4 (1) Through the TRICARE program, the De5 partment of Defense provides health care benefits 

6 and services to approximately 9,500,000 bene7 ficiaries. 

8 (2) The Department of Defense is not struc9 tured as a typical health care provider, which can 

10 lead to complicated billing practices and strict dead11 lines for members of the Armed Forces, former 

12 members of the Armed Forces, and their depend13 ents, as well as for providers. 

14 (3) Numerous findings issued by the Inspector 

15 General of the Department of Defense between 2014 

16 and 2019 describe the third-party collection program 

17 of the Department as inadequately managed, result18 ing in substantial uncollected funds that could be 

19 used to improve the quality of health care at mili20 tary medical treatment facilities. 

21 (4) Numerous press reports have found that the 

22 Federal Government aggressively collects unpaid 

23 debts from uninsured or low-income civilian patients 

24 who happen to receive treatment at a military med25 ical treatment facility, even though providing that 
465

2 in many industry sectors, from last mile transportation 

3 (e.g., bike shares and electric scooters) to agriculture (e.g., 

4 tractor-as-a-service for farmers in developing countries). 

5 Most smart phone users are familiar with software up6 dates that provide bug fixes or new features. A more ex7 treme example of technology innovation enabled by the 

8 IoT is the ability to deliver physical performance improve9 ments to vehicles through over-the-air software up10 dates. . . In the not-so-distant future, cloud computing

15 SEC. 1214. SENSE OF SENATE ON SPECIAL IMMIGRANT VISA 

16 PROGRAM FOR AFGHAN ALLIES. 

17 It is the sense of the Senate that— 

18 (1) the special immigrant visa program for Af19 ghan allies is critical to the mission in Afghanistan 

20 and the long-term interests of the United States; 

21 (2) maintaining a robust special immigrant visa 

22 program for Afghan allies is necessary to support 

23 United States Government personnel in Afghanistan 

24 who need translation, interpretation, security, and 

25 other services; 
894 

†S 4049 ES

1 (3) Afghan allies routinely risk their lives to as2 sist United States military and diplomatic personnel; 

3 (4) honoring the commitments made to Afghan 

4 allies with respect to the special immigrant visa pro5 gram is essential to ensuring— 

6 (A) the continued service and safety of 

7 such allies; and 

8 (B) the willingness of other like-minded in9 dividuals to provide similar services in any fu10 ture contingency; 

11 (5) the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 (8 

12 U.S.C. 1101 note) states that all Government-con13 trolled processing of applications for special immi14 grant visas under that Act ‘‘should be completed not 

15 later than 9 months after the date on which an eligi16 ble alien submits all required materials to complete 

17 an application for such visa’’; 

18 (6) any backlog in processing special immigrant 

19 visa applications should be addressed as quickly as 

20 possible so as to honor the United States commit21 ment to Afghan allies as soon as possible; 

22 (7) failure to process such applications in an 

23 expeditious manner puts lives at risk and jeopardizes 

24 a critical element of support to United States oper25 ations in Afghanistan; and 
895 

†S 4049 ES

1 (8) to prevent harm to the operations of the 

2 United States Government in Afghanistan, addi3 tional visas should be made available to principal 

4 aliens who are eligible for special immigrant status

6 SEC. 1215. SENSE OF SENATE AND REPORT ON UNITED 

7 STATES PRESENCE IN AFGHANISTAN. 

8 (a) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the 

9 Senate that— 

10 (1) the United States and our coalition partners 

11 have made progress in the fight against al-Qaeda 

12 and ISIS in Afghanistan; however, both groups— 

13 (A) maintain an ability to operate in Af14 ghanistan; 

15 (B) seek to undermine stability in the re16 gion; and 

17 (C) threaten the security of Afghanistan, 

18 the United States, and the allies of the United 

19 States; 

20 (2) the South Asia strategy correctly empha21 sizes the importance of a conditions-based United 

22 States presence in Afghanistan; therefore, any deci23 sion to withdraw the Armed Forces of the United 

24 States from Afghanistan should be done in an or25 derly manner in response to conditions on the 
896 

†S 4049 ES

1 ground, and in coordination with the Government of 

2 Afghanistan and United States allies and partners in 

3 the Resolute Support mission, rather than arbitrary 

4 timelines; 

