(2) The President has expressed a desire to en-
hance United States-Israeli military and technical co-
operation, particularly in the areas of missile defense,
counter-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction,
and counter-proliferation of ballistic missiles.
(3) Maintaining the qualitative superiority of
the Israeli Defense Forces and strengthening United
States defense ties with Israel will help to ensure that
Israel has the military strength and political support
necessary for taking risks for peace while providing
Arab states with an incentive to pursue negotiations
instead of war.
(4) The establishment of the United States Israel
Science and Technology Commission, the binational
Senior Planning Group, and the Technology Transfer
269
HR 2401 EAS
Working Group is in the interest of both the United
States and Israel.
(5) It is in the national interests of the United
States and Israel for the organizations referred to in
paragraph (4) to work to strengthen existing mecha-
nisms for cooperation and to eliminate barriers to
further collaboration between the United States and
Israel.
(6) Israel continues to face difficult threats to its
national security that are compounded by the pro-
liferation of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic
missiles.
SEC. 1054. DEFENSE BURDENSHARING.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since fiscal year 1985, the budget of the De-
partment of Defense has declined by 34 percent in
real terms.
(2) During the past few years, the United States
military presence overseas has declined significantly
in the following ways:
(A) Since fiscal year 1986, the number of
United States military personnel permanently
stationed overseas has declined by almost
200,000 personnel.
270
HR 2401 EAS
(B) From fiscal year 1989 to fiscal year
1994, spending by the United States to support
the stationing of United States military forces
overseas will have declined by 36 percent.
(C) Since January 1990, the Department of
Defense has announced the closure, reduction, or
transfer to standby status of 840 United States
military facilities overseas, which is a 50 percent
reduction in the number of such facilities.
(3) The United States military presence overseas
will continue to decline as a result of actions by the
executive branch and the following initiatives of the
Congress:
(A) Section 1302 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993, which
required a 40 percent reduction by September
30, 1996, in the number of United States mili-
tary personnel permanently stationed ashore in
overseas locations.
(B) Section 1303 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993, which
specified that no more than 100,000 United
States military personnel may be permanently
stationed ashore in NATO member countries
after September 30, 1996.
272
HR 2401 EAS
(A) Under the 1991 Special Measures
Agreement between Japan and the United States,
Japan will pay by 1995 almost all yen-denomi-
nated costs of stationing United States military
personnel in Japan.
(B) The Republic of Korea has agreed to
pay by 1995, one-third of the won-based costs in-
curred by the United States in stationing United
States military personnel in the Republic of
Korea.
(C) The North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion (NATO) has agreed that the Infrastructure
Program could pay the annual operation and
maintenance costs of facilities that would sup-
port the reinforcement of Europe by United
States military forces.
(b) FUNDING REDUCTIONS.—(1) The total amount au-
thorized to be appropriated to the Department of Defense
for operation and maintenance and for military construc-
tion (including NATO Infrastructure) to conduct overseas
basing activities during fiscal year 1994 may not exceed
the amount equal to the baseline for fiscal year 1993 re-
duced by $1,355,500,000.
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), the baseline for fis-
cal year 1993 is the sum of the amounts that were made
273
HR 2401 EAS
available for overseas basing activities out of the amounts
appropriated for such fiscal year for the following purposes:
(A) Operation and maintenance.
(B) Family housing, operations.
(C) Family housing, construction.
(D) Military construction (including NATO In-
frastructure).
(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress
that the amounts obligated to conduct overseas basing ac-
tivities should decline significantly in fiscal year 1995 and
in future fiscal years as—
(1) the number of United States military person-
nel stationed overseas continues to decline; and
(2) the countries in which United States mili-
tary personnel are stationed and the alliances in
which the United States participates assume an in-
creased share of United States overseas basing costs.
(d) BURDENSHARING AGREEMENTS FOR INCREASED
HOST NATION SUPPORT.—(1) In order to achieve addi-
tional savings in overseas basing costs, the President should
intensify his efforts to negotiate a more favorable host-na-
tion agreement with each foreign country to which this
paragraph applies under paragraph (3)(A).
