza-
tion Service would be able to apply for ad-
justment to permanent resident status.
The House -bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 902) de-
letes the record requirement and makes two
additional changes. First, it extends the
benefits of adjustment not only to qualify-
ing nationals of Poland, but also to other
nationality groups for which extended vol-
untary departure status (EVD) has been
provided in past years. Specifically, qualify-
trig nationals of any country the nationals
of which were granted, or allowed to contin-
ue in, EVD status at any time during the
past 5 years would be entitled to adjust.
Though the statutory authority to grant
EVD has never been precisely identified, the
Congress has been consistently advised by
the executive branch that only the follow-
ing groups constitute the nationalities for
which EVD status was provided during the
preceding 5 years: Poles, Ugandans, Ethiopi-
ans, and Afghans. Thus the conference sub-
stitute effectively extends benefits to quali-
fying aliens only of those nationalities.
Second, the conference substitute grants
to qualifying aliens temporary resident
status rather than the permanent resident
status provided in the Senate amendment.
This status, which does permit eventual ad-
justment to permanent resident status and
U.S. citizenship, places the beneficiaries of
this substitute on the same footing as aliens
legalized render section 245A of the Immi-
gration and Nationality Act. Again, in order
to maintain equality of treatment, the
Polish, Ugandan, Ethiopian, and Afghan
beneficiaries under the conference substi-
tute will be subject to the same conditions
and responsibilities imposed upon aliens
under the legalization program.
PROCESSING OF CUBAN NATIONALS FOR
ADMISSION TO THE UNITED STATES
The House bill (sec. 132) requires the Sec-
retary of State to submit a report not later
than 60 days after the date of enactment on
current U.S. policies regarding the granting
of entry visas and political asylum to former
and current political prisoners in Cuba. The
House bill (sec. 199B) also requires the De-
partment of State to process refugee appli-
cations from Cuban political prisoners with-
out regard to the length of their imprison-
ment.
The Senate amendment (sec. 526) also re-
quires the processing of refugee applications
from Cuban political prisoners without
regard to duration of imprisonment and re-
establishes normal immigration processing
for Cuban nationals.
The conference substitute for these provi-
sions is similar to the Senate amendment
with the following changes: (1) adds lan-
guage referencing the reinstatement on No-
vember 20, 1987, of the 1984 agreement be-
tween the United States and Cuba regarding
the normalization of immigration proce-
dures between the two countires; (2) man-
dates the resumption of normal immigra-
tion procedures in third countries and speci-
fies that such procedures may not be sus-
pend for any reason; and (3) adds clarifying
language to ensure that the same immigra-
tion procedures shall be followed for
Cubans in third countries as are followed
for all other nationalities.
The committee of conference points out
that the bilateral agreement between the
United States and Cuba calls for the total
restoration of normal immigration proce-
dures. Specifically, the agreement calls for
the United States to "resume issuance of
preference immigrant visas to Cuban na-
tionals' ? ? (and to take) all necessary meas-
ures to ensure that Cuban nationals residing
in Cuba wishing to emigrate to the United
States and who qualify under U.S. law to re-
ceive immigrant visa, may enter the United
States, taking maximum advantage of the
number of up to 20,000 immigrants per
year."
The conference substitute takes into ac-
count the serious concerns of the Depart-
ment of State that legislative restoration of
normal immigration procedures at this time
could jeopardize implementation of the bi-
lateral agreement. The committee of confer-
ence intends that in the event of future
problems with the implementation of the
agreement, the advisability of legislatively
mandating normal immigration procedures
for all Cubans will be revisited. The commit-
tee of conference is concerned with the
plight of U.S. citizens and permanent resi-
dent aliens who cannot be rejoined with
close family members who have applied or
qualified (or both) for immigrant visas. The
continued separation of these families is a
serious problem and the committee of con-
ference is hopeful that, with the reinstate-
ment of the agreement, this problem will be
eliminated. If for some reason this does not
occur, the committee of conference urges