5 (3) a precipitous withdrawal of the Armed 

6 Forces of the United States and United States diplo7 matic and intelligence personnel from Afghanistan 

8 without effective, countervailing efforts to secure 

9 gains in Afghanistan may allow violent extremist 

10 groups to regenerate, threatening the security of the 

11 Afghan people and creating a security vacuum that 

12 could destabilize the region and provide ample safe 

13 haven for extremist groups seeking to conduct exter14 nal attacks; 

15 (4) ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure a 

16 peaceful, negotiated solution to the conflict in Af17 ghanistan are the best path forward for establishing 

18 long-term stability and eliminating the threat posed 

19 by extremist groups in Afghanistan; 

20 (5) the United States supports international 

21 diplomatic efforts to facilitate peaceful, negotiated 

22 resolution to the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan on 

23 terms that respect the rights of innocent civilians 

24 and deny safe havens to terrorists; and 
897 

†S 4049 ES

1 (6) as part of such diplomatic efforts, and as a 

2 condition to be met prior to withdrawal, the United 

3 States should seek to secure the release of any 

4 United States citizens being held against their will 

5 in Afghanistan. 

6 (b) REPORT.— 

7 (1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than September 1, 

8 2020, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 

9 Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 

10 the House of Representative a report that includes— 

11 (A) an assessment of— 

12 (i) the external threat posed by ex13 tremist groups operating in Afghanistan to 

14 the United States homeland and the home15 lands of United States allies; 

16 (ii) the impact of cessation of United 

17 States counterterrorism activities on the 

18 size, strength, and external aims of such 

19 groups; and 

20 (iii) the international financial sup21 port the Afghan National Defense and Se22 curity Forces requires in order to maintain 

23 current operational capabilities, including 

24 force cohesion and combat effectiveness; 
898 

†S 4049 ES

1 (B) a plan for the orderly transition of all 

2 security-related tasks currently undertaken by 

3 the Armed Forces of the United States in sup4 port of the Afghan National Defense and Secu5 rity Forces to Afghanistan, including— 

6 (i) precision targeting of Afghanistan7 based terrorists; 

8 (ii) combat-enabler support, such as 

9 artillery and aviation assets; and 

10 (iii) noncombat-enabler support, such 

11 as intelligence, surveillance and reconnais12 sance, medical evacuation, and contractor 

13 logistic support; and 

14 (C) an update on the status of any United 

15 States citizens detained in Afghanistan, and an 

16 overview of Administration efforts to secure 

17 their release. 

18 (2) FORM.—The report required by paragraph 

19 (1) shall be submitted in unclassified form but may

6 United States— 

7 (1) that the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 

8 96–8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) and the ‘‘Six Assur9 ances’’ provided by the United States to Taiwan in 

10 July 1982 are the foundation for United States-Tai11 wan relations; 

12 (2) that nothing in the Taiwan Relations Act 

13 (Public Law 96–8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.) con14 strains deepening, to the extent possible, the exten15 sive, close, and friendly relations of the United 

16 States and Taiwan, including defense relations; 

17 (3) that the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law

19 and executed in a manner consistent with evolving 

20 political, security, and economic dynamics and cir21 cumstances; 

22 (4) that, as set forth in the Taiwan Relations 

23 Act (Public Law 96–8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), the 

24 United States expects the ‘‘future of Taiwan will be 

25 determined by peaceful means,’’ and that ‘‘any effort 
951 

†S 4049 ES

1 to determine the future of Taiwan by other than 

2 peaceful means’’ is ‘‘a threat to the peace and secu3 rity of the Western Pacific area and of grave con4 cern to the United States’’; 

5 (5) that the increasingly coercive and aggressive 

6 behavior of the People’s Republic of China towards 

7 Taiwan, including growing military maneuvers tar8 geting Taiwan, is contrary to the expectation of the 

9 peaceful resolution of the future of Taiwan; 