274
HR 2401 EAS
(2) For purposes of paragraph (1), a more favorable
host-nation agreement is an agreement under which such
foreign country—
(A) assumes an increased share of the costs of
United States military installations in that country,
including the costs of—
(i) labor, utilities, and services;
(ii) military construction projects and real
property maintenance;
(iii) leasing requirements associated with
the United States military presence; and
(iv) actions necessary to meet local environ-
mental standards;
(B) relieves the Armed Forces of the United
States of all tax liability that, with respect to forces

nificant contributions under Operation Restore Hope
towards the establishment of a secure environment for
humanitarian relief operations and restoration of
peace in the region to end the humanitarian disaster
that had claimed more than 300,000 lives.
(2) Since the mission of United States forces in
support of the United Nations appears to be evolving
from the establishment of ‘‘a secure environment for

SEC. 1068. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING ESTAB-
LISHMENT OF AN OFFICE OF ECONOMIC CON-
VERSION 
INFORMATION 
WITHIN 
THE
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The available Federal resources for defense
economic adjustment and conversion assistance are
spread among 23 different Federal departments and
agencies.
(2) Numerous other Federal departments and
agencies are involved in related technology reinvest-
ment activities.
(3) Workers and communities adversely affected
by closures of military installations or decreased
spending for national defense often experience dif-
ficulty finding which Federal department or agency is
appropriate for providing assistance needed by such
workers and communities.
(4) Expanded coordination between Federal de-
partments and agencies could greatly improve Federal
efforts to assist in defense economic adjustment and
conversion.
(b) SENSE
OF CONGRESS REGARDING ESTABLISH-
MENT OF AN OFFICE OF ECONOMIC CONVERSION INFORMA-
TION.—It is the sense of the Congress that the President
287
HR 2401 EAS
should work with the Congress to establish within the De-
partment of Commerce an Office of Economic Conversion
Information which, under the joint direction of the Sec-
retary of Commerce and the Secretary of Defense, would—
(1) serve as an information clearinghouse to pro-
vide comprehensive information regarding assistance
for communities, workers, and businesses that have
been adversely affected by closures of military instal-
lations and reduced spending for national defense;
(2) enhance and consolidate existing programs
for collecting and disseminating information regard-
ing defense economic adjustment and conversion;
(3) be widely publicized as the central point of
access for the public on issues related to defense eco-
nomic adjustment and conversion;
(4) develop data bases of information, to be
available to help communities, businesses, and work-
ers dependent on spending for national defense iden-
tify and apply for assistance from Federal depart-
ments and agencies, including—
(A) comprehensive listings and summaries
of all major Federal, State, and local economic
adjustment and conversion programs;
(B) a data base listing information avail-
able to the public regarding major defense con-

stallations and identifying affected communities,
industries, and jobs;
(C) listings and summaries of defense con-
version attempts and successes; and
(D) relevant reference lists and bibliog-
raphies;
(5) provide information to communities, workers,
and businesses by such easily accessible and easily
used means as toll-free telephone information lines,
inexpensive and frequently updated manuals and
other print materials, workshops on clearinghouse
services, and on-line computer access to clearinghouse
information;
(6) facilitate a series of community roundtables,
involving consultation and briefings with commu-
nities, workers, and businesses adversely affected by
closures of military installations and reduced spend-
ing for national defense, to be held annually in all
major regions of the United States so affected; and
(7) establish a mechanism, coordinated by the
Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Defense,
to ensure adequate cooperation between all Federal
departments and agencies that oversee defense eco-

grams.
(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING EVALUATION
AND FUNDING OF THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC CONVERSION
INFORMATION.—It is further the sense of Congress that—
(1) after the Office of Economic Conversion In-
formation has been in operation for three years, the
Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Defense
should jointly conduct a comprehensive evaluation of
the operations of such office and consider whether the
purpose of the office should be modified or the office
should be terminated; and
(2) the operating expenses for the Office of Eco-
nomic Conversion Information should not exceed
$5,000,000 for each of the first three full fiscal years
in which the office is in operation.

(a) ELIGIBILITY.—Under regulations prescribed by the
Secretary of the Army, former prisoners of war who, having
served honorably in active military, naval, or air service
(as determined in accordance with such regulations), die
on or after the date of the enactment of this Act shall be

HR 2401 EAS
SEC. 1072. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE JUS-
TIFICATION 
FOR 
CONTINUING 
THE 
EX-
TREMELY LOW FREQUENCY COMMUNICATION
SYSTEM.