the appropriate committees of Congress to
review this matter in the second session of
the 100th Congress.
The committee of conference urges the
Department of State to use every available
means and international forums to press the
Cuban Government to live up to its Mariel
agreement to permit the return of those
2,746 Cuban nationals found inadmissible to
the United States because of serious crimi-
nal records or severe mental illness. The
committee of conference finds the contin-
ued refusal of the Castro regime to live up
to the terms of this agreement a major ob-
stacle to any lessening of tensions or im-
provement in relations between our two na-
tions. Cuba's behavior in this matter is not
only a serious breach of normal internation-
al law and practice, but a flagrant violation
of the human rights of these Cubans and
their families who wish to return to their
homeland.
NATURALIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTAIN
CUBAN POLITICAL PRISONERS
The Senate amendment (sec. 549) waives
the naturalization requirements of continu-
ous residence and physical presence for six
Cuban political prisoners now residing in
the United States.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision.
INDOCHINESE REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT
The Senate amendment (secs. 702-709):
(1) contains congressional findings regard-
ing the plight of Indochinese refugees in
first asylum countries in Southeast Asia and
the responsibility of the United States and
the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees for the deterioration of refugee
programs in the region; (2) contains con-
gressional findings regarding the problems
of processing of Indochinese refugees by the
Immigration and Naturalization Service; (3)
requires the president to submit a report to
Congress not later than 120 days after the
date of enactment of this act assessing the
merits of transferring the authority to
admit all refugees under the Immigration
and Nationality Act from the Attorney Gen-
eral to the Secretary of State; (4) expresses
the sense of Congress regarding the alloca-
tion of refugee admissions from East Asia
first asylum camps, the Orderly Departure
Program from Vietnam, and Indochinese
refugees who have lived in camps for more
than 3 years; (5) earmarks $5 million for
each of the fiscal years 1988 and 1989 from
development assistance (education) for edu-
cational programs, projects and activities
along the Thai-Lao and Thai-Cambodian
borders; (6) earmarks $5 million in economic
support fund assistance for each of the
fiscal years 1988 and 1989 for assistance for
Thai villages affected by the influx of Indo-
chinese refugee; (7) earmarks $2 million
from funds authorized for international
military education and training for each of
the fiscal years 1988 and 1989 to train and
deploy the Royal Thai Army to better pro-
tect Indochinese refugees; and (8) expresses
the sense of Congress that the international
community should increase efforts to assure
Indochinese refugee camps are protected
and that international observers and relief
workers should be present on a 24-hour-a-
day basis in any camp where it is deemed
necessary.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 904): (1)
expresses the sense of Congress that the
United States continues to be committed to
playing a major role in responding to the
Indochinese refugee problem and that the
Government of Thailand should be com-
mended for recently allowing the United
States to begin processing Cambodian refu-
gee ration cardholders in Khao I Dang and
for its cooperation in creating a more effec-
tive antipiracy campaign; (2) expresses the
sense of Congress that the Department of
State should urge the Government of Thai-
land to allow full access to the Lao Screen-
ing program for all Lao refugees, particular-
ly hill tribe people, and directs the Depart-
ment of State and responsible international
organizations to address the protection
problems of the Khmer along the Thai-
Cambodian border; (3) requires the Presi-
dent to submit a report to the Congress
within 180 days of enactment on the respec-
tive roles of the Immigration and Natural-
ization Service and the Department of State
on the refugee program with recommenda-
tions for improving the effectiveness and ef-
ficiency of that program; (4) states that the
President should continue to recommend
generous numbers of admissions from East
Asia first asylum camps and from the Or-
derly Departure Program sufficient to sus-
tain preservation of first asylum and securi-
ty for Indochinese in Southeast Asia, con-
sistent with worldwide refugee require-
ments; and (5) earmarks $1 million for edu-
cational programs for protection, improved
health care, nutrition, education, and skills
training programs for refugees in Thailand.
AMERASIAN CHILDREN IN VIETNAM
The House bill (sec. 182) contains congres-
sional findings and declarations concerning
the plight of Amerasian children still in
Vietnam and expresses the sense of the
Congress that the United States should
maintain its commitment to receive these
children in Vietnam, that the interviewing
process is essential to the emigration of
such children and their families to the
United States, and that Vietnam should
resume the processing of such children for
emigration.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 905) is
similar to the House bill, but indicates that
the United States and the Socialist Republic
of Vietnam have concluded an agreement
permitting the resumption of interviews and
processing in Ho Chi Minh City under the
Orderly Departure Program.
REFUGEES FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA
The Senate amendment (sec. 512) contains
congressional findings that most Cambodi-
ans not associated with the Khmer Rouge
or the Heng Samrin regime have a well
founded fear of persecution if they face
forced return to Cambodia. The Senate
amendment also urges that any refugee in
Khao I Dang camp should be interviewed
for eligibility for the U.S. refugee resettle-
ment program irrespective of the date the
person had actually arrived in that camp
and that the United States should work to
expeditiously reunite separated refugee
families. The Senate amendment also urges
the Department of State to appeal to the
Royal Thai Government not to forcibly re-
patriate Hmong and other Lao refugees to
Laos, since they face the threat of grave
consequences and even death if returned to
that country without safeguards.
The House bill contained no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 906) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but de-
letes reference to the Orderly Departure
Program from Vietnam since that program
has resumed.
RELEASE OF YANG WEI
The Senate amendment (sec. 558) ex-
presses the sense of Congress that the Peo-
ple's Republic of China should immediately
H 11345
release Yang Wei, a student of the Universi-
ty of ' Arizona, who has been imprisoned
without charge since January 11, 1987, and
that the United States should offer ex-
tended voluntary departure status to Chi-
nese students in the United States who can
demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecu-
tion.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 907) re-
places the phrase "offer extended voluntary
departure status" with "should consider
sympathetically application for asylum".
CLAIM OF JOSEPH KAREL HASEK
The Senate amendment (sec. 506) contains
congressional findings concerning Private
Law 98-54, which provided for the compen-
sation of Mr. Joseph Karel Hasek from the
Czechosolvakian Claims Fund for losses
arising from his departure from Czechoslo-
vakia, and directs the Secretary of the
Treasury to pay Mr. Hasek $250,000 plus in-
terest from that fund 30 days after the date
of enactment or before the beginning of the
final distribution of payments made under
the Czechosolvakian Claims Settlement Act
of 1981.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision.
PROHIBITION OF EXPULSION OF PERSONS
SEEKING POLITICAL ASYLUM
The Senate amendment (sec. 570) prohib-
its the expulsion of any person from a Com-
munist country seeking political asylum and
suspends any U.S. Government employee
for 365 days who ordered such an expulsion
without the prior personal review of the
Secretary of State and the Attorney Gener-
al. The Senate amendment also requires a
notice of this provision to be posted in every
U.S. Embassy in a Communist country.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes this
provision.
INTERNATIONAL PARENTAL CHILD ABDUCTION
The Senate amendment (secs. 901-913)
provides legislation to facilitate implemen-
tation of the 1980 Hague Convention on the
Civil Aspects of International Child Abduc-
tion in the United States. The Convention
establishes legal rights and procedures for
the prompt return of children in cases of
international abduction and retention, and
for securing visitation rights. The Senate
amendment also provides for various admin-
istrative and judicial remedies in cases of
international abduction, establishes a cen-
tral authority for dealing with such cases,
establishes an interagency coordinating
group to monitor operation of the Conven-
tion and to provide advice on its implemen-
tation, and contains various amendments to
the Social Security Act and the Internal
Revenue Code. In addition, the Senate
amendment (sec. 531) provides that interna-
tional parental child abduction is a criminal
offense punishable by fines, up to 3 years in
jail, or both.
The House bill continues no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes these
provisions on the understanding that the
committees of jurisdiction in the House of
Representatives and the Senate address this
issue early in the next session of Congress.
TITLE X-ANTI-TERRORISM ACT OF 1987

