   <DELETED>TITLE I--SUPPORT FOR THE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 101. FINDINGS AND POLICY.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) The President of Yugoslavia, Slobodan 
        Milosevic, has consistently engaged in undemocratic methods of 
        governing.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Yugoslavia has passed and implemented a law 
        strictly limiting freedom of the press and has acted to 
        intimidate and prevent independent media from operating inside 
        Yugoslavia.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) Although the Yugoslav and Serbian 
        constitutions provide for the right of citizens to change their 
        government, citizens of Serbia in practice are prevented from 
        exercising that right by the Milosevic regime's domination of 
        the mass media and manipulation of the electoral 
        process.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) The Yugoslav government has orchestrated 
        attacks on academics at institutes and universities throughout 
        the country in an effort to prevent the dissemination of 
        opinions that differ from official state propaganda.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) The Yugoslav government prevents the formation 
        of nonviolent, democratic opposition through restrictions on 
        freedom of assembly and association.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) The Yugoslav government uses control and 
        intimidation to control the judiciary and manipulates the 
        country's legal framework to suit the regime's immediate 
        political interests.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) The Government of Serbia, under the direction 
        of President Milosevic, has obstructed the efforts of the 
        Government of Montenegro to pursue democratic and free-market 
        policies.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (8) The people of Serbia who do not endorse the 
        undemocratic actions of the Milosevic government should not be 
        the target of criticism that is rightly directed at the 
        Milosevic regime.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Policy.--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) It is the policy of the United States to 
        encourage the development of a government in Yugoslavia based 
        on democratic principles and the rule of law and that respects 
        internationally recognized human rights.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) It is the sense of Congress that--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) the United States should actively 
                support the democratic opposition in Yugoslavia, 
                including political parties and independent trade 
                unions, to develop a legitimate and viable alternative 
                to the Milosevic regime;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) all United States Government 
                officials, including individuals from the private 
                sector acting on behalf of the United States 
                Government, should attempt to meet regularly with 
                representatives of democratic opposition organizations 
                of Yugoslavia and minimize to the extent practicable 
                any direct contacts with government officials from 
                Yugoslavia, particularly President Slobodan Milosevic, 
                who perpetuate the nondemocratic regime in Yugoslavia; 
                and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) the United States should emphasize to 
                all political leaders in Yugoslavia the importance of 
                respecting internationally recognized human rights for 
                all individuals residing in Yugoslavia.</DELETED>

        <DELETED>TITLE II--ASSISTANCE TO THE VICTIMS OF SERBIAN 
                          OPPRESSION</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 201. FINDINGS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    The Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) Since February 1998, the armed forces of 
        Yugoslavia and the Serbian Interior Ministry police force have 
        engaged in a brutal crackdown against the ethnic Albanian 
        population in Kosovo.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Since the initial assault by Yugoslav and 
        Serbian forces in Kosovo, more than 2,000 individuals have been 
        killed and 600,000 individuals have been displaced from their 
        homes.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) The majority of the individuals displaced by 
        the conflict in Kosovo have been unable to return to their 
        homes and have been forced to find temporary shelter in Kosovo 
        or outside the country.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) The activities of the Yugoslav armed forces 
        and the police force of the Serbian Interior Ministry have 
        resulted in the widespread destruction of agricultural crops, 
        livestock, and property, as well as the poisoning of wells and 
        water supplies, and the looting of humanitarian goods provided 
        by the international community.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) Since February 1998, 20,000 homes in Kosovo 
        have been demolished and more than 500 villages have been 
        partially or completely destroyed.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 202. SENSE OF CONGRESS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    It is the sense of Congress that--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) humanitarian assistance to the victims of the 
        conflict in Kosovo, including refugees and internally displaced 
        persons, and all assistance to rebuild damaged property in 
        Kosovo, should be the responsibility of the Government of 
        Yugoslavia and the Government of Serbia;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) under the direction of President Milosevic, 
        neither the Government of Yugoslavia nor the Government of 
        Serbia has provided the resources to assist innocent, civilian 
        victims of oppression in Kosovo; and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) because neither the Government of Yugoslavia 
        nor the Government of Serbia has fulfilled the responsibilities 
        of a sovereign government toward the people in Kosovo, the 
        international community offers the only recourse for 
        humanitarian assistance to victims of oppression in 
        Kosovo.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 203. ASSISTANCE.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Authority.--The President may use authorities of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) to provide humanitarian assistance to 
        individuals living in Kosovo, and refugees and individuals 
        displaced by the conflict in Kosovo currently residing in 
        Montenegro, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the former 
        Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) for direct legal and other assistance to 
        individuals and their families from Kosovo who have been 
        victims of atrocities in that province; and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) to support Kosovar community organizations in 
        their effort to build civil society in Kosovo.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Prohibition.--No assistance may be provided under this 
Act to any group that maintains within its ranks any individual whom

