SEC. 170. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON BORDER CROSSING
FEES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) in the budget of the United States for fiscal
year 1996 that was submitted to Congress, the Presi-
dent proposed to impose and collect a border crossing
fee for individuals and vehicles entering the United
States;
(2) both the Canadian and Mexican governments
have expressed opposition to the imposition and col-
lection of such a fee and have raised the possibility
of imposing retaliatory border crossing fees of their
own;
(3) the imposition and collection of such a fee
would have adverse affects on tourism and commerce
that depend on travel across the borders of the United
States;
(4) the imposition and collection of such a fee
would have such effects without addressing illegal im-
migration in a meaningful way;
(5) on February 22, 1995, the President modified
his proposal making the imposition of the new fees
voluntary on United States border States (but tied the
availability of Federal funds to improve border cross-
ing infrastructure on their willingness to impose such
fees); and
HR 1561 EAS
(6) on May 4, 1995, the President further modi-
fied the border crossing fee proposal in immigration
control legislation he submitted to Congress setting a
$1.50 per car and $.75 per pedestrian fee structure.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that the United States Government should not im-
pose or collect a border crossing fee along its borders with
Canada and Mexico.

lutions 761, 776, 786, 836, and 958, and is effectively

SEC. 218. ESCALATING COSTS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE-
KEEPING ACTIVITIES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) in fiscal year 1989 the United States pro-
vided $29,000,000 to the United Nations for assessed
United States contributions for international peace-
keeping activities, compared to $485,000,000 paid for
combined assessed contributions for all other inter-
national organizations, including the United Nations,
all United Nations specialized agencies and the Orga-
nization for American States and all other pan Amer-
ican international organizations;
HR 1561 EAS
(2) in fiscal year 1994 United States assessed
contributions to the United Nations for international
peacekeeping activities had grown to $1,072,000,000,
compared to $860,000,000 for combined assessed con-
tributions for all other international organizations;
(3) for fiscal year 1995 the President requested
a $672,000,000 United Nations peacekeeping supple-
mental appropriation which, if approved, would have
been a direct increase in the Federal budget deficit
and would have brought fiscal year 1995 total appro-
priations for assessed contributions for United Na-
tions peacekeeping activities to $1,025,000,000;
(4) for fiscal year 1995 the President also re-
quested 
supplemental 
appropriations 
of
$1,900,000,000 to cover the Department of Defense’s
unbudgeted costs for humanitarian and peacekeeping
missions in Haiti, Kuwait and Bosnia, which are in
addition to regular United States assessed contribu-
tions to the United Nations for peacekeeping activi-
ties; and
(5) for fiscal year 1996 the President requested
$445,000,000 for assessed contributions to the United
Nations for international peacekeeping activities, a
funding level most observers believe to be a significant
understatement of actual peacekeeping obligations the
HR 1561 EAS
Administration has committed the United States to
support and which, if accurate, would lead to the
third year in a row in which the Administration re-
quests supplemental appropriations for assessed con-
tributions to international peacekeeping in excess of
$600,000,000 outside of the regular budget process.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Con-
gress that the Executive Branch should cease obligating the
United States to pay for international peacekeeping oper-
ations in excess of funds specifically authorized and appro-
priated for this purpose.
SEC. 219. DEFINITION.
The United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as
amended by this Act, is further amended by adding at the
end the following new section:
‘‘SEC. 13. DEFINITION.
‘‘For purposes of this Act, the term ‘United Nations
peacekeeping activities’ means any peacekeeping, peace-
making, peace-enforcing, or similar activity that is author-
ized by the United Nations Security Council under chapter
VI or VII of the Charter of the United Nations, the costs
of which will be assessed by the United Nations to its mem-
ber countries.’’.