funds provided by the PLO, and makes it
unlawful to establish or maintain an office
within the jurisdiction of the United States
at the behest or direction of, or with funds
provided by, the PLO. In addition, the
Senate amendment requires the Attorney
General to enforce these provisions in the
United States District Courts and grants
those courts authority to issue the neces-
sary decrees to enforce these provisions.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1001-1005)
is the same as the Senate amendment.
TITLE XI-GLOBAL CLIMATE PROTECTION
The Senate amendment (secs. 401 to 409)
contains congressional findings concerning
manmade pollution and its effect on the cli-
mate of the earth and directs the President
to establish a task force on the global cli-
mate which-shall be mandated to determine
and supervise research for a coordinated na-
tional strategy on the global climate. The
Senate amendment also details the composi-
tion of the task force and the advisory role
of the Congress, and requires the task force
to develop and transmit to the President,
not later than 12 months after the date of
enactment, a U.S. strategy on the global cli-
mate. The President is required to submit
,the strategy on the global climate, together
with recommendations for further legisla-
tive action, to the Congress not later than 3
months after receipt of the strategy.
The Senate amendment also directs the
President to appoint an Ambassador at
Large to coordinate U.S. Government par-
ticipation in the task force and represent
the Secretary of State in its operations.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (secs. 1101-
1106) contains a revised set of findings, calls
on the President to work with the Adminis-
trator of the Environmental Protection
Agency, along with other appropriate Fed-
eral agencies, to develop and propose to
Congress a coordinated national policy on
global climate change. The National Cli-
mate Program Office continues to have au-
thority for developing a coordinated re-
search agenda for the Federal Government
in the area of climate research and assess-
ment pursuant to Public Laws 95-367 and
99-272. The Office of Science and Technolo-
gy Policy's Committee on Earth Sciences re-
mains charged with developing long-range
plans for Federal research and development
in earth sciences and man's impact on global
environment. Nothing in this title should be
construed to effect the scientific research
conducted by any Federal agency, or as au-
thorizing or requiring the adoption of any
regulatory or control measures.
The conference substitute also authorizes
the Secretary of State to coordinate aspects-
of U.S. policy through international organi-
zations. In addition, the conference substi-
tute requests that the Secretary of State
and the Administrator of EPA submit to all
relevant committees of the Congress a
report that includes: a summary analysis of
current international scientific understand-
ing of the greenhouse effect; an assessment
of U.S. efforts to gain international coopera-
tion in limiting global climate change; and a
description of the strategy by which the
United States intends to seek further inter-
national cooperation to limit such change.
The committee of conference -intends that
this report not duplicate or replicate ongo-
ing studies and reports on global climate
change. Finally, the substitute calls on the
Secretary of State to undertake all neces-
sary steps to promote within the U.N.
system the early designation of an Interna-
tional Year on Global Climate Protection,
and calls on the President to include the
problem of climate protection on the
agenda of bilateral discussions with the
Soviet Union.
TITLE XII-REGIONAL FOREIGN RELATIONS
MATTERS
PART A-Sovnrr UNION AND EASTERN EUROPE
SOVIET BALLISTIC MISSILE TESTS NEAR HAWAII
The Senate amendments (sec. 520) con-
tains congressional findings concerning
recent Soviet heavy intercontinental ballis-
tic missile tests near the islands of Hawaii
and expresses the sense of Congress that
this test has increased the threat of nuclear
war, and that the Congress condemns the
Soviet Union for its actions as demonstrat-
ing an utter disdain for civilized and accept-
able standards of international behavior, as
well as probable violations of the SALT II
treaty, and demands a public apology.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1201) re-
tains the congressional findings, and ex-
presses the sense of the Congress that these
actions by the Soviet government were pro-
vocative and unnecessary, that the United
States should officially protest these actions
and seek assurances from the Soviets that
such missile firings will not occur In the
future, and that the President should report
to the Congress on the details of these tests,
including the irradiation of U.S. monitoring
aircraft, on Soviet explanations offered in
response to U.S. protests, and steps to be
taken to ensure that such activities will not
happen in the future.
SOVIET VIOLATIONS OF THE ABM TREATY
The Senate amendments (sec. 568) re-
quires the President to report not later than
30 days after the date of enactment on
whether Soviet violations of the ABM
Treaty and the failure of the Treaty to
reduce or limit the increase of Soviet offen-
sive ICBM systems jeopardize the supreme
national interests of the United States, and
whether the United States should withdraw
from the ABM Treaty.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes the
Senate provision on the failure to achieve
permanent constraints on Soviet strategic
offensive forces which could threaten the
survivability of U.S. strategic offensive
forces, and U.S. intentions regarding possi-
ble withdrawal from the ABM Treaty. The
committee of conference notes that the
Senate conferees expect that the President
will address the issues raised by the original
Senate provision in the context of the
annual report required by section 52 of the
Arms Control and Disarmament Act.
EMIGRATION OF JEWS AND OTHERS WHO WISH
TO EMIGRATE FROM THE SOVIET UNION
The House bill (sec. 178) contains congres-
sional findings and a statement of policy re-
garding Soviet policy regarding Soviet Jews
and other Soviet citizens denied their basic
human rights, including the right to emi-
grate.
The Senate amendment contains no com-
parable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1202) ex-
presses the sense of Congress that the
Soviet Union respect the human rights of
those Soviet Jews and other Soviet citizens
wishing to emigrate from the Soviet Union,
practice their religion, exercise cultural
rights or engage in free intellectual pur-
suits.
The committee of conference regards the
release of jailed dissidents and the resolu-
tion of longstanding emigration cases as
positive developments in the Soviet human
rights situation and hopes that this action
continues. However, the committee of con-
ference notes with concern that there con-
tinues to be political prisoners and unre-
solved emigration cases, including Jewish re-
fuseniks and U.S.-Soviet divided spouses,
and continues to be concerned about viola-
tions of human rights in the Soviet Union
including restrictions on the practice of reli-
gion, the exercise of cultural rights, and the
denial of freedom of religion.
SYSTEMATIC NONDELIVERY OF INTERNATIONAL
MAIL ADDRESSED TO CERTAIN PERSONS RESID-
ING WITHIN THE SOVIET UNION
The House bill (sec. 179) contained find-
ings and a statement of policy regarding the
systematic nondelivery of international mail
by the Soviet Union. The Senate amend-
ment contains no comparable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1203) ex-
presses the sense of the Congress that the
President and the Department of State
should express American disapproval of the
systematic nondelivery of international mail
to the Soviet Government and should ask
other member countries of the Universal
Postal Union to support the adoption of
amendments to the Universal Postal Con-
vention and other measures to encourage
improved postal performance by the Soviet
Union.
The committee of conference found that
postal items mailed in the United States are
systematically not being delivered to select-
ed addresses in the Soviet Union; that such
nondelivery is a violation of the Universal
Postal Convention, the Universal Declara-
tion of Human Rights, the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and
the Final Act of the Conference on Security
and Cooperation in Europe; and that expla-
nations required under international law
and given by the Soviet postal administra-
tion have been inaccurate, Insufficient, or
untimely.
U.S. POLICY AGAINST PERSECUTION OF CHRIS-
TIANS IN EASTERN EUROPE AND THE SOVIET
UNION
The Senate amendment (sec. 515) contains
extensive findings about the denial of reli-
gious freedom to Christians in each of the
countries of Eastern Europe and the Soviet
Union. The Senate amendment contains a
statement of policy expressing the sense of
the Congress that the President should con-
tinue to express to the Soviet and East Eu-
ropean governments the deep concern and
opposition of the United States to the har-
assment of Christians, the Soviet and East
European governments should comply with
their international commitments to respect
human rights and should immediately cease
the persecution of Christians. The House
bill contains no comparable provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1204) is
similar to the statement of policy section of
the Senate amendment expressing concerns
about the harassment and persecution of
Christians and other believers. The commit-
tee of conference notes with grave concern
the restrictions on the right to practice and
profess religion in the Soviet Union, Alba-
nia, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, the German
Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Ro-
mania, and Yugoslavia and the persecution
of Christians and other religious believers in
those countries. The harassment and perse-
cution of Christians and other believers
occurs, in practice, despite the professed
policies of most of these countries, and that
such harassment and persecution is a viola-
tion of the Helsinki Act. The committee of
conference also notes the obligations under-
taken by each of those nations, except Alba-