<DELETED>    (h) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) the President should not restore full

        Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
        Senate that the Government of Yugoslavia has met the conditions 
        described in subsection (b); and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) the President should encourage all other

<DELETED>    It is the sense of Congress that, if any international 
financial institution (as defined in section 301(i)) approves a loan or 
other financial assistance to the Government of Yugoslavia over

amount of the loan or other assistance.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 401. THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL TRIBUNAL FOR THE FORMER 
              YUGOSLAVIA.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) United Nations Security Council Resolution 
        827, which was adopted May 25, 1993, established the 
        International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (in 
        this section referred to as the ``Tribunal'') to prosecute 
        persons responsible for serious violations of international 
        humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former 
        Yugoslavia since January 1, 1991.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) United Nations Security Council Resolution 827 
        requires full cooperation by all countries with the Tribunal, 
        including the obligation of countries to comply with requests 
        of the Tribunal for assistance or orders.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) The Government of Yugoslavia has disregarded 
        its international obligations with regard to the Tribunal, 
        including its obligation to transfer or facilitate the transfer 
        to the Tribunal of any person on the territory of Serbia who 
        has been indicted for war crimes or other crimes against 
        humanity under the jurisdiction of the Tribunal.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) The Government of Yugoslavia has publicly 
        rejected the Tribunal's jurisdiction over events in Kosovo and 
        has impeded the investigation of representatives from the 
        Tribunal, including denying those representatives visas for 
        entry into Yugoslavia, in their efforts to gather information 
        about alleged crimes against humanity in Kosovo under the 
        jurisdiction of the Tribunal.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States 
to support fully and completely the indictment of President Slobodan 
Milosevic as a war criminal under the relevant statutes of the 
International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia if the 
Tribunal decides to indict him.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) In General.--Subject to subsection (b), it is the 
sense of Congress that the Director of Central Intelligence should 
transfer to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former 
Yugoslavia any information the intelligence community (as defined in 
section 3(4) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a(4)) 
collects or has collected in support of an indictment and trial of 
President Slobodan Milosevic for war crimes, crimes against humanity, 
or genocide.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (d) Protection of Sources and Methods.--In carrying out 
subsection (c), the Director of Central Intelligence shall take such 
steps as may be necessary to ensure adequate protection of intelligence 
sources and methods.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 402. OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR 
              PROPERTIES.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) The international judicial system, as 
        currently structured, lacks fully effective remedies for the 
        wrongful confiscation of property and for unjust enrichment 
        from the use of wrongfully confiscated property by governments 
        and private entities at the expense of the rightful owners of 
        the property.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Since the dissolution of the Socialist Federal 
        Republic of Yugoslavia, the Government of Yugoslavia has 
        exclusively used, and benefited from the use of, properties 
        located in the United States that were owned by the Socialist 
        Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) The governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 
        Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and 
        Slovenia have been blocked by the Government of Yugoslavia in 
        using, or benefiting from the use of, any property located in 
        the United States that was previously owned by the Socialist 
        Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) The continued occupation and use by officials 
        of Yugoslavia of that property without prompt, adequate, and 
        effective compensation under the applicable principles of 
        international law to the governments of Bosnia-Herzegovina, 
        Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and 
        Slovenia is unjust and unreasonable.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (b) Policy on Negotiations Regarding Properties.--It is 
the policy of the United States to insist that the Government of 
Yugoslavia engage in good faith negotiations with the governments of 
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of 
Macedonia, and Slovenia on the ownership and continued use of, or on 
the arrangement for prompt, adequate and effective compensation for, 
the following properties located in the United States:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (1) 2222 Decatur Street, NW, Washington, 
        DC.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) 2410 California Street, NW, Washington, 
        DC.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) 1907 Quincy Street, NW, Washington, 
        DC.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (4) 3600 Edmonds Street, NW, Washington, 
        DC.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) 2221 R Street, NW, Washington, DC.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) 854 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (7) 730 Park Avenue, New York, NY.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) Sense of Congress on Return of Properties.--It is the 
sense of the Congress that, if the Government of Yugoslavia refuses to 
engage in good faith negotiations on the status of the properties 
listed in subsection (b), the President should take steps to return 
those properties to the possession of the governments of Bosnia and 
Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and 
Slovenia in accordance with international law.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 403. TRANSITION ASSISTANCE.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    It is the sense of Congress that once the regime of 
President Slobodan Milosevic has been replaced by a government that is 
committed to democratic principles and the rule of law, and that 
respects internationally recognized human rights, the President of the 
United States should support the transition to democracy in Yugoslavia 
by providing immediate and substantial assistance, including 
facilitating its integration into international 
organizations.</DELETED>