SEC. 314. INTERNATIONAL COVENANT ON CIVIL AND POLIT-
ICAL RIGHTS.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) On April 2, 1992, the Senate approved a res-
olution advising and consenting to ratification of the
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights,
subject to reservations, understandings, declarations,
and a proviso intended, inter alia, to protect the First
Amendment rights of American citizens and other
United States constitutional rights and practices.
(2) In accordance with the action of the Senate,
the President deposited the United States instrument
of ratification of the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights on June 8, 1992, and the Cov-
enant entered into force for the United States on Sep-
tember 8, 1992.
(3) On November 2, 1994, the Human Rights
Committee, established under the Covenant to inter-
pret the Covenant and to receive complaints of non-
compliance, adopted General Comment No. 24 regard-
ing reservations to the Covenant.
(4) In General Comment No. 24, the Human
Rights Committee claimed for itself the power to judge
the validity under international law of reservations to
the Covenant, and in the purported exercise of this
HR 1561 EAS
power asserted that reservations of the type included
in the Senate resolution of ratification are invalid,
and further asserted that invalid reservations will be
read out of instruments of ratification, ‘‘in the sense
that the Covenant will be operative for the reserving
party without benefit of the reservation’’.
(5) The purpose and effect of General Comment
No. 24 is to seek to nullify as a matter of inter-
national law the reservations, understandings, dec-
larations, and proviso contained in the Senate resolu-
tion of ratification, thereby purporting to impose
legal obligations on the United States never accepted
by the United States.
(6) General Comment No. 24 threatens not only
the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitu-
tion and the constitutional authority of the Senate
with respect to the approval of treaties, but also the
First Amendment rights of American citizens and the
other United States constitutional rights and prac-
tices protected by the reservations, understandings,
declarations, and proviso contained in the Senate res-
olution of ratification.
(b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen-

International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights

should revoke its General Comment No. 24 adopted on No-
vember 2, 1994.

SEC. 607. REPORT ON OCCUPIED TIBET.
(a) FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS OF CONGRESS.—
The Congress makes the following findings and declarations:
(1) Historically, Tibet has demonstrated those
attributes which under international law constitute
statehood. It has had a defined territory and a per-
manent population, been under the control of its own
government, and has engaged in, or had the capacity
to engage in, formal relations with other states.
(2) Between 1951 and 1959, Tibet was forcibly
and coercively incorporated into the People’s Republic
of China as an ‘‘autonomous region’’.
(3) Because Tibet’s incorporation into the Peo-
ple’s Republic of China was involuntary, under inter-
national law it is an occupied sovereign country and
its true representatives continue to be the Dalai Lama
and the Tibetan Government in exile.
(4) Because the Tibetan people are historically,
territorially, and culturally distinct from the Han
Chinese population in the People’s Republic of China,
and because of the involuntary loss of their sov-
105
HR 1561 EAS
ereignty, they are entitled to the right of self-deter-
mination.
(5) Credible evidence exists which demonstrates
that the Government of the People’s Republic of China
has consistently denied the Tibetan people that right,
and instead have subjected them to a serious pattern
of human rights abuses. For example, in 1960 the
International Commission of Jurists found that the
Chinese authorities in Tibet had violated sixteen arti-
cles of the United Nations Human Rights Declara-
tion.
(6) The United States should seek to establish a
dialogue with those recognized by Congress as the true
representatives of the Tibetan people, the Dalai
Lama, his representatives, and the Tibetan Govern-
ment in exile, concerning the situation in Tibet and
the future of the Tibetan people and to expand and
strengthen United States-Tibet cultural and edu-
cational relations, including promoting bilateral ex-
changes arranged directly with the Tibetan Govern-
ment in exile.
(b) REPORT ON UNITED STATES-TIBET RELATIONS.—
Not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of this
Act, and every 12 months thereafter, the Secretary of State
shall transmit to the Chairman of the Committee on For-
106
HR 1561 EAS
eign Relations and the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives a report on the state of relations between the United
States and those recognized by Congress as the true rep-
resentatives of the Tibetan people, the Dalai Lama, his rep-
resentatives, and the Tibetan Government in exile, and on
conditions in Tibet.
(c) SEPARATE TIBET REPORTS.—
(1) It is the sense of the Congress that whenever
an executive branch report is transmitted to the Con-
gress on a country-by-country basis there should be
included in such report, where applicable, a separate
report on Tibet listed alphabetically with its own
state heading.
(2) The reports referred to in paragraph (1) in-
clude, but are not limited to, reports transmitted
under sections 116(d) and 502B(b) of the Foreign As-
sistance Act of 1961 (relating to human rights).