nia, as signatories to the Helsinki Final Act
to "respect human rights and fundamental
freedoms, including the freedom of thought,
conscience, religion and belief for all with.
out distinction as to race, sex, language of
religion" and urges the governments of
those countries to abide by their interna-
tional human rights commitments in this
regard.
OBSERVANCE BY THE GOVERNMENT OF ROMANIA
OF HUMAN RIGHTS OF HUNGARIANS IN TRAN-
SYLVANIA
The Senate amendment (sec. 516) contains
findings and a statement of policy concern-
ing the observance by the Government of
Romania of the human rights of Hungar-
ians in Transylvania.
The House bill (sec. 180) contains a simi-
lar provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1025) ex-
presses the sense of the Congress deploring
the activities of the Government of Roma-
nia which restrict the internationally recog-
nized human rights of Hungarians and
others in Transylvania. The committee of
conference finds that Romania pursues a
policy of denationalization toward Hungar-
ians and people of other nationalities in
Transylvania by measures approximating
ethnocide, including the destruction of Hun-
garian language schools and documents of
the Hungarian past of Transylvania, and
the dispersion of the Hungarian intelligen-
tsia; interferes with the internal affairs of
all its religious communities, severely limit-
ing or banning all their social and teaching
activities, and discriminating against their
members In employment, education, and
promotion. The committee of conference
notes with concern the denial of these inter-
nationally recognized human rights and
calls on the Romanian government to abide
by its commitments under the Final Act of
the Conference on Security and Coopera-
tion in Europe to respect human rights and
fundamental freedoms.
SELF-DETERMINATION OF THE PEOPLE OF
ESTONIA, LATVIA, AND LITHUANIA
The Senate amendment (sec. 518) con-
taines congressional findings regarding the
subjugation of the people of the Baltic
states by the Soviet Union and a statement
of policy recognizing the desire and the
right of the Baltic peoples for freedom and
independence. The Senate amendment also
calls on the President to direct world atten-
tion to the right of self-determination of
the people of the Baltic states.
The House bill (sec. 801) containes a simi-
lar provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1206) ex-
presses the sense of Congress that the
desire and right of the Baltic peoples for
freedom and independence should be recog-
nized, that the President should direct
world attention to the right of self-determi-
nation of the Baltic peoples by issuing a
statement of support for the right of self-
determination of all peoples and the nonrec-
ognition of the forced incorporation of the
Baltic states into the Soviet Union, that the
President should call attention to human
rights violations in the Baltic states and
promote compliance with the human rights
and humanitarian provisions of the Helsinki
Final Act in the Baltic states.
The committee of conference is particular-
ly concerned about Soviet policies designed
to change the ethnic character of the popu-
lations of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania
and about the Soviet Government's refusal
to allow the Baltic peoples to exercise inter-
nationally recognized human rights and the
right of self-determination. The committee
of conference notes that the Baltic peoples
continue to show their discontent with for-
eign domination and their desire for liberty
through demonstrations, the most recent on
August 23, 1887, to mark the signing of the
Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which consigned
the Baltic states to a Soviet sphere of influ-
ence. The committee of conference strongly
urges the President to call attention to the
harassment, arrest, imprisonment, and ex-
pulsion of peaceful protestors, as well as
other violations of Internationally recog-
nized human rights in the Baltic states.
ASSISTANCE IN SUPPORT OF DEMOCRACY IN
POLAND
The Senate amendment (sec. 530) ear-
marks $1 million for each of the fiscal years
1988 and 1989 from the economic support
fund account for the unconditional support
of the independent Polish trade union Soli-
darity.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1207) ex-
presses congressional support for Solidarity,
but earmarks $1 million for fiscal year 1988
from the economic support fund account for
unconditional support of democratic institu-
tions and activities in Poland in lieu of the
direct earmark for Solidarity. The commit-
tee of conference intends that the $1 million
be channeled through the National Endow-
ment for Democracy's Free Trade Union In-
stitute for use in Poland in full consultation
with representatives of Solidarity.
The committee of conference devoted con-
siderable attention to the issue of whether
funds should be directly earmarked for Soli-
darity. This issue has caused considerable
disagreement within the Polish American
community and representatives of Solidari-
ty in Poland an its affiliated office in Brus-
sels. The following are two communications
received by members of the committee of
conference regarding the disposition of
funds authorized by this section:
POLISH AMERICAN CONGRESS, INC.,

