SEC. 11. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON INTERNATIONAL ARMS 
SALES TO BURMA. 
It is the sense of Congress that the United States should 
lead efforts in the United Nations Security Council to im-
pose a mandatory international arms embargo on Burma, 
curtailing all sales of weapons, ammunition, military vehi-
cles, and military aircraft to Burma until the SPDC re-
leases all political prisoners, restores constitutional rule, 
takes steps toward inclusion of ethnic minorities in political 
reconciliation efforts, and holds free and fair elections to 
establish a new government. 
SEC. 12. REDUCTION OF SPDC REVENUE FROM TIMBER. 
(a) REPORT.—Not later than one year after the date 
of the enactment of this Act and annually thereafter, the

Commerce, and other Federal officials, as appropriate, shall 
submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
on Burma’s timber trade containing information on the fol-
lowing: 
(1) Products entering the United States made in 
whole or in part of wood grown and harvested in 
Burma, including measurements of annual value and
volume and considering both legal and illegal timber 
trade. 
(2) Statistics about Burma’s timber trade, in-
cluding raw wood and wood products, in aggregate 
and broken down by country and timber species, in-
cluding measurements of value and volume and con-
sidering both legal and illegal timber trade. 
(3) A description of the chains of custody of 
products described in paragraph (1), including direct 
trade streams from Burma to the United States and 
via manufacturing or transshipment in third coun-
tries. 
(4) Illegalities, abuses, or corruption in the Bur-
mese timber sector. 
(5) A description of all common consumer and

lowing: 
(1) Alternatives to Burmese hardwoods for the

national customs documents and declarations that 
would need to be kept and compiled in order to estab-
lish the chain of custody concerning products de-

(4) Strategies for strengthening the capacity of 
Burmese civil society, including Burmese society in

that the United States should work with the Royal Thai

SEC. 15. SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO INVEST-
MENTS IN BURMA’S OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY. 
(a) FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS.—Congress finds 
the following: 
(1) Currently United States, French, and Thai 
investors are engaged in the production and delivery 
of natural gas in the pipeline from the Yadana and 
Sein fields (Yadana pipeline) in the Andaman Sea, 
an enterprise which falls under the jurisdiction of the 
Burmese Government, and United States investment 
by Chevron represents approximately a 28 percent 
nonoperated, working interest in that pipeline. 
(2) The Congressional Research Service estimates 
that 
the 
Yadana 
pipeline 
provides 
at 
least 
$500,000,000 in annual revenue for the Burmese Gov-
ernment.
(3) The natural gas that transits the Yadana 
pipeline is delivered primarily to Thailand, rep-
resenting about 20 percent of Thailand’s total gas 
supply. 
(4) The executive branch has in the past exempt-
ed investment in the Yadana pipeline from the sanc-
tions regime against the Burmese Government. 
(5) Congress believes that United States compa-
nies ought to be held to a high standard of conduct 
overseas and should avoid as much as possible acting 
in a manner that supports repressive regimes such as 
the Burmese Government. 
(6) Congress recognizes the important symbolic 
value that divestment of United States holdings in 
Burma would have on the international sanctions ef-
fort, demonstrating that the United States will con-
tinue to lead by example. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.— 
(1) Congress urges Yadana investors to consider 
voluntary divestment over time if the Burmese Gov-
ernment fails to take meaningful steps to release po-
litical prisoners, restore civilian constitutional rule 
and promote national reconciliation.
(2) Congress will remain concerned with the 
matter of continued investment in the Yadana pipe-
line in the years ahead. 
(3) Congress urges the executive branch to work 
with all firms invested in Burma’s oil and gas sector 
to use their influence to promote the peaceful transi-
tion to civilian democratic rule in Burma. 
(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that so long as Yadana investors remain invested in 
Burma, such investors should— 
(1) communicate to the Burmese Government, 
military and business officials, at the highest levels, 
concern about the lack of genuine consultation be-
tween the Burmese Government and its people, the 
failure of the Burmese Government to use its natural 
resources to benefit the Burmese people, and the mili-
tary’s use of forced labor; 
(2) publicly disclose and deal with in a trans-
parent manner, consistent with legal obligations, its 
role in any ongoing investment in Burma, including 
its financial involvement in any joint production 
agreement or other joint ventures and the amount of 
their direct or indirect support of the Burmese Gov-
ernment; and
(3) work with project partners to ensure that 
forced labor is not used to construct, maintain, sup-
port, or defend the project facilities, including pipe-
lines, offices, or other facilities. 
Resolved further, That the House agree to the amend-
ment of the Senate to the title of the aforesaid bill with the 
following: 
In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted by the 
amendment of the Senate to the title of the bill, amend 
the title so as to read: ‘‘An Act to impose sanctions on 
officials of the State Peace and Development Council in 
Burma, to amend the Burmese Freedom and Democracy 
Act of 2003 to exempt humanitarian assistance from 
United States sanctions on Burma, to prohibit the impor-
tation of gemstones from Burma, or that originate in 
Burma, to promote a coordinated international effort to 
restore civilian democratic rule to Burma, and for other 
purposes.’’. 
Attest: 
Clerk.
