DIVISION A—CONSOLIDATION
OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AGENCIES
TITLE I—GENERAL PROVISIONS
SEC. 101. SHORT TITLE.
This division may be cited as the ‘‘Foreign Affairs
Agencies Consolidation Act of 1995’’.
SEC. 102. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) With the end of the Cold War, the inter-
national challenges facing the United States have
changed, but the fundamental national interests of the
United States have not. The security, economic, and
humanitarian interests of the United States require
continued American engagement in international af-
fairs. The leading role of the United States in world
affairs will be as important in the twenty-first cen-
tury as it has been in the twentieth.
(2) The United States budget deficit requires
that the foreign as well as the domestic programs and
activities of the United States be carefully reviewed
for potential savings. Wherever possible, foreign pro-
grams and activities must be streamlined, managed
more efficiently, and adapted to the requirements of
the post-Cold War era.
(3) In order to downsize the foreign programs
and activities of the United States without jeopardiz-
ing United States interests, strong and effective lead-
ership will be required. As the official principally re-
sponsible for the conduct of foreign policy, the Sec-
retary of State must have the authority to allocate ef-
ficiently the resources within the international affairs
budget. As a first step in the downsizing process, the
proliferation of foreign affairs agencies that occurred
during the Cold War must be reversed, and the func-
tions of these agencies must be restored to the Sec-
retary of State.
(4) A streamlined and reorganized foreign affairs
structure under the strengthened leadership of the Sec-
retary of State can more effectively promote the inter-
national interests of the United States in the next
century than the existing structure.
SEC. 103. PURPOSES.
The purposes of this division are—
(1) to consolidate and reinvent foreign affairs
agencies of the United States within the Department
of State;
(2) to provide for the reorganization of the De-
partment of State to maximize the efficient use of re-
sources, eliminate redundancy in functions, effect
budget savings, and improve the management of the
State Department;
(3) to strengthen—
(A) the coordination of United States for-
eign policy; and
(B) the leading role of the Secretary of
State in the formulation and articulation of
United States foreign policy; and
(4) to abolish, not later than March 1, 1997, the
United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agen-
cy, the United States Information Agency, the Inter-
national Development Cooperation Agency, and the
Agency for International Development.
SEC. 104. DEFINITIONS.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(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
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, has es-
tablished discriminatory development programs which
have resulted in an overwhelming flow of Chinese im-
migrants into Tibet, including those areas incor-
porated into the Chinese provinces of Sichuan,
Yunnan, Gansu, and Quinghai in recent years, and
have excluded Tibetans from participation in impor-
tant policy decisions, further threatening traditional
Tibetan life.
(4) The Government of the People’s Republic of
China denies Tibetans their fundamental human
134
rights, as reported in the Department of State’s Coun-
try Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1995.
(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
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.
(6) The Dalai Lama has repeatedly stated his
willingness to begin substantive negotiations without
preconditions.
(7) 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.