10 (6) that, as set forth in the Taiwan Relations 

11 Act (Public Law 96–8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), the

16 (A) supporting acquisition by Taiwan of 

17 defense articles and services through foreign 

18 military sales, direct commercial sales, and in19 dustrial cooperation, with an emphasis on capa20 bilities that support the asymmetric defense 

21 strategy of Taiwan, including antiship, coastal 

22 defense, antiarmor, air defense, undersea war23 fare, advanced command, control, communica24 tions, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and 
952

13 professional military education and technical 

14 training opportunities in the United States for 

15 military personnel of Taiwan; 

16 (E) pursuing a strategy of military engage17 ment with Taiwan that fully integrates ex18 changes at the strategic, policy, and functional 

19 levels; 

20 (F) increasing exchanges between senior 

21 defense officials and general officers of the 

22 United States and Taiwan consistent with the 

23 Taiwan Travel Act (Public Law 115–135; 132 

24 Stat. 341), especially for the purpose of enhanc25 ing cooperation on defense planning and im-
953 

†S 4049 ES

1 proving the interoperability of the military 

2 forces of the United States and Taiwan; 

3 (G) conducting military exchanges with

7 medicine and humanitarian assistance and dis8 aster relief, including through the participation

11 (7) that, as set forth in the Taiwan Relations 

12 Act (Public Law 96–8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), the 

13 United States will maintain the capacity ‘‘to resist 

14 any resort to force or other forms of coercion that 

15 would jeopardize the security, or the social or eco16 nomic system, of the people on Taiwan’’, including 

17 the capacity of the United States Armed Forces to 

18 deny a ‘‘fait accompli’’ operation by the People’s Re19 public of China to rapidly seize control of Taiwan. 

20 (b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 

21 that the Secretary of Defense should— 

22 (1) ensure that policy guidance to the Depart23 ment of Defense related to United States-Taiwan de24 fense relations is fully consistent with the statement 

25 of policy set forth in subsection (a); and

16 It is the sense of the Senate that— 

17 (1) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

18 (NATO) continues to play an essential role in the 

19 national security of the United States and the inde20 pendent nuclear deterrents of other NATO members, 

21 such as the United Kingdom, have helped under22 write peace and security; 

23 (2) the nuclear programs of the United States 

24 and the United Kingdom have enjoyed significant 

25 collaborative benefits as a result of the cooperative 
1133 

†S 4049 ES

1 relationship formalized in the Agreement for Co2 operation on the Uses of Atomic Energy for Mutual 

3 Defense Purposes, signed at Washington July 3, 

4 1958, and entered into force August 4, 1958 (9 

5 UST 1028), between the United States and the 

6 United Kingdom (commonly referred to as the ‘‘Mu7 tual Defense Agreement’’); 

8 (3) the unique partnership between the United 

9 States and the United Kingdom has enhanced sov10 ereign military and scientific capabilities, strength11 ened bilateral ties, and shared costs, particularly on 

12 such programs as the Trident II D–5 weapons sys13 tem and the common missile compartment for the 

14 future Dreadnought and Columbia classes of sub15 marines; 

16 (4) additionally, the extension of the nuclear de17 terrence commitments of the United Kingdom to 

18 members of the NATO alliance strengthens collective 

19 security while reducing the burden placed on United 

20 States nuclear forces to deter potential adversaries 

21 and assure allies of the United States and the 

22 United Kingdom; 

23 (5) as the international security environment 

24 deteriorates and potential adversaries expand and 

25 enhance their nuclear forces, the extended deter-
1134 

†S 4049 ES

1 rence commitments of the United Kingdom play an 

2 increasingly important role in supporting the secu3 rity interests of the United States and allies of the 

4 United States and the United Kingdom; 

5 (6) it is in the national security interest of the 

6 United States to support the United Kingdom with 

7 respect to the decision of the Government of the 

8 United Kingdom to maintain its nuclear deterrent 

9 until global security conditions warrant its elimi10 nation; 

11 (7) as the United States must modernize its 

12 aging nuclear forces to ensure its ability to continue 

13 to field a nuclear deterrent that is safe, secure, and 

14 effective, the United Kingdom faces a similar chal15 lenge; 

