                               RESOLUTION

 
                         Relating to Pakistan.

Whereas the United States government has longstanding policies opposing the 
        spread of terrorism and narcotics trafficking;
Whereas the United States government has committed massive amounts of funding 
        through the years to combat both of these problems;
Whereas on January 7, 1993, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan was placed on the 
        State Department's watch list of nations suspected of supporting 
        terrorism;
Whereas on July 14, 1993, the State Department removed the Islamic Republic of 
        Pakistan from the watch list;
Whereas former Pakistan Prime Minister Narwaz Sharif recently alleged that his 
        Army Chief of Staff, General Aslam Beg, and General Asad Durrani, head 
        of the Inter Service Intelligence Agency, had informed him while in 
        office that the Pakistani Army and ISI planned to conduct covert acts of 
        terrorism in other countries and fund these activities through large 
        scale narcotics sales;
Whereas 317 Indian citizens were killed in March 1993, in a series of bombings 
        of the Bombay Stock Exchange and other sites in Bombay;
Whereas a leading suspect in the bombing has publicly implicated the Pakistan 
        government in the bombings by alleging that the ISI provided weapons, 
        money, and explosives for the attacks in Bombay;
Whereas former Prime Minister Sharif recently stated that Pakistan has possessed 
        nuclear weapons for several years;
Whereas in 1985, the United States Congress enacted legislation prohibiting 
        foreign assistance to Pakistan unless the President certified that 
        Pakistan does not possess a nuclear explosive device; and
Whereas President Bush and President Clinton have been unable to certify that 
        Pakistan does not possess a nuclear explosive device: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the Senate that:
            (1) the United States condemns the alleged involvement of 
        Pakistan in acts of terrorism in other countries;
            (2) the United States condemns any involvement by Pakistan 
        in the illegal manufacture, sale, transportation, or 
        distribution of any narcotic substance;
            (3) the Administration should review the 1993 State 
        Department decision to remove Pakistan from the Watch List of 
        nations suspected of involvement in terrorism abroad; and
            (4) the United States reaffirms current law prohibiting 
        foreign assistance to Pakistan in light of Prime Minister 
        Sharif's claim that Pakistan has possessed a nuclear weapon for 
        several years.
                                 <all>