(a) FINDINGS.—(1) There is a need to re-evaluate all
defense spending in light of the post-Cold War era and
budget and fiscal constraints;
(2) The Extremely Low Frequency Communications
System (ELF System) was originally designed to play a
role in the strategic deterrence mission against the former
Soviet Union;
(3) The threat of nuclear war has greatly diminished
since the collapse of the Soviet Union;
(4) The ELF System is increasingly in use for commu-
nications with our SSN attack submarines in addition to
our strategic missile submarines;
(5) Military base closing, downsizing of military fa-
cilities and activities, and termination of selected projects
are appropriate in light of the end of the Cold War and
the approximately $4,000,000,000,000 national debt;
(6) It is appropriate to establish funding priorities
within the military defense budget; and
(7) Ongoing studies of the effects of ELF operations
on human health and the environment are due to be con-
cluded next year.
293
HR 2401 EAS
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—Now, therefore, it is the
sense of Congress that—
(1) the Secretary of Defense should conduct an
evaluation of the benefits and costs of continued oper-
ation of the Extremely Low Frequency Communica-
tions System and alternatives thereto, if any;
(2) the results of such an evaluation should be
submitted to the Congressional Defense Committees
prior to consideration of the fiscal year 1995 Defense
budget request; and
(3) the Extremely Low Frequency Communica-
tion System should again be considered in the next
round of military base closures.
SEC. 1073. BASING FOR C–130 AIRCRAFT.
The Secretary of the Air Force shall determine the unit
assignment and basing location for any C–130 aircraft pro-
cured for the Air Force Reserve from funds appropriated
for National Guard and Reserve Equipment procurement
for fiscal year 1992 or 1993 in such manner as the Sec-
retary determines to be in the best interest of the Air Force.
SEC. 1074. IMPORTANCE OF NAVAL OCEANOGRAPHY SUR-
VEY AND RESEARCH IN THE POST-COLD WAR
PERIOD.
(a) The Senate finds that—
294
HR 2401 EAS
(1) the Oceanographer of the Navy is responsible
for the all Navy oceanographic research and survey
efforts;
(2) oceanographic research and surveys are criti-
cal investments in the Navy’s ability to operate in lit-
toral waters of the world with an increased confidence
of operational success;
(3) oceanographic surveys enable the Navy to
conduct naval operations in greater safety, particu-
larly in littoral waters;
(4) the survey of littoral waters is most safely
conducted during periods of peace when conflict is not
imminent and the risk to lives and ships are dimin-
ished;
(5) the Navy has reduced their oceanographic re-
search and survey effort by almost 50 percent over the
last five years;
(6) this reduction in effort is the result of undis-
tributed budget reductions required by the Comptrol-
ler of the Navy to meet overall Navy budget targets;
(7) the number of naval ships dedicated to ocean-
ographic survey and research have been reduced from
12 to 7 over the last five years, significantly reducing
the Navy’s oceanographic survey capability;
(b) Therefore, it is the sense of the Congress that—
295
HR 2401 EAS
(1) additional reductions to the Office of the
Oceanographer of the Navy which will further reduce
the level of oceanographic survey and research efforts
of the Navy should be avoided;
(2) a window of opportunity exists which allows
near unencumbered access to littoral waters which are
now available for surveying and research;
(3) committing limited resources to the Navy’s
oceanographic research and survey effort should be
considered a force multiplier to United States combat
forces in future conflicts, particularly in littoral wa-
ters;
(4) the Navy should exploit this opportunity to
survey and research these critical littoral waters and
maintain funding levels for oceanographic surveying
and research.
SEC. 1075. DIGITAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES.
Of the funds authorized to be appropriated pursuant
to section 201(1), $24,000,000 may be obligated and ex-
pended for the purposes of demonstrating in field maneu-
vers the integration of digital electronic devices for purposes
of command, control, battle management and combat iden-
tification for all major weapon systems contained in a com-
bined arms brigade.