CHAPTER 2—RELATING TO THE UNITED
STATES-NORTH 
KOREA 
AGREED
FRAMEWORK AND THE OBLIGATIONS
OF NORTH KOREA UNDER THAT AND
PREVIOUS 
AGREEMENTS 
WITH 
RE-
SPECT TO THE DENUCLEARIZATION
OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA AND DIA-
LOGUE 
WITH 
THE 
REPUBLIC 
OF
KOREA
SEC. 2641. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
171
(1) The United States-Democratic People’s Re-
public of Korea Agreed Framework (hereafter in this
chapter referred to as the ‘‘Agreed Framework’’), en-
tered into on October 21, 1994, between the United
States and North Korea, requires North Korea to stop
and eventually dismantle its graphite-moderated nu-
clear reactor program and related facilities, and com-
ply fully with its obligations under the Treaty on the
Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, in exchange
for alternative energy sources, including interim sup-
plies of heavy fuel oil for electric generators and more
proliferation-resistant light water reactor technology.
(2) The Agreed Framework also commits North
Korea to ‘‘consistently take steps to implement the
North-South 
Joint 
Declaration 
on 
the
Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula’’ and ‘‘en-
gage in North-South’’ dialogue with the Republic of
Korea.
(3) The Agreed Framework does not indicate spe-
cific criteria for full normalization of relations be-
tween the United States and North Korea, and does
not link the sequencing of actions in the Agreed
Framework with any time-frame for carrying out the
provisions of the North-South Joint Declaration on
the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and
172
carrying out the dialogue between North Korea and
the Republic of Korea.
(4) The commitment by North Korea to carry
out the letter and spirit of the Agreed Framework has
been put into doubt by actions of North Korea since
October 21, 1994, including the suspected diversion of
United States heavy fuel oil in apparent contraven-
tion of the agreed purpose of the interim fuel deliv-
eries, the refusal to accept light water reactors from
the Republic of Korea, the harsh denunciations of the
Government of the Republic of Korea, and other ac-
tions contrary to the commitment by North Korea to
engage in a dialogue with such Government, and the
continued conduct of provocative, offensive oriented
military exercises.
(5) The nuclear threat posed by North Korea is
just one of a number of security concerns of the Unit-
ed States arising out of the policies of North Korea.
SEC. 2642. CLARIFICATION OF NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERA-
TION OBLIGATIONS OF NORTH KOREA UNDER
THE AGREED FRAMEWORK.
It is the sense of the Congress that in discussions or
negotiations with the Government of North Korea pursuant
to the implementation of the United States-Democratic Peo-
ple’s Republic of Korea Agreed Framework entered into on
173
October 21, 1994, the President should uphold the following
minimum conditions relating to nuclear nonproliferation:
(1) All spent fuel from the graphite-moderated
nuclear reactors and related facilities of North Korea
should be removed from the territory of North Korea
as is consistent with the Agreed Framework.
(2) The International Atomic Energy Agency
should have the freedom to conduct any and all in-
spections that it deems necessary to fully account for
the stocks of plutonium and other nuclear materials
in North Korea, including special inspections of sus-
pected nuclear waste sites, before any nuclear compo-
nents controlled by the Nuclear Supplier Group
Guidelines are delivered for a light water reactor for
North Korea.
(3) The dismantlement of all declared graphite-
based nuclear reactors and related facilities in North
Korea, including reprocessing units, should be com-
pleted in accordance with the Agreed Framework and
in a manner that effectively bars in perpetuity any
reactivation of such reactors and facilities.
(4) The United States should suspend actions de-
scribed in the Agreed Framework if North Korea re-
loads its existing 5 megawatt nuclear reactor or re-
sumes construction of nuclear facilities other than
174
those permitted to be built under the Agreed Frame-
work.
SEC. 2643. ROLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA UNDER THE
AGREED FRAMEWORK.
It is further the sense of the Congress that the Republic
of Korea should play the central role in the project to pro-
vide light water reactors to North Korea under the Agreed
Framework.
SEC. 2644. FURTHER STEPS TO PROMOTE UNITED STATES
SECURITY AND POLITICAL INTERESTS WITH
RESPECT TO NORTH KOREA.
It is further the sense of the Congress that, after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the President should not
take further steps toward upgrading diplomatic relations
with North Korea beyond opening liaison offices or relaxing
trade and investment barriers imposed against North Korea
without—
(1) action by the Government of North Korea to
engage in a North-South dialogue with the Govern-
ment of the Republic of Korea;
(2) significant progress toward implementation
of the North-South Joint Declaration on the
Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula; and
(3) progress toward the achievement of several
long-standing United States policy objectives regard-
175
ing North Korea and the Korean Peninsula, includ-
ing—
(A) reducing the number of military forces
of North Korea along the Demilitarized Zone
and relocating such military forces away from
the Demilitarized Zone;
(B) prohibiting any movement by North
Korea toward the deployment of an intermediate
range ballistic missile system; and
(C) prohibiting the export by North Korea
of missiles and other weapons of mass destruc-
tion, including related technology and compo-
nents.
SEC. 2645. RESTRICTIONS ON ASSISTANCE TO NORTH
KOREA AND THE KOREAN PENINSULA EN-
ERGY DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATION.

177
CHAPTER 3—BURMA
SEC. 2651. UNITED STATES POLICY CONCERNING THE DIC-
TATORSHIP IN BURMA.
(a) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that the President should take steps to encourage

tection of all Karen, Karenni, and other minorities in
Burma;
(3) condemn Burmese officials responsible for

Nations International Drug Control Program) activi-
ties.
178
(b) REDUCTION IN DIPLOMATIC PRESENCE.—It is the
sense of the Congress that the President should reduce the

ducing the total number of the members of the Foreign Serv-
ice stationed in Burma on the date of enactment of this
Act.