Hon. DANTE B. FASCELL,
Chairman, Foreign Affairs Committee, Ray-
burn House Office Building, Washing-
ton, DC.
DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: This letter is to ex-
press our appreciation to you and the other
Representatives who initiated and voted for
the bill which indicates the strong endorse-
ment of the U.S. Congress for Solidarity
and supports funding for the "democratic
institutions and activities" in Poland.
Let me emphasize that the Polish Ameri-
can Congress has been guided by one consid-
eration, namely; how to assist Solidarity in
the most effective way. In this respect we
have to follow the advise of Lech Walesa
and the Provisional Executive Committee of
Solidarity in Poland.
Walesa made it clear in his letter to the
Members of Congress and even in more spe-
cific terms in the letter to Lane Kirkland,
the President of the AFL/CIO, that Solidar-
ity as a trade union organization can accept
badly needed funds only from free trade
union organizations in the West. The one
million dollars Congress allocated to Soli-
darity for FY87 had to be diverted by Soli-
darity to health services through the 'Soli-
darity Social Fund'. In order to avoid a simi-
lar situation we are supporting the amend-
ment to the language of the bill as it was
passed last week by your Committee.
Since I understand that a different view
was offered by an officer from one of our
State Divisions, let me stress emphatically
that only the President of Polish American
Congress and it's Executive Committee have
authority to speak on behalf of our organi-
zation. As far as Solidarity is a concerned,
the only authority which we recognize is
H 11347
Lech Walesa and the Provisional Executive
Committee of Solidarity in Poland.
Respectfully,
ALOYSIUS A. MAZEWSKI,
President.
COORDINATING OFFICE ABROAD OF
NSZZ,
Brussels, December 3, 1987.
Hon. JESSE HELMS,
U.S. Senate, Washington, DC.
DEAR SIR: First, allow me to express once
again my deep appreciation and thanks for
your personal involvement in the NSZZ "So-
lidarnosc" cause. In response to the ques-
tions you posed during the telephone con-
versation two hours ago, I would like to
repeat the main points of my answers in
order to avoid any misunderstanding.
1. The Coordinating Office Abroad of
NSZZ "Solidarnosc" was established in
Brussels, Belgium on 1 July 1982 by the
Temporary Coordinating Commission
(TKK) of NSZZ "Solidarnosc"-the then
clandestine executive leadership of our
Union in Poland. Recently, the national
leadership of NSZZ "Solidarnosc" has been
assumed by the newly established above-
ground body-the National Executive Com-
mission (KKW) headed by Lech Walesa, the
Union's President. The Coordinating Office
has been made subordinate to the KKW,
and its mandate as the sole representation
of NSZZ "Solidarnosc" outside of Poland is
unchanged. This mandate can be confirmed
by the International Confederation of Free
Trade Unions in Brussels (General Secre-
tary, John Vanderveken, tel. 32/2/217-80-
85) and by the World Confederation of
Labour in Brussels (General Secretary, Jan
Kulakowski, tel. 32/2/230-62-95).
2. In the capacity of director of the Co-
ordinating Office Abroad of NSZZ "Solidar-
nosc", I am authorized to inform you that
to date my Union favors designating the
NSZZ "Solidarnosc" organization, in the
U.S. Congressional legislative language, as
the recipient of unconditional grants. I
know, however, that this issue is still a sub-
ject of discussion by the NSZZ "Solidar-
nose" leadership and, therefore, a modifica-
tion of the position is possible. I will inform
you, immediately, should this occur.
I must stress that the KKW, the highest
leadership body of NSZZ "Solidarnosc"
headed by Lech Walesa is exclusively in
power to decide on this matter and not the
Brussels Office.
3. The controversy within the NSZZ "Soli-
darnosc" leadership and its group of advis-
ers concerning this matter is based on the
following:
Some are of the opinion that specifically
quoting the NSZZ "Solidarnosc" name in
U.S. legislative acts exposes our organiza-
tion to even harsher attacks of propaganda
and gives the regime another excuse to deny
our Union legal status;
Others are of the opinion that the same
will only strengthen our Union's negotiating
position vis-a-vis the regime.
At present, the second view (i.e. favoring
quoting the NSZZ "Solidarnosc" name) pre-
vails.
4. The NSZZ "Solidarnosc" leadership in
Poland is taking for granted that whatever
the legislative language will be, they will
have the right and responsibility to decide
as to the utilization of the grants. However,
there are opinions among some of them
that Congressional grants should preferably
be given "somehow more quietly" and/or
channeled through the AFL-CIO.
5. I state, hereby, that any representa-
tions to the contrary of the above presented
information are inaccurate.

gressional findings that the United Nations
and the U.N. Human Rights Commission
have acted selectively in addressing human
rights violations in selected countries, ex-
presses congressional disapproval at the fail-
ure of the United Nations to place Cuba on

vide other assistance to the military oper-
ations of any group which the President has
designated as a Communist guerrilla group

vision.

ernment of national unity and the holding
of free and fair elections, and that the

build-up in Angola is an obstruction to posi-
tive bilateral relations. In addition, the
Senate amendment states that the Angolan
people should not be left to starve because
of the Communist regime, that the United
States should consider the humanitarian
needs of the Angolan-people, that any hu-
manitarian assistance provided by the
United States should be distributed through
private and voluntary organizations, and

congressional findings regarding the deten-
tion of children in South Africa and calls

dren access to parents and legal counsel, to
provide information on the names and loca-
tions of all detained children, to provide the
detained children with adequate food, cloth-
ing, and protection, to permit a recognized,
impartial international group to monitor
the situation of children in detention, and
calls for the apprehension and trial of all of
those who execute children by violent ac-
tivities.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision. However, the House did over-
whelmingly pass a resolution (House Reso-
lution 141) by a vote of 402-3, which is
nearly identical to the Senate amendment.

the Soviet Union should not participate in
any Middle East conference meeting or
summit on the Arab-Israel conflict unless it
has reestablished relations with Israel, ac-
cepted U.N. Resolutions 242 and 338, sub-
stantially increased Jewish emigration to
Israel, and has received the approval of
Egypt, Israel, and Jordon for participation
in such a conference.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.

