SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE UNITED STATES-
JAPAN INSURANCE AGREEMENT
SEC. 582. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the fol-
lowing findings:
(1) The United States and Japan share a long
and important bilateral relationship which serves as
an anchor of peace and stability in the Asia Pacific
region, an alliance which was reaffirmed at the recent
summit meeting between President Clinton and
Prime Minister Hashimoto in Tokyo.
(2) The Japanese economy has experienced dif-
ficulty over the past few years, demonstrating that it
is no longer possible for Japan, the world’s second
largest economy, to use exports as the sole engine of
economic growth, but that the Government of Japan
must promote deregulation of its domestic economy in
order to increase economic growth.
111
HR 3540 EAS
(3) Japan is the second largest insurance market
in the world and the largest life insurance market in
the world.
(4) The share of foreign insurance in Japan is
less than 3 percent, and large Japanese life and non-
life insurers dominate the market.
(5) The Government of Japan has had as its
stated policy for several years the deregulation and
liberalization of the Japan insurance market, and has
developed and adopted a new insurance business law
as a means of achieving this publicly stated objective
of liberalization and deregulation.
(6) The Governments of Japan and the United
States concluded in October of 1994 the United
States-Japan Insurance Agreement, following more
than one and one-half years of negotiations, in which
Agreement the Government of Japan reiterated its in-
tent to deregulate and liberalize its market.
(7) The Government of Japan in June of 1995
undertook additional obligations to provide greater
foreign access and liberalization to its market through
its schedule of insurance obligations during the finan-
cial services negotiations of the World Trade Organi-
zation (WTO).
112
HR 3540 EAS
(8) The United States insurance industry is the
most competitive in the world, operates successfully
throughout the world, and thus could be expected to
achieve higher levels of market access and profit-
ability under a more open, deregulated and liberal-
ized Japanese market.
(9) Despite more than one and one-half years
since the conclusion of the United States-Japan In-
surance Agreement, despite more than one year since
Japan undertook new commitments under the WTO,
despite the entry into force on April 1, 1996, of the
new Insurance Business Law, the Japanese market
remains closed and highly regulated and thus contin-
ues to deny fair and open treatment for foreign insur-
ers, including competitive United States insurers.
(10) The non-implementation of the United
States-Japan Insurance Agreement is a matter of
grave importance to the United States Government.
(11) Dozens of meetings between the United
States Trade Representative and the Ministry of Fi-
nance have taken place during the past year.
(12) President Clinton, Vice President Gore, Sec-
retary 
Rubin, 
Secretary 
Christopher, 
Secretary
Kantor, Ambassador Barshefsky have all indicated to
113
HR 3540 EAS
their counterparts in the Government of Japan the
importance of this matter to the United States.
(13) The United States Senate has written re-
peatedly to the Minister of Finance and the Ambas-
sador of Japan.
(14) Despite all of these efforts and indications
of importance, the Ministry of Finance has failed to
implement the United States-Japan Insurance Agree-
ment.
(15) Several deadlines have already passed for
resolution of this issue with the latest deadline set for
July 31, 1996.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Con-
gress that—
(1) the Ministry of Finance of the Government
of Japan should immediately and without further
delay completely and fully comply with all provisions
of the United States-Japan Insurance Agreement, in-
cluding most especially those which require the Min-
istry of Finance to deregulate and liberalize the pri-
mary sectors of the Japanese market, and those which
insure that the current position of foreign insurers in
Japan will not be jeopardized until primary sector
deregulation has been achieved, and a three-year pe-
riod has elapsed; and
114
HR 3540 EAS
(2) failing satisfactory resolution of this matter
on or before July 31, 1996, the United States Govern-
ment should use any and all resources at its disposal
to bring about full and complete compliance with the
Agreement.
SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE CONFLICT IN

SEC. 583. (a) CONGRESSIONAL DECLARATION.—The

fire agreements in Chechnya;

ing the withdrawal of Russian armed forces from
Chechnya;
(3) encourages the two warring parties to resume
negotiations without delay so as to find a peaceful po-
litical solution to the Chechen problem; and

Cooperation in Europe and its representatives in
Chechnya in its efforts to mediate in Chechnya.

provided by this section shall be subject to the regular notifi-
cation procedures of the Committees on Appropriations.
TRADE RELATIONS WITH EASTERN AND CENTRAL EUROPE.

lowing findings:
(1) The countries of Central and Eastern Eu-
rope, including Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Romania, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Es-
tonia, and Bulgaria, are important to the long-term
119
HR 3540 EAS
stability and economic success of a future Europe
freed from the shackles of communism.
(2) The Central and Eastern European coun-
tries, particularly Hungary, Poland, the Czech Re-
public, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithua-
nia, and Estonia, are in the midst of dramatic re-
forms to transform their centrally planned economies
into free market economies and to join the Western
community.
(3) It is in the long-term interest of the United
States to encourage and assist the transformation of
Central and Eastern Europe into a free market econ-
omy, which is the solid foundation of democracy, and
will contribute to regional stability and greatly in-
creased opportunities for commerce with the United
States.
(4) Trade with the countries of Central and
Eastern Europe accounts for less than one percent of
total United States trade.
(5) The presence of a market with more than
140,000,000 people, with a growing appetite for
consumer goods and services and badly in need of
modern technology and management, should be an
important market for United States exports and in-
vestments.
120
HR 3540 EAS
(6) The United States has concluded agreements
granting most-favored-nation status to most of the
countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that the President should take steps to promote
more open, fair, and free trade between the United States
and the countries of Central Europe, including Poland,
Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia,
Estonia, Romania, and Slovenia, including—
(1) developing closer commercial contacts;
(2) the mutual elimination of tariff and non-
tariff discriminatory barriers in trade with these
countries;
(3) exploring the possibility of framework agree-
ments that would lead to a free trade agreement;
(4) negotiating bilateral investment treaties;
(5) stimulating increased United States exports
and investments to the region;

tlement procedures.

SEC. 591. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the fol-
lowing findings:
(1) Romania emerged from years of brutal Com-
munist dictatorship in 1989 and approved a new
Constitution and elected a Parliament by 1991, lay-

mocracy charged with guaranteeing fundamental
124
HR 3540 EAS

SEC. 592. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the fol-
lowing findings:
(1) After nearly half a century, tens of thousands
of Holocaust survivors continue to be denied justice
and compensation by the Government of Germany.
(2) These people who suffered grievously at the
hands of the Nazis are now victims of unreasonable
126
HR 3540 EAS
and arbitrary rules which keep them outside the
framework of the various compensation programs.
(3) Compensation for these victims has been non-
existent or, at best, woefully inadequate.
(4) The time has come to right this terrible
wrong.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress calls upon

the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Ger-
many to broaden the categories of those eligible for com-
pensation so that the injustice of uncompensated Holocaust
survivors may be corrected before it is too late.

tion that such technology is designed for use in a mis-
sile listed on the MTCR Annex if the President deter-
mines that the final destination of the technology is
a country the government of which the Secretary of
State has determined, for purposes of section
6(j)(1)(A) of the Export Administration Act of 1979
(50 U.S.C. App. 2405(j)(1)(A)), has repeatedly pro-

China should continue to honor its agreement with

ity available to the President to prevent the spread of
ballistic missiles and related technology to Syria.
