14 SEC. 203. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON TRANSPORTATION OF

15 FOOD ASSISTANCE TO RUSSIA.

16 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

17 (1) on April 3, 1993, in Vancouver, Canada, the

18 President of the United States and the President of

19 the Russian Federation announced a $1,600,000,000

20 aid package for Russia, including $700,000,000 in

21 food assistance;

22 (2) the provision of food assistance announced at

23 the Vancouver summit is a vital sign of United States

24 support for Russia’s continued movement toward de25 mocracy and transition to a market economy;
44

HR 2118 EAS

1 (3) on May 3, 1993, the United States Govern2 ment and the Government of Russia reached initial

3 agreement on the $700,000,000 in food assistance to

4 be extended by the United States to Russia;

5 (4) the agreement stipulated that while

6 $500,000,000 of the United States food aid package

7 will be used for Russia to purchase United States ag8 ricultural commodities, the remaining $200,000,000,

9 as estimated by the Administration, will be used sole10 ly to cover the cost of transportation;

11 (5) the Administration announced that 75 per12 cent of the commodities would be shipped on United

13 States-flag commercial vessels under United States

14 cargo preference requirements;

15 (6) United States cargo preference laws require

16 at least 75 percent of United States food assistance

17 shipped overseas to be shipped on United States-flag

18 commercial vessels;

19 (7) this requirement eliminates competition and

20 encourages carriers to charge the United States Gov21 ernment rates two or three hundred percent above

22 world market shipping rates;

23 (8) the current world market shipping rate is be24 tween $25 and $35 per metric ton;
45

HR 2118 EAS

1 (9) carriers, anticipating the elimination of com2 petition, have offered bids for shipping the grain to

3 Russia between $75 and $138 per metric ton;

4 (10) these bids are up to 5 times greater than

5 comparable world rates;

6 (11) the cost of the grain itself is approximately

7 $100 per metric ton;

8 (12) the effect of the cargo preference require9 ments is to increase the cost of transportation so that

10 it nearly equals or exceeds the cost of the grain itself;

11 and

12 (13) the effect of the cargo preference require13 ments increases the taxpayer cost of assistance to

14 Russia.

15 (b) POLICY.—It is the sense of the Senate that—

16 (1) the food assistance provided by the United

17 States Government to Russia has been supported and

18 approved to meet the dire humanitarian needs of the

19 Russian people;

20 (2) the increased cost of assistance to Russia re21 sulting from cargo preference requirements could ad22 versely affect the progress of democracy and market

23 development in Russia; and

24 (3) at a minimum, the President should not per25 mit Federal agencies to accept bids from any carrier
46

2 rates.