16 (8) bilateral cooperation on the parallel develop17 ment of the W93/Mk7 warhead of the United States 

18 and the replacement warhead of the United King19 dom, as well as associated components, will allow the 

20 United States and the United Kingdom to respon21 sibly address challenges within their legacy nuclear 

22 forces in a cost-effective manner that— 

23 (A) preserves independent, sovereign con24 trol; 
1135 

†S 4049 ES

1 (B) is consistent with each country’s obli2 gations under the Treaty on the Non-Prolifera3 tion of Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, 

4 London, and Moscow July 1, 1968 (21 UST 

5 483) (commonly referred to as the ‘‘Nuclear 

6 Non-Proliferation Treaty’’); and 

7 (C) supports nonproliferation objectives; 

8 and 

9 (9) continued cooperation between the nuclear 

10 programs of United States and the United Kingdom, 

11 including through the W93/Mk7 program, is essen12 tial to ensuring that the NATO alliance continues to 

13 be supported by credible nuclear forces capable of 

14 preserving peace, preventing coercion, and deterring 

15 aggression.

9 SEC. 1703. FINDINGS. 

10 Congress makes the following findings: 

11 (1) The Joint Declaration and the Basic Law 

12 clarify certain obligations and promises that the 

13 Government of China has made with respect to the 

14 future of Hong Kong. 

15 (2) The obligations of the Government of China 

16 under the Joint Declaration were codified in a le17 gally-binding treaty, signed by the Government of 

18 the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern 

19 Ireland and registered with the United Nations. 

20 (3) The obligations of the Government of China 

21 under the Basic Law originate from the Joint Dec22 laration, were passed into the domestic law of China 

23 by the National People’s Congress, and are widely 

24 considered by citizens of Hong Kong as part of the 

25 de facto legal constitution of Hong Kong. 
1160 

†S 4049 ES

1 (4) Foremost among the obligations of the Gov2 ernment of China to Hong Kong is the promise that, 

3 pursuant to Paragraph 3b of the Joint Declaration, 

4 ‘‘the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will 

5 enjoy a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign 

6 and defence affairs which are the responsibilities of 

7 the Central People’s Government’’. 

8 (5) The obligation specified in Paragraph 3b of 

9 the Joint Declaration is referenced, reinforced, and 

10 extrapolated on in several portions of the Basic Law, 

11 including Articles 2, 12, 13, 14, and 22. 

12 (6) Article 22 of the Basic Law establishes that 

13 ‘‘No department of the Central People’s Government 

14 and no province, autonomous region, or municipality 

15 directly under the Central Government may interfere 

16 in the affairs which the Hong Kong Special Admin17 istrative Region administers on its own in accord18 ance with this Law.’’. 

19 (7) The Joint Declaration and the Basic Law 

20 make clear that additional obligations shall be un21 dertaken by China to ensure the ‘‘high degree of au22 tonomy’’ of Hong Kong. 

23 (8) Paragraph 3c of the Joint Declaration 

24 states, as reinforced by Articles 2, 16, 17, 18, 19, 

25 and 22 of the Basic Law, that Hong Kong ‘‘will be 
1161 

†S 4049 ES

1 vested with executive, legislative and independent ju2 dicial power, including that of final adjudication’’. 

3 (9) On multiple occasions, the Government of 

4 China has undertaken actions that have contravened 

5 the letter or intent of the obligation described in 

6 paragraph (8) of this section, including the fol7 lowing: 

8 (A) In 1999, the Standing Committee of 

9 the National People’s Congress overruled a de10 cision by the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal 

11 on the right of abode. 

12 (B) On multiple occasions, the Government 

13 of Hong Kong, at the advice of the Government 

14 of China, is suspected to have not allowed per15 sons entry into Hong Kong allegedly because of 

16 their support for democracy and human rights 

17 in Hong Kong and China. 