presses the sense of the Congress with re-
spect to the continued civil conflict and for-
eign intervention in Lebanon, and states

tion of sovereignty and the reestablishment
of the authority of the Government of Leb-
anon. The Senate amendment also ex-
presses the sense of the Congress that the
provision of at least 200,000 tons of wheat
and 30,000 tons of rice through title I of
Public Law 480 and section 416 of the Agri-
culture Act of 1949 to the Government of
Lebanon is in the interest of the United
States.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference subsititute (sec. 1232) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but in-
cludes a reference to title II of Public Law
480 in the list of food assistance available. It
is the intention of the committee of confer-
ence that if any agreement for a program
under title I of Public Law 480 or a govern-
ment-to-government program under section
418 of the Agriculture Act of 1949 is con-
cluded, such agreement should meet the leg-
islative requirements for title I, including
adequate provision for self-help measures
and for programming local currencies, and
ensuring that commodities provided are not
reexported. It is the further intention of the
committee of conference that inclusion of a
title I or section 416 agreement should not
jeopardize continuation of the title II pro-
gram in Lebanon.
ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL
LAW IN THE PERSIAN GULF
The Senate amendment (sec. 524) contains
congressional findings concerning freedom
of navigation, the mining of the Persian
Gulf by the Government of Iran, and U.S.
actions to terminate that mining. The
Senate amendment further expresses the
sense of the Congress that by mining the
Persian Gulf without notifying neutral na-
tions engaged in maritime commerce, the
Government of Iran violated international
law, that the use of force by the U.S. Navy
to terminate that mining was justified
under international law, and that interna-
tional law offers a framework for such posi-
tive action and fostering broader adherence
to law promotes the security interests of the
United States.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1233) is
similar to the Senate amendment.
POLICY TOWARD IRAN-IRAQ WAR
The Senate amendment (sec. 510) ex-
presses the sense of the Congress that the
continuation of the Iran-Iraq war threatens
the security and stability of all states in the
Persian Gulf and that the U.S. policy is to
support the total unconditional withdrawal
of both Iran and Iraq to internationally rec-
ognized boundaries, to support an immedi-
ate ceasefire, to endorse the peaceful resolu-
tion of this conflict under the auspices of
the United Nations or any other interna-
tional organization or party, and to urge
strict observance of international humani-
tarian law by both sides.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1234) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but refer-
ences U.S. policy in the context of U.N. Se-
curity Council Resolution 598, which calls
for the withdrawal of both Iran and Iraq to
internationally recognized borders, endorses
the peaceful resolution of the Iran-Iraq con-
flict under the auspices of the United Na-
tions, and calls for an embargo of military
supplies to any party which refuses to abide
by United Nations Security Council Resolu-
tion 598.
IRAN HUMAN RSGHTS VIOLATIONS
The Senate amendment (sec. 565) contains
congressional findings regarding the contin-
ued egregious violations by the Government
of Iran of the internationally recognized
human rights of the citizens of Iran, includ-
ing torture, Imprisonment, and execution on
the basis of beliefs, the continued refusal of
the Iranian Government to allow a special
representative of the U.N. Security Council
to inspect Iranian prisons to determine the
true extent of torture in Iran, and the con-
tinuation of the Iran-Iraq war. The senate
amendment also expresses concern for those
citizens enduring war and repression in
Iran, supports an official U.S. policy of the
complete halting the shipment of any kind
of armament to the Government of Iran,
urges the President to continue to make
every effort to cooperate with other
member nations of the United Nations to
bering about an end to government-spon-
sored torture in Iran and to allow inspection
of Iranian prisons, and expresses support
for all efforts made through the U.N. Secu-
rity Council to pressure the Khomeini gov-
ernment to end the Iran-Iraq war.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1235) is
similar to the Senate amendment, but clar-
iries the findings and urges the President to
pressure the Iranian government to respect
interntionally recognized human rights.
IRANIAN PERSECUTION OF THE BAHA'IS
The Senate amendment (see. 511) ex-
presses the sense of the Congress that the
Iranian Government has .systematically dis-
criminated against the Baha'i community in
Iran, that these violations of human rights
are in direct contravention of the Charter of
the United Nations and the Universal Decla-
ration of Human Rights, and that the presi-
dent should take al neeessry steps to focus
international attention on the plight of the
Baha's community.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1236) is
the same as the Senate amendment.
COST-SHARING IN THE PERSIAN GULF
The Senate amendment (sec. 535) ex-
presses the sense of Congress that the Presi-
dent should enter into negotiations for the
sharing of costs involved in the use of U.S.
Armed Forces in the Persian Gulf, and that
he should submit a report to Congress de-
tailing the costs incurred by the U.S. Armed
Forces in the Gulf, any costs incurred In the
event that oil supplies transiting the Gulf
were not available :to the United States, and
a determination as to which countries bene-
fit directly from the U.S. reflagging oper-
ation.
H 11349
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision. The committee of conference agrees
that the Countries in the Persian Gulf and
the countries presently purchasing Persian
Gulf oil should join in bearing the burdens
of the protection of Innocent navigation in
the Gulf. Some progress in this area has re-
cently been made. Five European nations
are now operating warships in the Gulf.
West Germany has moved ships into the
Mediterranean to relieve other ships that
have been sent to the'Gulf. Japan is sending
navigational aids which will be of help to
the Western forces and has indicated a will-
ingness to make needed financial contribu-
tions to a U.N. effort to achieve a ceasefire
in the Iran-Iraq war. In addition, Gulf na-
tions are making valuable facilities and
other assets available to American and
other forces operating in the Perisan Gulf.
Other nations are also providing political
support in the United Nations and else-
where in order to achieve a ceasefire and po-
litical resolution to the conflict in the
region.
The committee of conference strongly
urges the executive branch to continue its
work to strengthen material and political
support for the Western effort in the Gulf.
The executive branch should make detailed
reports to the Congress, which should be
quantitative wherever appropriate, on the
costs and benefits of its policy.

