SEC. 14. UNOCAL PLAINTIFFS. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the Sense of Congress that 
the United States should work with the Royal Thai Government 
to ensure the safety in Thailand of the 15 plaintiffs in the Doe 
v. Unocal case, and should consider granting refugee status or 
humanitarian parole to these plaintiffs to enter the United States 
consistent with existing United States law. 
(b) REPORT.—Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to the appropriate

SEC. 15. SENSE OF CONGRESS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS 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 pipe-
line) 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 rev-
enue for the Burmese Government. 
(3) The natural gas that transits the Yadana pipeline is 
delivered primarily to Thailand, representing about 20 percent 
of Thailand’s total gas supply. 
(4) The executive branch has in the past exempted invest-
ment in the Yadana pipeline from the sanctions regime against 
the Burmese Government. 
(5) Congress believes that United States companies 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 effort, demonstrating that the 
United States will continue to lead by example. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.— 
(1) Congress urges Yadana investors to consider voluntary 
divestment over time if the Burmese Government fails to take 
meaningful steps to release political prisoners, restore civilian 
constitutional rule and promote national reconciliation. 
(2) Congress will remain concerned with the matter of 
continued investment in the Yadana pipeline in the years 
ahead.
H. R. 3890—17 
(3) Congress urges the executive branch to work with all 
firms invested in Burma’s oil and gas sector to use their influ-
ence to promote the peaceful transition 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 inves-
tors should— 
(1) communicate to the Burmese Government, military and 
business officials, at the highest levels, concern about the lack 
of genuine consultation between 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 transparent manner, 
consistent with legal obligations, its role in any ongoing invest-
ment 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 
Government; and 
(3) work with project partners to ensure that forced labor 
is not used to construct, maintain, support, or defend the project 
facilities, including pipelines, offices, or other facilities.
