TITLE VI—MIDDLE EAST PEACE FACILITATION
ACT OF 1995
SHORT TITLE
SEC. 601. This title may be cited as the ‘‘Middle East
Peace Facilitation Act of 1995’’.
FINDINGS
SEC. 602. The Congress finds that—
(1) the Palestine Liberation Organization (here-
after the ‘‘P.L.O.’’) has recognized the State of Israel’s
right to exist in peace and security; accepted United
Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338;
committed itself to the peace process and peaceful co-
existence with Israel, free from violence and all other
acts which endanger peace and stability; and assumed
responsibility over all P.L.O. elements and personnel
in order to assure their compliance, prevent viola-
tions, and discipline violators;
(2) Israel has recognized the P.L.O. as the rep-
resentative of the Palestinian people;
(3) Israel and the P.L.O. signed a Declaration of
Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements
(hereafter the ‘‘Declaration of Principles’’) on Sep-
tember 13, 1993 at the White House;
111
HR 1868 RS
(4) Israel and the P.L.O. signed an Agreement
on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area (hereafter the
‘‘Gaza-Jericho Agreement’’) on May 4, 1994 which es-
tablished a Palestinian Authority for the Gaza and
Jericho areas;
(5) Israel and the P.L.O. signed an Agreement
on Preparatory Transfer of Powers and Responsibil-
ities (hereafter the ‘‘Early Empowerment Agreement’’)
on August 29, 1994 which provided for the transfer
to the Palestinian Authority of certain powers and re-
sponsibilities in the West Bank outside of the Jericho
Area;
(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 P.L.O.;
(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 P.L.O.’s renunci-
112
HR 1868 RS
ation of terrorism, provided authorities to the Presi-
dent to suspend certain statutory restrictions relating
to the P.L.O., subject to Presidential certifications
that the P.L.O. has continued to abide by commit-
ments made in and in connection with or resulting
from the good faith implementation of, the Declara-
tion of Principles;
(9) the P.L.O. 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
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 aforemen-
tioned authorities, has certified to the Congress on
four occasions that the P.L.O. was abiding by its rel-
evant commitments.
SENSE OF CONGRESS
SEC. 603. It is the sense of the Congress that although
the P.L.O. has recently shown improvement in its efforts
to fulfill its commitments, it must do far more to dem-
onstrate an irrevocable denunciation of terrorism and en-
sure a peaceful settlement of the Middle East dispute, and
in particular it must—
113
HR 1868 RS
(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 pre-empt acts of ter-
ror, to discipline violators and to contribute to stem-
ming the violence that has resulted in the deaths of
123 Israeli citizens since the signing of the Declara-
tion of Principles;
(3) prohibit participation in its activities and in
the Palestinian Authority and its successors by any
groups or individuals which continue to promote and
commit acts of terrorism;
(4) cease all anti-Israel rhetoric, which poten-
tially undermines the peace process;
(5) confiscate all unlicensed weapons and restrict
the issuance of licenses to those with legitimate need;
(6) transfer and cooperate in transfer proceed-
ings relating to any person accused by Israel to acts
of terrorism; and
(7) respect civil liberties, human rights and
democratic norms.