             TITLE I--SUPPORT FOR THE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION

SEC. 101. FINDINGS AND POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The President of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic, has 
        consistently engaged in undemocratic methods of governing.
            (2) Yugoslavia has passed and implemented a law strictly 
        limiting freedom of the press and has acted to intimidate and 
        prevent independent media from operating inside Yugoslavia.
            (3) Although the Yugoslav and Serbian constitutions provide 
        for the right of citizens to change their government, citizens 
        of Serbia in practice are prevented from exercising that right 
        by the Milosevic regime's domination of the mass media and 
        manipulation of the electoral process.
            (4) The Yugoslav government has orchestrated attacks on 
        academics at institutes and universities throughout the country 
        in an effort to prevent the dissemination of opinions that 
        differ from official state propaganda.
            (5) The Yugoslav government prevents the formation of 
        nonviolent, democratic opposition through restrictions on 
        freedom of assembly and association.
            (6) The Yugoslav government uses control and intimidation 
        to control the judiciary and manipulates the country's legal 
        framework to suit the regime's immediate political interests.
            (7) The Government of Serbia and the Government of 
        Yugoslavia, under the direction of President Milosevic, have 
        obstructed the efforts of the Government of Montenegro to 
        pursue democratic and free-market policies.
            (8) At great risk, the Government of Montenegro has 
        withstood efforts by President Milosevic to interfere with its 
        government and supported the goals of the United States in the 
        conflict in Kosovo.
            (9) The people of Serbia who do not endorse the 
        undemocratic actions of the Milosevic government should not be 
        the target of criticism that is rightly directed at the 
        Milosevic regime.
    (b) Policy.--
            (1) It is the policy of the United States to encourage the 
        development of a government in Yugoslavia based on democratic 
        principles and the rule of law and that respects 
internationally recognized human rights.
            (2) It is the sense of Congress that--
                    (A) the United States should actively support the 
                democratic opposition in Yugoslavia, including 
                political parties and independent trade unions, to 
                develop a legitimate and viable alternative to the 
                Milosevic regime;
                    (B) all United States Government officials, 
                including individuals from the private sector acting on 
                behalf of the United States Government, should attempt 
                to meet regularly with representatives of democratic 
                opposition organizations of Yugoslavia and minimize to 
                the extent practicable any direct contacts with 
                government officials from Yugoslavia, particularly 
                President Slobodan Milosevic, who perpetuate the 
                nondemocratic regime in Yugoslavia; and
                    (C) the United States should emphasize to all 
                political leaders in Yugoslavia the importance of 
                respecting internationally recognized human rights for 
                all individuals residing in Yugoslavia.