SEC. 1076. RESEARCH ON EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS
AGENTS AND MATERIALS OF ARMED SERV-
ICES PERSONNEL WHO SERVED IN THE PER-
SIAN GULF WAR.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) A number of veterans of the Persian Gulf
War have reported unexplained illnesses and claim
that such illnesses are a consequence of exposure to
chemical, biological, radiological, or other hazardous
agents or materials as a result of service in Southwest
Asia during the Persian Gulf War.
(2) Members of the Armed Forces of the former
Czechoslovakian Federative Republic who served on a
chemical decontamination team in Southwest Asia
during the period of the Persian Gulf War have
claimed exposure to chemical agents during such serv-
ice, and the Czech Minister of Defense has confirmed
that members of that chemical decontamination team
detected low levels of nerve gas in that region during
that period.
(3) Reports indicate that members of the United
States Armed Forces who served in Southwest Asia
during the Persian Gulf War may have been exposed
to combined chemical warfare agents and other haz-
ardous agents and substances during such service.
297
HR 2401 EAS
(4) Such exposure may have occurred directly as
a result of attack on such members by Iraqi forces or
indirectly as a result of prolonged ‘‘downwind’’ expo-
sure to airborne chemical warfare agents or other haz-
ardous substances that were dispersed as a con-
sequence of the bombing of Iraqi chemical weapons fa-
cilities, nuclear facilities, and other facilities contain-
ing hazardous substances.
(5) It is in the interest of the United States that
medical professionals providing care to members of
the Armed Forces and to veterans understand the na-
ture of the illnesses that such members and veterans
may contract in order to ensure that such profes-
sionals have sufficient information to provide proper
care to such members and veterans.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that—
(1) one of the threats to international peace and
to the interests of the United States in the post-Cold
War era is the proliferation of weapons utilizing
chemical, biological, radiological, or other hazardous
agents or materials;
(2) the readiness of the United States to engage
in future military conflicts will be directly related to
the capability of the United States—
298
HR 2401 EAS
(A) to identify the threat to members of the
Armed Forces posed by the utilization of such
weapons and the agents and materials utilized
in such weapons;
(B) to protect such members from the ad-
verse effects of exposure to such agents and mate-
rials; and
(C) to treat the casualties that result from
the utilization of such weapons and from expo-
sure to such agents and materials; and
(3) the Department of Defense is uniquely capa-
ble of conducting research into the sources and effects
of exposure of members of the Armed Forces during
military conflicts to chemical, biological, radiological,
and other hazardous agents and materials.
(c) CONTRACT FOR RESEARCH FACILITY AND ACTIVI-
TIES.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the Secretary of the
Army shall enter into a contract with a hospital or other
existing health care or health care research facility in order
to ensure that the research referred to in paragraph (3) is
carried out.
(2)(A) The Secretary shall enter into the contract
under paragraph (1) using full and open competition.
299
HR 2401 EAS
(B) The facility referred to in such paragraph shall
be affiliated with a medical facility of the Department of
Veterans Affairs.
(3) The research referred to in paragraph (1) is re-
search into the effects upon humans of exposure to hazard-
ous agents and materials, including chemical and biological
warfare agents, toxins, and materials to which members of
the Armed Forces may have been exposed as a result of serv-
ice in Southwest Asia during the Persian Gulf War.
(4) Humans may not be exposed to hazardous agents
or materials as a result of the carrying out of research
under this subsection.
(d) STUDY ON REPORTS OF EXPOSURE TO HAZARD-
OUS AGENTS AND MATERIALS.—(1) Subject to paragraph
(2), the Secretary of Defense shall carry out a study in
order to determine the validity and accuracy of claims that
members of the Armed Forces who served in Southwest Asia
during the Persian Gulf War were exposed to combined
chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents, biologi-
cal toxins, and other unconventional warfare agents or
other environmental conditions hazardous to the health of
such members as a result of such service. The study shall
identify the locations at which such exposure, if any, oc-
curred and the extent, if any, of such exposure.
300
HR 2401 EAS
(2) The study under paragraph (1) shall include an
investigation of such exposure directly as a result of attack
on such members by Iraqi forces and indirectly as a result
of prolonged downwind exposure to such agents and toxins
dispersed in consequence of the bombing of Iraqi chemical
weapons facilities, nuclear facilities, and other facilities
containing hazardous substances.