18 (C) The Liaison Office of China in Hong 

19 Kong has, despite restrictions on interference in 

20 the affairs of Hong Kong as detailed in Article

24 and Legislative Council; 
1162 

†S 4049 ES

1 (ii) expressed views on various policies 

2 for the Government of Hong Kong and 

3 other internal matters relating to Hong 

4 Kong; and 

5 (iii) on April 17, 2020, asserted that 

6 both the Liaison Office of China in Hong 

7 Kong and the Hong Kong and Macau Af8 fairs Office of the State Council ‘‘have the 

9 right to exercise supervision . . . on affairs 

10 regarding Hong Kong and the mainland, 

11 in order to ensure correct implementation 

12 of the Basic Law’’. 

13 (D) The National People’s Congress has 

14 passed laws requiring Hong Kong to pass laws 

15 banning disrespectful treatment of the national 

16 flag and national anthem of China. 

17 (E) The State Council of China released a 

18 white paper on June 10, 2014, that stressed 

19 the ‘‘comprehensive jurisdiction’’ of the Govern20 ment of China over Hong Kong and indicated 

21 that Hong Kong must be governed by ‘‘patri22 ots’’. 

23 (F) The Government of China has directed 

24 operatives to kidnap and bring to the mainland, 

25 or is otherwise responsible for the kidnapping

1 of, residents of Hong Kong, including business2 man Xiao Jianhua and bookseller Gui Minhai. 

3 (G) The Government of Hong Kong, acting 

4 with the support of the Government of China, 

5 introduced an extradition bill that would have 

6 permitted the Government of China to request 

7 and enforce extradition requests for any indi8 vidual present in Hong Kong, regardless of the 

9 legality of the request or the degree to which it 

10 compromised the judicial independence of Hong 

11 Kong. 

12 (H) The spokesman for the Standing Com13 mittee of the National People’s Congress said, 

14 ‘‘Whether Hong Kong’s laws are consistent 

15 with the Basic Law can only be judged and de16 cided by the National People’s Congress Stand17 ing Committee. No other authority has the 

18 right to make judgments and decisions.’’. 

19 (10) Paragraph 3e of the Joint Declaration 

20 states, as reinforced by Article 5 of the Basic Law, 

21 that the ‘‘current social and economic systems in 

22 Hong Kong will remain unchanged, as so will the 

23 life-style.’’. 

24 (11) On multiple occasions, the Government of 

25 China has undertaken actions that have contravened

4 (A) In 2002, the Government of China 

5 pressured the Government of Hong Kong to in6 troduce ‘‘patriotic’’ curriculum in primary and 

7 secondary schools. 

8 (B) The governments of China and Hong 

9 Kong proposed the prohibition of discussion of 

10 Hong Kong independence and self-determina11 tion in primary and secondary schools, which 

12 infringes on freedom of speech. 

13 (C) The Government of Hong Kong man14 dated that Mandarin, and not the native lan15 guage of Cantonese, be the language of instruc16 tion in Hong Kong schools. 

17 (D) The governments of China and Hong 

18 Kong agreed to a daily quota of mainland im19 migrants to Hong Kong, which is widely be20 lieved by citizens of Hong Kong to be part of 

21 an effort to ‘‘mainlandize’’ Hong Kong. 

22 (12) Paragraph 3e of the Joint Declaration 

23 states, as reinforced by Articles 4, 26, 27, 28, 29, 

24 30, 31, 32 33, 34, and 39 of the Basic Law, that 

25 the ‘‘rights and freedoms, including those of person, 
1165 

†S 4049 ES

1 of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, 

2 of travel, of movement, of correspondence, of strike, 

3 of choice of occupation, of academic research and of 

4 religious belief will be ensured by law’’ in Hong 

5 Kong. 

6 (13) On multiple occasions, the Government of

9 paragraph (12) of this section, including the fol10 lowing:

14 freedom of speech and other protected rights. 

15 (B) The Liaison Office of China in Hong 

16 Kong has pressured businesses in Hong Kong 

17 not to advertise in newspapers and magazines 

18 critical of the governments of China and Hong 

19 Kong. 

20 (C) The Hong Kong Police Force selec21 tively blocked demonstrations and protests ex22 pressing opposition to the governments of China 

23 and Hong Kong or the policies of those govern24 ments. 
1166 

†S 4049 ES

1 (D) The Government of Hong Kong re2 fused to renew work visa for a foreign jour3 nalist, allegedly for hosting a speaker from the 

4 banned Hong Kong National Party. 