SEC. 102. ASSISTANCE TO PROMOTE DEMOCRACY AND CIVIL SOCIETY IN

            (1) Purpose of assistance.--The purpose of assistance under 
        this subsection is to promote and strengthen institutions of

        for internationally recognized human rights.
            (2) Authorization for assistance.--To carry out the purpose 
        of paragraph (1), the President is authorized to furnish

                    (C) The development of independent media working 
                within Serbia if possible, but, if that is not 
                feasible, from locations in neighboring countries.
                    (D) The development of the rule of law, to include 
                a strong, independent judiciary, the impartial 
                administration of justice, and transparency in 
                political practices.
                    (E) International exchanges and advanced 
                professional training programs in skill areas central

       TITLE II--ASSISTANCE TO THE VICTIMS OF SERBIAN OPPRESSION

SEC. 201. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Beginning in February 1998 and ending in June 1999, the 
        armed forces of Yugoslavia and the Serbian Interior Ministry 
        police force engaged in a brutal crackdown against the ethnic 
        Albanian population in Kosovo.
            (2) As a result of the attack by Yugoslav and Serbian 
        forces against the Albanian population of Kosovo, more than 
        10,000 individuals have been killed and 1,500,000 individuals 
        were displaced from their homes.
            (3) The majority of the individuals displaced by the 
        conflict in Kosovo was left homeless or was forced to find 
        temporary shelter in Kosovo or outside the country.
            (4) The activities of the Yugoslav armed forces and the 
        police force of the Serbian Interior Ministry resulted in the 
        widespread destruction of agricultural crops, livestock, and 
        property, as well as the poisoning of wells and water supplies, 
        and the looting of humanitarian goods provided by the 
        international community.

SEC. 202. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) humanitarian assistance to the victims of the conflict 
        in Kosovo, including refugees and internally displaced persons, 
        and all assistance to rebuild damaged property in Kosovo, 
        should be the responsibility of the Government of Yugoslavia 
        and the Government of Serbia;
            (2) under the direction of President Milosevic, neither the 
        Government of Yugoslavia nor the Government of Serbia has 
        provided the resources to assist innocent, civilian victims of 
        oppression in Kosovo; and
            (3) because neither the Government of Yugoslavia nor the 
        Government of Serbia has fulfilled the responsibilities of a 
        sovereign government toward the people in Kosovo, the 
        international community offers the only recourse for 
        humanitarian assistance to victims of oppression in Kosovo.

SEC. 203. ASSISTANCE.

    (a) Authority.--The President is authorized to furnish assistance 
under section 491 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 
2292) and the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 (22 U.S.C. 
2601 et seq.), as appropriate, for--
            (1) relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction in Kosovo; 
        and
            (2) refugees and persons displaced by the conflict in 
        Kosovo.
    (b) Prohibition.--No assistance may be provided under this section 
to any group that has been designated as a terrorist organization under 
section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1189).

allocated under chapter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 
1961 (22 U.S.C. 2346 et seq.) for assistance described in subsection 
(a) may be used in accordance with the authority of that subsection.

State should instruct the United States Representatives to the

    (h) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--

        relations with Yugoslavia until the President has determined 
        and so reported to the appropriate congressional committees 
        that the Government of Yugoslavia has met the conditions 
        described in subsection (b); and
            (2) the President should encourage all other European 
        countries to diminish their level of diplomatic relations with 
        Yugoslavia.
    (i) International Financial Institution Defined.--In this section, 
the term ``international financial institution'' includes the

institution (as defined in section 301(i)) approves a loan or other 
financial assistance to the Government of Yugoslavia over opposition of 
the United States, then the Secretary of the Treasury should withhold 
from payment of the United States share of any increase in the paid-in

              YUGOSLAVIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) United Nations Security Council Resolution 827, which 
        was adopted May 25, 1993, established the International 
        Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia to prosecute 
        persons responsible for serious violations of international 
        humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former 
        Yugoslavia since January 1, 1991.
            (2) United Nations Security Council Resolution 827 requires 
        full cooperation by all countries with the Tribunal, including 
        the obligation of countries to comply with requests of the 
        Tribunal for assistance or orders.
            (3) The Government of Yugoslavia has disregarded its 
        international obligations with regard to the Tribunal, 
        including its obligation to transfer or facilitate the transfer 
        to the Tribunal of any person on the territory of Yugoslavia 
        who has been indicted for war crimes or other crimes against 
        humanity under the jurisdiction of the Tribunal.
            (4) The Government of Yugoslavia publicly rejected the 
        Tribunal's jurisdiction over events in Kosovo and has impeded 
        the investigation of representatives from the Tribunal, 
        including denying those representatives visas for entry into 
        Yugoslavia, in their efforts to gather information about 
        alleged crimes against humanity in Kosovo under the 
        jurisdiction of the Tribunal.
            (5) The Tribunal has indicted President Slobodan Milosevic 
        for--
                    (A) crimes against humanity, specifically murder, 
                deportations, and persecutions; and
                    (B) violations of the laws and customs of war.
    (b) Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United States to support 
fully and completely the investigation of President Slobodan Milosevic 
by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia for 
genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and grave breaches of 
the Geneva Convention.
    (c) In General.--Subject to subsection (b), it is the sense of 
Congress that the United States Government should gather all 
information that the intelligence community (as defined in section 3(4) 
of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401a(4)) collects or 
has collected to support an investigation of President Slobodan 
Milosevic for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and grave 
breaches of the Geneva Convention by the International Criminal 
Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and that the Department of 
State should provide all appropriate information to the Office of the 
Prosecutor of the ICTY under procedures established by the Director of 
Central Intelligence that are necessary to ensure adequate protection 
of intelligence sources and methods.
    (d) Report to Congress.--Not less than 180 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter, the President 
shall submit a report, in classified form if necessary, to the 
appropriate congressional committees that describes the information 
that was provided by the Department of State to the Office of the 
Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former 
Yugoslavia for the purposes of subsection (c).

SEC. 502. SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO ETHNIC HUNGARIANS OF 
              VOJVODINA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) approximately 350,000 ethnic Hungarians reside in the 
        province of Vojvodina, part of Serbia, in traditional 
        settlements in existence for centuries;
            (2) this community has taken no side in any of the Balkan 
        conflicts since 1990, but has maintained a consistent position 
        of nonviolence, while seeking to protect its existence through 
        the meager opportunities afforded under the existing political 
        system;
            (3) the Serbian leadership deprived Vojvodina of its 
        autonomous status at the same time as it did the same to the 
        province of Kosovo;
            (4) this population is subject to continuous harassment, 
        intimidation, and threatening suggestions that they leave the 
        land of their ancestors; and
            (5) during the past 10 years this form of ethnic cleansing 
        has already driven 50,000 ethnic Hungarians out of the province 
        of Vojvodina.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
President should--
            (1) condemn harassment, threats, and intimidation against 
        any ethnic group in Yugoslavia as the usual precursor of 
        violent ethnic cleansing;
            (2) express deep concern over the reports on recent 
        threats, intimidation, and even violent incidents against the 
        ethnic Hungarian inhabitants of the province of Vojvodina;
            (3) call on the Secretary of State to regularly monitor the 
        situation of the Hungarian ethnic group in Vojvodina; and
            (4) call on the NATO allies of the United States, during 
        any negotiation on the future status of Kosovo, also to pay 
        substantial attention to establishing satisfactory guarantees 
        for the rights of the ethnic Hungarian community of Vojvodina, 
        and of other ethnic minorities in the province, including 
        consulting with elected leaders about their proposal for self-
        administration.