(e) STUDY ON EXPOSURE TO DEPLETED URANIUM.—
The Secretary of the Army shall carry out a study of the
effects upon humans of exposure to fragments of depleted
uranium from weapons rounds that have been fired.
(f) PARTICIPATION
BY
THE DEPARTMENT
OF DE-
FENSE.—(1) The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that all
elements of the Departments of the Defense, including all
chemical and biological warfare defense programs, provide
to the facility with which the Secretary of the Army con-
tracts under subsection (c) any information possessed by
such elements on the identity and quantity of the chemical,
biological, radiological, and other hazardous agents and
materials to which members of the Armed Forces may have

SEC. 1077. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO THE PRO-
LIFERATION OF SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLE
TECHNOLOGIES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) The United States has joined with other na-
tions in the Missile Technology Control Regime
(MTCR) which restricts the transfer of missiles or
equipment or technology that could contribute to the
design, development or production of missiles capable
of delivering weapons of mass destruction.
303
HR 2401 EAS
(2) Missile technology is indistinguishable from
and interchangeable with space launch vehicle tech-
nology.
(3) Transfers of missile technology or space
launch vehicle technology cannot be safeguarded in a
manner that would provide timely warning of diver-
sion for military purposes.
(4) It has been United States policy since agree-
ing to the guidelines of the Missile Technology Control
Regime to treat the sale or transfer of space launch
vehicle technology as restrictively as the sale or trans-
fer of missile technology.
(5) Previous congressional action on missile pro-
liferation, notably title XVII of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law
101–510; 104 Stat. 1738), has explicitly supported
this policy through such actions as the statutory defi-
nition of the term ‘‘missile’’ to mean ‘‘a category I
system as defined in the MTCR Annex, and any other
unmanned delivery system of similar capability, as
well as the specially designed production facilities for
these systems’’.
(6) There is strong evidence that emerging na-
tional space launch programs in the Third World are
not economically viable.
304
HR 2401 EAS
(7) The United States has successfully dissuaded
countries from pursuing space launch vehicle pro-
grams in part by offering to cooperate with them in
other areas of space science and technology.
(8) The United States has successfully dissuaded
other MTCR adherents, and countries who have
agreed to abide by MTCR guidelines, from providing
assistance to emerging national space launch pro-
grams in the Third World.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress
that—
(1) the Congress supports the strict interpreta-
tion by the United States of the Missile Technology
Control Regime concerning—
(A) the inability to distinguish space
launch vehicle technology from missile technology
under the regime; and
(B) the inability to safeguard space launch
vehicle technology in a manner that would pro-
vide timely warning of its diversion to military
purposes; and
(2) the United States and the governments of
other nations adhering to the Missile Technology Con-
trol Regime should be recognized for—
305
HR 2401 EAS
(A) the success of such governments in re-
stricting the export of space launch vehicle tech-
nology and of missile technology; and
(B) the significant contribution made by the
imposition of such restrictions to reducing the
proliferation of missile technology capable of
being used to deliver weapons of mass destruc-
tion.
(c) DEFINITIONS.—In this section:
(1) The term ‘‘Missile Technology Control Re-
gime’’ or ‘‘MTCR’’ means the policy statement, be-
tween the United States, the United Kingdom, the
Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy, Canada,
and Japan, announced on April 16, 1987, to restrict
sensitive missile-relevant transfers based on the
MTCR Annex, and any amendments thereto.
(2) The term ‘‘MTCR Annex’’ means the Guide-
lines and Equipment and Technology Annex of the
Missile Technology Control Regime, and any amend-
ments thereto.
SEC. 1078. AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC FACILITIES IN GER-
MANY.
(a) No embassy, chancery, or consular facilities in
Germany other than the facilities already occuppied as of
January 1, 1993 by United States diplomatic personnel
306
HR 2401 EAS
may be purchased, constructed, leased or otherwise occupied
unless such facilities are purchased, constructed, modified
or leased with funds provided by the German government
as an offset for the value of facilities returned by the United
States Government to the Government of Germany pursu-
ant to Article 52 of the current Status of Forces Agreement
with the Government of Germany.