5 (E) The Justice Department of Hong

8 prosecute police officers accused of using exces9 sive force during the protests in 2014. 

10 (F) On April 18, 2020, the Hong Kong 

11 Police Force arrested 14 high-profile democracy 

12 activists and campaigners for their role in orga13 nizing a protest march that took place on Au14 gust 18, 2019, in which almost 2,000,000 peo15 ple rallied against a proposed extradition bill. 

16 (14) Articles 45 and 68 of the Basic Law assert 

17 that the selection of Chief Executive and all mem18 bers of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong should 

19 be by ‘‘universal suffrage.’’. 

20 (15) On multiple occasions, the Government of 

21 China has undertaken actions that have contravened 

22 the letter or intent of the obligation described in 

23 paragraph (14) of this section, including the fol24 lowing: 
1167 

†S 4049 ES

1 (A) In 2004, the National People’s Con2 gress created new, antidemocratic procedures 

3 restricting the adoption of universal suffrage 

4 for the election of the Chief Executive of Hong 

5 Kong.

7 Congress on December 29, 2007, which ruled 

8 out universal suffrage in 2012 elections and set 

9 restrictions on when and if universal suffrage 

10 will be implemented. 

11 (C) The decision by the National People’s 

12 Congress on August 31, 2014, which placed 

13 limits on the nomination process for the Chief 

14 Executive of Hong Kong as a condition for 

15 adoption of universal suffrage. 

16 (D) On November 7, 2016, the National

19 members of the Legislative Council. 

20 (E) In 2018, the Government of Hong 

21 Kong banned the Hong Kong National Party 

22 and blocked the candidacy of pro-democracy 

23 candidates. 

24 (16) The ways in which the Government of 

25 China, at times with the support of a subservient 
1168 

†S 4049 ES

1 Government of Hong Kong, has acted in contraven2 tion of its obligations under the Joint Declaration 

3 and the Basic Law, as set forth in this section, are 

4 deeply concerning to the people of Hong Kong, the 

5 United States, and members of the international 

6 community who support the autonomy of Hong 

7 Kong. 

8 SEC. 1704. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING HONG KONG. 

9 It is the sense of Congress that— 

10 (1) the United States continues to uphold the 

11 principles and policy established in the United 

12 States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 (22 U.S.C. 

13 5701 et seq.) and the Hong Kong Human Rights 

14 and Democracy Act of 2019 (Public Law 116–76; 

15 22 U.S.C. 5701 note), which remain consistent with 

16 China’s obligations under the Joint Declaration and 

17 certain promulgated objectives under the Basic Law, 

18 including that— 

19 (A) as set forth in section 101(1) of the 

20 United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 

21 (22 U.S.C. 5711(1)), ‘‘The United States 

22 should play an active role, before, on, and after 

23 July 1, 1997, in maintaining Hong Kong’s con24 fidence and prosperity, Hong Kong’s role as an 

25 international financial center, and the mutually 
1169 

†S 4049 ES

1 beneficial ties between the people of the United 

2 States and the people of Hong Kong.’’; and 

3 (B) as set forth in section 2(5) of the 

4 United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 

5 (22 U.S.C. 5701(5)), ‘‘Support for democratiza6 tion is a fundamental principle of United States 

7 foreign policy. As such, it naturally applies to 

8 United States policy toward Hong Kong. This 

9 will remain equally true after June 30, 1997.’’; 

10 (2) although the United States recognizes that, 

11 under the Joint Declaration, the Government of 

12 China ‘‘resumed the exercise of sovereignty over 

13 Hong Kong with effect on 1 July 1997’’, the United 

14 States supports the autonomy of Hong Kong in fur15 therance of the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act 

16 of 1992 and the Hong Kong Human Rights and De17 mocracy Act of 2019 and advances the desire of the 

18 people of Hong Kong to continue the ‘‘one country, 

19 two systems’’ regime, in addition to other obligations 

20 promulgated by China under the Joint Declaration 

21 and the Basic Law; 