Afghanistan. The Department of State shall
retain this position until the President certi-
fies that various conditions with respect to
the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and
its status in the world community have been
met.
The House bill contains no comparable

lar to the House bill, but requires that any
notification to Congress with respect to any

fense articles and services to the People's
Republic of China be accompanied by a
Presidential certification that the Govern-
ment of the People's Republic of China is
acting in good faith and in a timely manner
to resolve human rights issues in Tibet. The

its conduct of relations with the People's
Republic of China. The provision also re-
quires the PRC's efforts to resolve human
rights issues In Tibet and provides not less

East Asian States (ASEAN), the U.N. Secre-
tary General, and the non-Communist Cam-
bodian people to achieve a political settle-

tions as well as assurances that there will be

gressional findings concerning the restric-
tion of the rights of citizens in the People's
Republic of China to travel freely within

bines the House and Senate provisions.

ments of law or who have been declared in-
eligible to receive export or import licenses
from any agency of the U.S. Government;
(3') require an export license for any item
on the U.S. Munitions List before it is sold
to, provided to, or taken possession by a for-
eign person or a person acting on behalf of
a foreign person.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The conference substitute (sec. 1255);
(1) requires the President to develop ap-
propriate mechanisms to identify persons
who have violated various sections of the
Arens Export Control Act, the Export Ad-
ministration Act, sections 793, 794, or 798 of
title 18, United states Code relating to espio-
nage involving defense or classified informa-
tion, the Trading with the Enemy Act, the
International Emergency Economic Powers
Act, the Securities Exchange Act, the For-
eign Corrupt Practices Act, chapter 105,
title 18 of the United States Code relating
to sabotage, the Internal Security Act of
1950, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, the
National Security act of 1947, and the Com-
prehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986, or
who have been declared ineligible to con-
tract with or receive a license or other form
of authorization to export or import defense
articles or defense services from any agency

ing of export licenses to any person indicted

wise ineligible to import defense articles or

items on the U.S. Munitions List to foreign
persons;
'(4) requires the President to develop
standards for identifying high risk exports
to enable regular end-use verification and to
publish those standards in the Federal Reg-
ister not later than October 1, 1988;
(5) enables the Secretary of State to re-
quest personnel from the Departments of
Defense and Treasury to assist in the
screening and review of export license appli-
cations; and
(6) enables the Office of Munitions Con-
trol of the Department of State to use
$250,000 in license fees to hire contract per-
sonnel and obtain computer equipment to
assist in the screening and review of export
license applications.
The committee of conference expects that
the new authorities created in this section
for arms export control enforcement and co-
ordination will enable the Department of
State to deny licenses for violations of the
major foreign policy and national security
statutes cited in this section. It also expects
the the Department of State will deny li-
censes to fugitives from justice who have
been convicted in any court of a crime pun-
ishable by imprisonment of a term exceed-
ing 1 year whether or not they have been
convicted of violations of the statutes cited
in this section when the Department has in-
formation on such fugitives from justice.
The committee of conference also under-
stands that in a very small percentage of
arms export licensing cases, dealing in par-
ticular with manufacturing license and dis-
tribution agreements, all end-users may not
be known at the outset of the transaction.
The committee of conference does -not
intend by the language of this section to dis-
allow use of these licensing arrangements.
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL
The Senate amendment (sec. 507) prohib-
its funds authorized by this act from being
used to fund international first class air
travel for congressional staff members
except for a staff member who is accompa-
nying a Member of Congress travelling first
class or if no-other means are available.
The house bill contains no comparable
provision.

vision.
STATE VISIT OF PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL
The Senate amendment (sec. 522) ex-
presses the sense of the Congress that the
President of the United. States should, at
the earliest possible date, invite the Presi-
dent of Israel to make a state visit.
The House bill contains no comparable
provision.
The -conference substitute deletes the pro-
vision. The committee of conference notes
that the President of Israel has made a
state visit.

SECTION Z. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FIxDINGs. The-Congress finds and de-
clares that-
(1-) land exchanges are a very Important
tool for Federal and State land managers
and private landowners to consolidate Fed-
eral, State, and private holdings of land or
interests in land for purposes of more effi-
cient management and to secure important
objectives Including the protection of fish
and wildlife habitat and aesthetic values;
the enhancement of recreation opportuni-
ties; the consolidation of mineral and timber
holdings for more logical and efficient de-
velopment; the expansion of communities;
the ?promotion of multiple-use values; and
fulfillmentof public needs;
-(2) needs for land ownership adjustments
and consolidation consistently outpace
available funding for land purchases by the
Federal Government and thereby make land
exchanges an increasingly important
method of land acquisition and consolida-
tion for both Federal and State land manag-
ers and private landowners;
(3) the Federal Land Policy and Manage-
ment Act of 1976 and other laws provide a
basic framework and .authority for land ex-
changes involving lands under the jurisdic-