(b) The Secretary of State or his representative may
not enter into any legal instrument to purchase, construct,
modify or lease any facility in Germany acquired pursuant
to subsection (a) of this section until the Secretary of De-
fense certifies that the United States Government has re-
ceived or is scheduled to receive cash payments or offsets-
in-kind of a value not less than 50 percent of the value of
the facilities returned by the United States Government to
the Government of Germany pursuant to Article 52 of the
current Status of Forces Agreement with the Government
of Germany.
SEC. 1079. EFFECTIVE DATE FOR CHANGES IN SERVICE-
MEN’S GROUP LIFE INSURANCE PROGRAM.
(a) USE
OF INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE.—Section
1967 of title 38, United States Code, is amended by adding
at the end the following new subsection:
‘‘(f) The effective date and time for any change in bene-
fits under the Servicemen’s Group Life Insurance Program
307
HR 2401 EAS
shall be based on the date and time according to the time
zone immediately west of the International Date Line.’’.
(b) EFFECTIVE DATE.—The amendment made by sub-
section (a) shall apply with respect to amendments to chap-
ter 19 of title 38, United States Code, that take effect after

SEC. 1080. AWARD OF THE NAVY EXPEDITIONARY MEDAL.
It is the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of the
Navy should direct that members who served in Task Force
16, culminating in the air-raid commonly known as the
‘‘Doolittle raid on Tokyo’’, during April 1942, be awarded
the Navy Expeditionary Medal for such service.
SEC. 1081. REPORT ON MILITARY FOOD DISTRIBUTION
PRACTICES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The Defense Personnel Support Center, a
component of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA),
purchases more than 90 percent of the food supplied
to military ‘‘end-users’’ such as dining halls, hospitals
and other facilities that feed troops.
(2) Semiperishable items, such as canned goods,
are stored in four DLA depots. Perishable items, in-
cluding fresh and frozen vegetables, fruits, and meats,
308
HR 2401 EAS
are stored in 21 contractor-operated Defense Subsist-
ence Offices.
(3) Private sector end-users, including independ-
ent restaurants, hospitals, and hotels, obtain their
food through direct delivery from distributors.
(4) A Department of Defense comprehensive in-
ventory reduction plan, issued in May 1990, stated
that ‘‘where DoD requirements can be met through
commercial distribution systems in a timely and cost-
effective fashion, no value is added by pushing items
through the DoD warehousing systems.’’.
(5) A June 1993 GAO report determined that the
Department of Defense could achieve substantial cost
savings by expanding the use of private sector food
distributors and practices in the military food supply
system.
(b) REVIEW REQUIRED.—The Secretary of Defense
shall conduct a review which evaluates the feasibility and
economic benefits resulting from the expanded use of full-
line distributors to deliver food directly to military end-
users. The review should address whether the expanded use
of distributors could reduce depot storage of food (except for
war reserve stocks and items bound for overseas), and elimi-
nates the requirement for Defense Subsistence Offices and
certain base warehouse activities. The review should include
309
HR 2401 EAS
a cost comparison of the Department of Defense supply sys-
tem with the costs of commercial distributors. The review
should also consider what obstacles may exist that would
hinder the Department of Defense’s ability to procure com-
mercial items and institute commercial logistics practices.
(c) REPORT.—Not later than March 1, 1994, the Sec-
retary shall submit to the congressional defense committees
a report on his findings from the review together with any
recommendations.
SEC. 1082. PREVENTION OF ENTRY INTO THE UNITED
STATES OF CERTAIN FORMER MEMBERS OF
THE IRAQI ARMED FORCES.
It is the sense of the Senate that no person who was
a member of the armed forces of Iraq during the period from
August 2, 1990 through February 28, 1991 and who is in
a refugee camp in Saudi Arabia as of the date of enactment
of this Act shall be granted entry into the United States
under the Immigration and Nationality Act, as amended,
unless the President certifies to Congress prior to such entry
that such person—
(1) assisted the United States or coalition armed
forces after defection from the armed forces of Iraq or
after capture by the United States or coalition armed
forces; and
310
HR 2401 EAS
(2) did not commit or assist in the commission
of war crimes.