22 (3) in order to support the benefits and protec23 tions that Hong Kong has been afforded by the Gov24 ernment of China under the Joint Declaration and 

25 the Basic Law, the United States should establish a 
1170 

†S 4049 ES

1 clear and unambiguous set of penalties with respect 

2 to foreign persons determined by the Secretary of 

3 State, in consultation with the Secretary of the 

4 Treasury, to be involved in the contravention of the 

5 obligations of China under the Joint Declaration and 

6 the Basic Law and the financial institutions 

7 transacting with those foreign persons; 

8 (4) the Secretary of State should provide an un9 classified assessment of the reason for imposition of 

10 certain economic penalties on entities, so as to per11 mit a clear path for the removal of economic pen12 alties if the sanctioned behavior is reversed and 

13 verified by the Secretary of State; 

14 (5) relevant Federal agencies should establish a 

15 multilateral sanctions regime with respect to foreign 

16 persons involved in the contravention of the obliga17 tions of China under the Joint Declaration and the 

18 Basic Law; and 

19 (6) in addition to the penalties on foreign per20 sons, and financial institutions transacting with 

21 those foreign persons, for the contravention of the 

22 obligations of China under the Joint Declaration and 

23 the Basic Law, the United States should take steps, 

24 in a time of crisis, to assist permanent residents of 

25 Hong Kong who are persecuted or fear persecution 
1171

21 nuclear fuel supply chain; 

22 (4) as was done in 2008, upon completion of a 

23 new negotiated long-term extension of the Russian

1 ensure long-term stability for the domestic nuclear 

2 fuel supply chain; and 

3 (5) if the negotiations to extend the Russian

24 (a) INEFFECTIVENESS OF SECTION 1235.—Section 

25 1235 shall have no force or effect. 
1620 

†S 4049 ES

1 (b) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find2 ings: 

3 (1) On August 24, 1991, Ukraine became a 

4 free and independent country after declaring its 

5 independence from the Soviet Union. 

6 (2) The Russian Federation is required to re7 spect the independence, sovereignty, and territorial 

8 integrity of Ukraine through its signed commitments 

9 to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the 1975 Hel10 sinki Accords, and the Charter of the United Na11 tions. 

12 (3) On February 8, 1994, Ukraine was among 

13 the first post-Soviet states to join the North Atlantic 

14 Treaty Organization’s Partnership for Peace, and 

15 Ukraine subsequently participated in numerous 

16 North Atlantic Treaty Organization-led security as17 sistance, peacekeeping, counterterror, and maritime 

18 initiatives. 

19 (4) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

20 and Ukraine have continuously deepened their co21 operation through the establishment of— 

22 (A) the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza23 tion-Ukraine Charter on a Distinctive Partner24 ship and the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza25 tion-Ukraine Commission in 1997; 
1621 

†S 4049 ES

1 (B) the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza2 tion-Ukraine Joint Working Group on Defense 

3 Reform in 1998; and 

4 (C) the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza5 tion-Ukraine Action Plan in 2002. 

6 (5) In the Bucharest Summit Declaration of 

7 April 2008, heads of state and governments of 

8 North Atlantic Treaty Organization member coun9 tries declared, ‘‘NATO welcomes Ukraine’s and 

10 Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership 

11 in NATO. We agreed today that these countries will 

12 become members of NATO.’’. 

13 (6) Beginning on November 21, 2013, and end14 ing on February 22, 2014, during a period that be15 came known as the Revolution of Dignity, the people 

16 of Ukraine peacefully protested the decision of then 

17 President Viktor Yanukovych to suspend the signing 

18 of the Ukraine-European Union Association Agree19 ment, resulting in the unanimous removal from of20 fice of Yanukovych by the Verkhovna Rada. 

21 (7) On May 25, 2014, Peter Poroshenko was 

22 elected democratically to become the President of 

23 Ukraine based on a pro-European Union and pro24 North Atlantic Treaty Organization platform, which 
1622 

†S 4049 ES

1 laid the foundation for progress on the European 

2 Union Association Agreement. 

3 (8) In response to Ukraine’s Revolution of Dig4 nity, the Russian Federation launched an overt and 

5 covert military campaign against Ukraine, illegally 

6 occupied Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, and insti7 gated war in eastern Ukraine, resulting in the 

8 deaths of approximately 14,000 Ukrainians. 