SEC. 503. OWNERSHIP AND USE OF DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROPERTIES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The international judicial system, as currently 
        structured, lacks fully effective remedies for the wrongful 
        confiscation of property and for unjust enrichment from the use 
        of wrongfully confiscated property by governments and private 
        entities at the expense of the rightful owners of the property.
            (2) Since the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic 
        of Yugoslavia, the Government of Yugoslavia has exclusively 
        used, and benefited from the use of, properties located in the 
        United States that were owned by the Socialist Federal Republic 
        of Yugoslavia.
            (3) The Governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the 
        Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Slovenia have been 
        blocked by the Government of Yugoslavia from using, or 
        benefiting from the use of, any property located in the United 
        States that was previously owned by the Socialist Federal 
        Republic of Yugoslavia.
            (4) The continued occupation and use by officials of 
        Yugoslavia of that property without prompt, adequate, and 
        effective compensation under the applicable principles of 
        international law to the Governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 
        Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and 
        Slovenia are unjust and unreasonable.
    (b) Policy on Negotiations Regarding Properties.--It is the policy 
of the United States to insist that the Government of Yugoslavia has a 
responsibility to, and should, actively and cooperatively engage in 
good faith negotiations with the Governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 
Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Slovenia for 
resolution of the outstanding property issues resulting from the 
dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including 
the disposition of the following properties located in the United 
States:
            (1) 2222 Decatur Street, NW, Washington, DC.
            (2) 2410 California Street, NW, Washington, DC.
            (3) 1907 Quincy Street, NW, Washington, DC.
            (4) 3600 Edmonds Street, NW, Washington, DC.
            (5) 2221 R Street, NW, Washington, DC.
            (6) 854 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY.
            (7) 730 Park Avenue, New York, NY.
    (c) Sense of Congress on Return of Properties.--It is the sense of 
Congress that, if the Government of Yugoslavia refuses to engage in 
good faith negotiations on the status of the properties listed in 
subsection (b), the President should take steps to ensure that the 
interests of the Governments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the 
Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Slovenia are protected in 
accordance with international law.

SEC. 504. TRANSITION ASSISTANCE.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that once the 
regime of President Slobodan Milosevic has been replaced by a 
government that is committed to democratic principles and the rule of 
law, and that respects internationally recognized human rights, the 
President of the United States should support the transition to 
democracy in Yugoslavia by providing immediate and substantial 
assistance, including facilitating its integration into international 
organizations.
    (b) Authorization of Assistance.--The President is authorized to 
furnish assistance to Yugoslavia if he determines, and so certifies to 
the appropriate congressional committees that the Government of 
Yugoslavia is committed to democratic principles and the rule of law 
and respects internationally recognized human rights.
    (c) Report to Congress.--
            (1) Development of plan.--The President shall develop a 
        plan for providing assistance to Yugoslavia in accordance with 
        this section. Such assistance would be provided at such time as 
        the President determines that the Government of Yugoslavia is 
        committed to democratic principles and the rule of law and 
        respects internationally recognized human rights.
            (2) Strategy.--The plan developed under paragraph (1) shall 
        include a strategy for distributing assistance to Yugoslavia 
        under the plan.
            (3) Diplomatic efforts.--The President shall take the 
        necessary steps--
                    (A) to seek to obtain the agreement of other 
                countries and international financial institutions and 
                other multilateral organizations to provide assistance 
                to Yugoslavia after the President determines that the 
                Government of Yugoslavia is committed to democratic 
                principles, the rule of law, and that respects 
                internationally recognized human rights; and
                    (B) to work with such countries, institutions, and 
                organizations to coordinate all such assistance 
                programs.
            (4) Communication of plan.--The President shall take the 
        necessary steps to communicate to the people of Yugoslavia the 
        plan for assistance developed under this section.
            (5) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date of 
        enactment of this Act, the President shall transmit to the 
        appropriate congressional committees a report describing in 
        detail the plan required to be developed by paragraph (1).