SEC. 1083. SHORT TITLE.
Sections 1083, 1084, and 1085 may be cited as ‘‘NATO
Review Requirements’’.
SEC. 1084. FINDINGS; POLICY.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO) has successfully met the challenge of helping
to maintain the peace, security and freedom of the
United States and its NATO allies for more than
forty years;
(2) the national security interests of the United
States have been well served by the process of con-
sultation, coordination, and military cooperation in
the NATO framework;
(3) recent history has witnessed radical changes
in the international security environment, including
the fall of the Berlin Wall, the unification of Ger-
many, the disbanding of the Warsaw Pact and the
disintegration of the Soviet Union;
(4) the military threats which NATO was estab-
lished to deter have receded with the end of the Cold
War, calling into question both the future value of the
311
HR 2401 EAS
alliance and the rationale for United States military
deployments in Europe;
(5) the post-Cold War security situation contin-
ues to present a wide array of challenges to United
States national interests, many of which interests the
United States shares with its allies in Europe and
Canada;
(6) the international community may prove ca-
pable of deterring many threats to the common peace
if it can respond decisively to aggression;
(7) the United States must share the burden of
its international security commitments with other na-
tions if it is to tend to the needs of its own citizens
in a responsible fashion;
(8) several of the newly democratic nations of
Central and Eastern Europe have expressed interest
in seeking membership in NATO;
(9) many of the security challenges facing the
post-Cold War world would be best handled through
coherent multilateral responses;
(10) the United States should never send its
military forces into combat unless they are provided
with the best opportunity to accomplish their objec-
tives with as little risk as possible;
312
HR 2401 EAS
(11) military interventions against antagonistic
armed forces cannot be conducted safely or effectively
on a multilateral basis unless such operations are
jointly planned in advance and are executed by units
which have trained together and are familiar with
each others operational procedures;
(12) NATO is currently the only organization
with the experience, trained staff and infrastructure
necessary to support military cooperation with the
major military allies of the United States;
(13) the NATO allies already have volunteered to
consider requests from the United Nations and the
Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe
for assistance in maintaining the peace;
(14) justification of the relevance of NATO in the
post-Cold War world will depend largely upon the al-
liance’s ability to adapt its mission and procedures to
the new security environment;
(15) justification of future United States support
for the alliance and for a United States military
presence in Europe will depend upon NATO’s ability
to address those security interests which the United
States shares with its allies in Europe and Canada;
(16) a summit meeting of the NATO heads of
state, which has been scheduled for January 1994,
313
HR 2401 EAS
would present an excellent opportunity for the Presi-
dent of the United States to articulate a new, broader
security mission for the alliance in the post-Cold War
world, one which will enable it to address a wider
array of threats to its members’ interests and which
will help to share more effectively the burden of inter-
national security requirements.
(b) POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) old threats to the security of the United
States and its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization have retreated radically but new, more di-
verse challenges have arisen in the form of ethno-reli-
gious conflict in Central and Eastern Europe and the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in re-
gions proximate to alliance territory and NATO’s
mission must be redefined so that it may respond to
such challenges to its members’ security even when
those challenges emanate from beyond the geographic
boundaries of its members’ territories;
(2) future United States military involvement
in, and contributions to, NATO should be determined
in relation to the alliance’s success or failure in
adapting itself to confronting the challenges of the
post-Cold War world.

State and the Secretary of Defense, shall send a report to
the Armed Services Committees of the United States Senate
and House of Representatives and to the Foreign Relations
Committee of the United States Senate and the Foreign Af-
fairs Committee of the House of Representatives. This report
should contain recommendations on—
(1) the manner in which NATO can formulate
and implement a strategy to address the new, more
disparate threats to the security of its members;
(2) the feasibility of having NATO conduct secu-
rity operations beyond the geographic boundaries of
the alliance;
(3) the manner in which NATO should restruc-
ture its forces, training and equipment for the new se-
curity environment;
(4) the desirability of expanding the alliance to
include either traditionally neutral nations or the
new democratic nations of Eastern or Central Europe
who wish to join NATO;
(5) the proper size and composition of United
States forces to be deployed in Europe to assist in the
implementation of NATO’s new mandate and possible
reduction in United States military deployments in
315
HR 2401 EAS
Europe in the event of the alliance’s failure to adopt
a new mandate;
(6) the structure and organization of NATO
headquarters, with particular attention to the need to
reinvigorate the NATO Military Committee;
(7) the desirability of having additional NATO
forces train in North America in a manner support-
ive of NATO’s proposed new strategy;
(8) the structure of NATO’s military command,
with particular attention to the need to make NATO’s
Rapid Reaction Force a credible deterrent to regional
aggression;
(9) the levels of United States, European and
Canadian defense budgets and their ability to finance
forces consistent with the implementation of NATO’s
new mandate.