(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the

(b) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the Government of the People’s Republic of
China withholds meaningful participation in the gov-
ernance of Tibet from Tibetans and has failed to
107
HR 1561 EAS
abide by its own constitutional guarantee of auton-
omy for Tibetans;
(2) the Government of the People’s Republic of
China is responsible for the destruction of much of Ti-
bet’s cultural and religious heritage since 1959 and
continues to threaten the survival of Tibetan culture
and religion;
(3) the Government of the People’s Republic of
China, through direct and indirect incentives—
(A) has established discriminatory develop-
ment and other programs which have resulted in
an overwhelming flow of Chinese immigrants
into Tibet, including those areas incorporated
into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan,
Gansu, and Qinghai; and
(B) has excluded Tibetans from participa-
tion in important policy decisions, further
threatening traditional Tibetan life;
(4) the Government of the People’s Republic of
China denies Tibetans their fundamental human
rights, as reported in the Department of State’s Coun-
try Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1993;
(5) the President and the Congress have deter-
mined that the promotion of human rights in Tibet
and the protection of Tibet’s religion and culture are
108
HR 1561 EAS
important elements in United States-China relations
and have urged senior members of the Government of
the People’s Republic of China to enter into sub-
stantive negotiations on these matters with the Dalai
Lama or his representative; and
(6) the Government of the People’s Republic of
China has failed to respond in a good faith manner
by reciprocating a willingness to begin negotiations
without preconditions, and no substantive negotia-
tions have begun.
(c) POSITION OF UNITED STATES SPECIAL ENVOY FOR

(1) ESTABLISHMENT OF POSITION.—There shall

termines and reports to the Committee on Foreign Relations
of the Senate and the Committee on International Relations

cant progress made on human rights in East Timor and

United Nations Human Rights Commission;
113
HR 1561 EAS

nesian and international human rights and humani-

SEC. 615. MIDDLE EAST PEACE FACILITATION ACT OF 1995.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the
‘‘Middle East Peace Facilitation Act of 1995’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the Palestine Liberation Organization (in
this section referred to as the ‘‘PLO’’) has recognized
the State of Israel’s right to exist in peace and secu-
rity; accepted United Nations Security Council Reso-
lutions 242 and 338; committed itself to the peace
114
HR 1561 EAS
process and peaceful coexistence with Israel, free from
violence and all other acts which endanger peace and
stability; and assumed responsibility over all PLO
elements and personnel in order to assure their com-
pliance, prevent violations, and discipline violators;
(2) Israel has recognized the PLO as the rep-
resentative of the Palestinian people;
(3) Israel and the PLO signed a Declaration of
Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements
(in this section referred to as the ‘‘Declaration of
Principles’’) on September 13, 1993, at the White
House;
(4) Israel and the PLO signed an Agreement on
the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area (in this section
referred to as the ‘‘Gaza-Jericho Agreement’’) on May
4, 1994, which established a Palestinian Authority for
the Gaza and Jericho areas;
(5) Israel and the PLO signed an Agreement on
Preparatory Transfer of Powers and Responsibilities
(in 
this 
section 
referred 
to 
as 
the 
‘‘Early
Empowerment Agreement’’) on August 29, 1994,
which provided for the transfer to the Palestinian Au-
thority of certain powers and responsibilities in the
West Bank outside of the Jericho Area;
115
HR 1561 EAS
(6) under the terms of the Declaration of Prin-
ciples, the Gaza-Jericho Agreement and the Early
Empowerment Agreement, the powers and responsibil-
ities of the Palestinian Authority are to be assumed
by an elected Palestinian Council with jurisdiction in
the West Bank and Gaza Strip in accordance with
the Interim Agreement to be concluded between Israel
and the PLO;
(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 PLO’s renunciation
of terrorism, provided authorities to the President to
suspend certain statutory restrictions relating to the
PLO, subject to Presidential certifications that the
PLO has continued to abide by commitments made in
and in connection with or resulting from the good
faith implementation of, the Declaration of Prin-
ciples;
(9) the PLO commitments relevant to Presi-
dential certifications have included commitments to
renounce and condemn terrorism, to submit to the
Palestinian National Council for formal approval the
necessary changes to those articles of the Palestinian
116
HR 1561 EAS
Covenant which call for Israel’s destruction, and to
prevent acts of terrorism and hostilities against Is-
rael; and
(10) the President, in exercising the authorities
described in paragraph (8), has certified to the Con-
gress on four occasions that the PLO was abiding by
its relevant commitments.
(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Con-
gress that although the PLO has recently shown improve-
ment in its efforts to fulfill its commitments, the PLO must
do far more to demonstrate an irrevocable denunciation of
terrorism and ensure a peaceful settlement of the Middle
East dispute, and in particular the PLO must—
(1) submit to the Palestine National Council for
formal approval the necessary changes to those arti-
cles of the Palestinian National Covenant which call
for Israel’s destruction;
(2) make greater efforts to preempt acts of terror,
to discipline violators, and to contribute to stemming
the violence that has resulted in the deaths of 123 Is-
raeli citizens since the signing of the Declaration of
Principles;

the Palestinian Authority and its successors by any
117

commit acts of terrorism;

tially undermines the peace process;

cise that authority to make such certification
until 30 days after a written policy justification
is submitted to the relevant congressional com-
mittees.
