     Council Resolutions 242 and 338, committed itself to the 
     peace process and peaceful coexistence with Israel, free from 
     violence and all other acts which endanger peace and

       (2) Israel has recognized the P.L.O. as the representative 
     of the Palestinian people;
       (3) Israel and the P.L.O. signed a Declaration of

       (4) Israel and the P.L.O. signed an Agreement on the Gaza

     Authority for the Gaza and Jericho areas;
       (5) Israel and the P.L.O. signed an Agreement on 
     Preparatory Transfer of Powers and Responsibilities 
     (hereafter the ``Early Empowerment Agreement'') on August 29,

     Authority of certain powers and responsibilities in the West 
     Bank outside of the Jericho Area;
       (6) under the terms of the Israeli-Palestinian Interim 
     Agreement on the West Bank and Gaza (hereafter the ``Interim

       (7) permanent status negotiations relating to the West Bank 
     and Gaza Strip are scheduled to begin by May 1996;
       (8) the Congress has, since the conclusion of the 
     Declaration of Principles and the P.L.O.'s renunciation of 
     terrorism, provided authorities to the President to suspend 
     certain statutory restrictions relating to the P.L.O., 
     subject to Presidential certifications that the P.L.O. has 
     continued to abide by commitments made in and in connection

     destruction, and to prevent acts of terrorism and hostilities 
     against Israel; and
       (10) the United States is resolute in its determination to 
     ensure that in providing assistance to Palestinians living 
     under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority or 
     elsewhere, the beneficiaries of such assistance shall be held

     assistance.

                           sense of congress

       Sec. 603. It is the sense of the Congress that the P.L.O. 
     must do far more to demonstrate an irrevocable denunciation

     East dispute, and in particular it must--

     approval the necessary changes to those articles of the 
     Palestinian National Covenant which call for Israel's 
     destruction;
       (2) make greater efforts to pre-empt acts of terror, 
     discipline violators and contribute to stemming the violence 
     that has resulted in the deaths of over 140 Israeli and 
     United States citizens since the signing of the Declaration 
     of Principles;
       (3) prohibit participation in its activities and in the 
     Palestinian Authority and its successors by any groups or 
     individuals which continue to promote and commit acts of 
     terrorism;
       (4) cease all anti-Israel rhetoric, which potentially 
     undermines the peace process;

[[Page 1818]]

       Sec. 518A. Coercive Population Control Methods.--
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act or other law, 
     none of the funds appropriated by this Act may be made 
     available for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), 
     unless the President certifies to the appropriate 
     congressional committees that (1) the United Nations 
     Population Fund will terminate all family planning activities 
     in the People's Republic of China no later than May 1, 1996; 
     or (2) during the 12 months preceding such certification, 
     there have been no abortions as the result of coercion 
     associated with the family planning activities of the 
     national government or other governmental entities within the 
     People's Republic of China. As used in this section the term 
     ``coercion'' includes physical duress or abuse, destruction 
     or confiscation of property, loss of means of livelihood, or 
     severe psychological pressure.