ulations pertaining to land appraisals which

ences between appraisals of lands and inter-

SECTION 3. LAND EXCHANGES AND APPRAISALS.
(a) FLPMA AMENDMENTS.-Section 206 of
the Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1716) is hereby
amended by adding the following new sub-
sections:
"(d)(1) The Secretary of the Interior and
the Secretary of Agriculture shall promul-
gate regulations providing that, unless it is
mutually agreed otherwise prior to the expi-
ration of ninety days after entering an
agreement to initiate an exchange of land
or interest therein pursuant to this Act or
other applicable law, no later than ninety
days after entering into such an agreement
the Secretary concerned and other party or
parties involved in the exchange shall ar-
range for appraisal (to be completed within
a time frame negotiated by the parties) of
the lands or interests therein involved in
the exchange in accordance with subsection
(f) of this section.
"(2) If within one hundred and eighty
days after the submission of an appraisal or
appraisals for review an d approval by the
Secretary concerned and the other party or
oarties involved cannot agree to accept the
findings of an appraisal or appraisals, the
.ppraisal or appraisals shall be submitted to
,n arbitration to be conducted In accord-
ance with the real estate valuation arbitra-
ion rules of the American Arbitration Asso-
'iation. Such arbitration shall be binding on
she Secretary concerned and the other
party or parties involved in the exchange in-
,ofar as concerns the value of the lands
Which were the subject of the appraisal or
appraisals.
"(3) Within thirty days after the comple-
tion of the arbitration, the Secretary con-
cerned and the other party or parties in-
volved in the exchange shall determine
whether to proceed with the exchange,
modify the exchange to reflect the findings
of the arbitration or any other factors, or to
terminate the exchange. A decision to ter-
minate the exchange may be made by either
the Secretary concerned or the other party
or parties involved.
"(4) After submission of an appraisal or
appraisals for review by the Secretary con-
cerned but prior to submission of an ap-
praisal or appraisals to arbitration pursuant
to paragraph (2) of this subsection, If both
the Secretary concerned and the other
party or parties involved in an exchange de-
termine it is in the best interest of consum-
mating an exchange pursuant to this Act or
other applicable law, they may mutually
agree to employ a process of bargaining or
some other process (instead of arbitration)
to determine the values of the properties In-
volved in the exchange, or they may mutu-
ally agree to suspend or modify any of the
following:
"(A) The arbitration requirements of this
subsection.
"(B) The deadlines for submission of an
appraisal to arbitration.
"(C) The deadline for determinations sub-
sequent to completion of an arbitration.
"(e) Unless mutually agreed otherwise by
the Secretary concerned and the other
party or parties involved in an exchange
pursuant to this Act or other applicable law,
all patents or title to be issued for land or
interests therein to be acquainted by the
Federal Government and lands or interests
therein to be transferred out of Federal
ownership shall be issued simultaneously
after the Secretary concerned has taken any
necessary steps to assure that the United
States will receive acceptable title.
"(f)(1) Within one year after the enact-
ment of subsections (d) through (I) of this
section, the Secretaries of the Interior and
Agriculture shall promulgate new and com-
prehensive rules and regulations governing
exchanges of land and interests therein pur-
suant to this Act and other applicable law.
Such rules and regulations shall fully re-
flect the changes in law made by subsec-
tions (d) through (i) of this section and
shall include provisions pertaining to ap-
praisals of lands and interests therein in-
volved in such exchanges.
"(2) The provisions of the rules and regu-
lations issued pursuant to paragraph (1) of
this subsection governing appraisals shall
reflect nationally recognized appraisal
standards, including to the extent appropri-
ate, the Uniform Appraisal Standards for
Federal Land Acquisitions: Provided, howev-
er, That the provisions of such rules and
regulations shall-
"(A) ensure that appraisal standards
henceforth cover both the acquisition and
disposal of land by the Federal Government
and adequately reflect any differences that
may exist between appraising lands or inter-
ests therein being acquired by the Federal
Government and appraising lands or inter-
ests therein being transferred out of Federal
ownership; and
"(B) with respect to costs or other respon-
sibilities or requirements associated with
land exchanges-
"(I) recognize that the parties involved In
an exchange may mutually agree that one
party (or parties) will assume, without com-
pensation, all or part of certain costs or
other responsibilities or requirements ordi-
narily borne by the other party or parties;
and
"(ii) also permit the Secretary concerned,
where such Secretary determines it is in the
best interest of consummating an exchange
pursuant to this Act or other applicable law,
and upon mutual agreement of the parties,
to make adjustments to the relative values
assigned to properties involved in an ex-
change in order to compensate a party or
parties to the exchange for assuming costs
or other responsibilities or requirements
which would ordinarily be borne by the
other party or parties.
"As used in this subparagraph, the term
'costs or other responsibilities or require-
ments' shall include, but not be limited to,
costs or other requirements associated with
land surveys and appraisals, mineral exami-
nations, title searches, archeological surveys
and salvage, removal of encumbrances, arbi-
tration pursuant to subsection (d) of this
section, curing deficiencies preventing high-
est and best use, and other costs to comply
with laws, regulations and policies applica-
ble to exchange transactions, or which are
necessary to bring the Federal or non-Fed-
eral lands or Interests Involved in the ex-
change to their highest and best use for the
appraisal and exchange purposes.
"(g) Until such time as new and compre-
hensive rules and regulations governing ex-
change of land and interests therein are
promulgated pursuant to subsection (f) of
this section, land exchanges may proceed in
accordance with existing laws and regula-
tions, and nothing in the Act shall be con-
strued to require any delay in, or otherwise
hinder, the processing and consummation of
land exchanges pending the promulgation
of such new and comprehensive rules and
regulations. Where the Secretary concerned
and the party or parties invovled in an ex-
change have agreed to initiate an exchange
of land or interests therein prior to the date
of enactment of such subsections, subsec-
tions (d) through (I) of this section shall not
apply to such exchanges unless the Secre-
tary concerned and the party or parties in-
volved in the exchange mutually agree oth-
erwise.
"(h)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Act and other applicable laws which re-
quire that exchanges of land or Interests
therein be for equal value, where the Secre-
tary concerned determines it is in the public
interest and that the consummation of a
particular exchange will be expedited there-
by, the Secretary concerned may exchange
lands or interests therein which are of ap-
proximately equal value in cases where-
"(A) the combined value of the lands or
interests therein to be transferred from
Federal ownership by the Secretary con-
cerned in such exchange is not more than
$150,000; and
"(B) the Secretary concerned finds in ac-
cordance with the regulations to be promul-
gated pursuant to subsection (f) of this sec-
tion that a determination of approximately
equal value can be made without formal ap-
praisals, as based on a documented certifica-
tion made by a qualified appraiser and ap-
proved by an authorized officer; and
"(C) the definition of and procedure for
determining "approximately equal value"
has been set forth in regulations by the Sec-
retary concerned and the Secretary con-
cerned documents how such determination
was made in the case of the particular ex-
change involved.
"(2) As used in this subsection, the term
'approximately equal value' shall have the
same meaning with respect to lands man-
aged by the Secretary of Agriculture as it
does in the Act of January 22, 1983 (com-
monly known as the 'Small Tracts Act').
"(i)(1) Upon receipt of an offer to ex-
change lands or interests in lands pursuant
to this Act or other applicable laws, at the
request of the head of the department or
agency having jurisdiction over the lands in-
volved, the Secretary of the Interior may
temporarily segregate the Federal lands
under consideration for exchange from ap-
propriation under the mining laws. Such
temporary segregation may only be made
for a period of not to exceed five years.
Upon a decision not to proceed with the ex-
change or upon deletion of any particular
parcel from the exchange offer, the Federal
lands involved or deleted shall be promptly
restored to their former status under the
mining laws. Any segregation pursuant to
this paragraph shall be subject to valid ex-
isting rights as of the date of such segrega-
tion.