9 (9) The Russian Federation’s invasion and ille10 gal occupation of the Crimean Peninsula and in11 stigation of conflict in eastern Ukraine in 2014 was 

12 widely viewed as an effort to stifle pro-democracy 

13 and pro-Western developments across Ukraine in the 

14 wake of the Revolution of Dignity. 

15 (10) At the 2014 Wales Summit, the North At16 lantic Treaty Organization adopted the Enhanced 

17 Opportunities Partnership Program as a component 

18 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Partner19 ship Interoperability Initiative, which would ‘‘encour20 age, facilitate, and sustain’’ Ukraine’s contributions 

21 to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. 

22 (11) In 2016, as a result of the Warsaw Sum23 mit, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization pledged 

24 additional training and technical support for the 

25 military forces of Ukraine and endorsed a com-
1623 

†S 4049 ES

1 prehensive assistance package that included ‘‘tai2 lored capability and capacity building measures . . . 

3 to enhance Ukraine’s resilience against a wide array 

4 of threats, including hybrid threats’’. 

5 (12) In 2017, in the face of continued Russian 

6 Federation aggression in the eastern region of 

7 Ukraine and the continued occupation of Crimea, 

8 the Government of Ukraine rejected cooperation 

9 with the Russian Federation and voted to make co10 operation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organiza11 tion a foreign policy priority. 

12 (13) On September 1, 2017, the Ukraine-Euro13 pean Union Association Agreement entered into 

14 force. 

15 (14) On April 21, 2019, the new president of 

16 Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy— 

17 (A) reaffirmed to European Union and 

18 North Atlantic Treaty Organization leaders 

19 that Ukraine’s strategic course was to achieve 

20 full membership in the European Union and the 

21 North Atlantic Treaty Organization; and 

22 (B) championed the adoption of an amend23 ment to the Constitution of Ukraine declaring 

24 that the Government of Ukraine is responsible 

25 for implementing such strategic course toward 
1624 

†S 4049 ES

1 membership in the European Union and the 

2 North Atlantic Treaty Organization. 

3 (15) In January 2020, the Government of 

4 Ukraine requested that the North Atlantic Treaty 

5 Organization grant Ukraine the status of an En6 hanced Opportunities Partner. 

7 (16) Since Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity and 

8 in recognition of the United States-Ukraine strategic 

9 partnership, the United States has— 

10 (A) provided Ukraine with more than 

11 $1,600,000,000 in security assistance, including 

12 critical defense items; 

13 (B) collaborated closely with the military 

14 forces of Ukraine; and 

15 (C) imposed strong sanctions on the Rus16 sian Federation in response to continued Rus17 sian Federation aggression in Ukraine. 

18 (17) On June 12, 2020, the North Atlantic 

19 Treaty Organization welcomed Ukraine into the En20 hanced Opportunities Partnership program, joining 

21 Australia, Finland, Sweden, Georgia, and Jordan. 

22 (c) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 

23 that the Senate— 

24 (1) applauds the progress of Ukraine and the 

25 Revolution of Dignity with respect to strengthening 
1625 

†S 4049 ES

1 the rule of law and combating corruption, aligning 

2 with Euro-Atlantic norms and standards, and im3 proving Ukraine’s military combat readiness and 

4 interoperability with the North Atlantic Treaty Or5 ganization;

7 United States to— 

8 (A) supporting the continued efforts of 

9 Ukraine to implement democratic and free mar10 ket reforms; 

11 (B) restoring the territorial integrity of 

12 Ukraine; and 

13 (C) providing additional lethal and non14 lethal security assistance to strengthen the de15 fense capabilities of Ukraine and to deter fur16 ther Russian Federation aggression; 

17 (3) condemns the Russian Federation’s ongoing 

18 use of force and other malign activities against 

19 Ukraine and renews its call on the Government of 

20 the Russian Federation to immediately cease all ac21 tivities that seek to undermine Ukraine and desta22 bilize Europe; and