Hercegovina and Armenia. To the extent possible, these sup-
plies should come from surplus stocks.
SEC. 1094. LANDMINE MORATORIUM EXTENSION ACT.
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section shall be titled the
‘‘Landmine Moratorium Extension Act of 1993’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) Anti-personnel landmines, which are de-
signed to maim and kill people, have been used indis-
criminately in dramatically increasing numbers
340
HR 2401 EAS
around the world. Hundreds of thousands of non-
combatant civilians, including children, have been the
primary victims. unlike other military weapons,
landmines often remain implanted and undiscovered
after conflict has ended, causing massive suffering to
civilian populations.
(2) Tens of millions of landmines have been
strewn in at least 62 countries, often making whole
areas uninhabitable. The State Department estimates
there are more than 10,000,000 landmines in Afghan-
istan, 9,000,000 in Angola, 4,000,000 in Cambodia,
3,000,000 in Iraqi Kurdistan, and 2,000,000 each in
Somalia, Mozambique, and the former Yugoslavia.
Hundreds of thousands of landmines were used in
conflicts in Central America in the 1980s.
(3) Advanced technologies are being used to man-
ufacture sophisticated mines which can be scattered
remotely at a rate of 1,000 per hour. These mines,
which are being produced by many industralized
countries, were found in Iraqi arsenals after the Per-
sian Gulf War.
(4) At least 300 types of anti-personnel land-
mines have been manufactured by at least 44 coun-
tries, including the United States. However, the Unit-
ed States is not a major exporter of landmines. Dur-
341
HR 2401 EAS
ing the past ten years the Administration has ap-
proved ten licenses for the commercial export of anti-
personnel landmines with a total value of $980,000,
and the sale under the Foreign Military Sales pro-
gram of 108,852 anti-personnel landmines.
(5) The United States signed, but has not rati-
fied, the 1980 Convention on Prohibitations or Re-
strictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weap-
ons Which May Be Deemed To Be Excessively Injuri-
ous or To Have Indiscriminate Effects. Protocol II of
the Convention, otherwise known as the Landmine
Protocol, prohibits the indiscriminate use of land-
mines.
(6) When it signed the 1980 Convention, the
United States stated: ‘‘We believe that the Convention
represents a positive step forward in efforts to mini-
mize injury or damage to the civilian population in
time of armed conflict. Our signature of the Conven-
tion reflects the general willingness of the United
States to adopt practical and reasonable provisions
concerning the conduct of military operations, for the
purpose of protecting noncombatants.’’.
(7) The United States also indicated that it had
supported procedures to enforce compliance, which
were omitted from the Convention’s final draft. The
342
HR 2401 EAS
United States stated: ‘‘The United States strongly
supported proposals by other countries during the
Conference to include special procedures for dealing
with compliance matters, and reserves the right to
propose at a later date additional procedures and
remedies, should this prove necessary, to deal with
such problems.’’.
(8) The lack of compliance procedures and other
weaknesses have significantly undermined the effec-
tiveness of the Landmine Protocol. Since it entered
into force on December 2, 1983, the number of civil-
ians maimed and killed by anti-personnel landmines
has multiplied.
(9) Since the moratorium on United States sales,
transfers and exports of anti-personnel landmines was
signed into law on October 23, 1992, the European
Parliament has issued a resolution calling for a five
year moratorium on sales, transfers and exports of
anti-personnel landmines, and the Government of
France has announced that it has ceased all sales,
transfers and exports of anti-personnel landmines.
(10) On December 2, 1993, ten years will have
elapsed since the 1980 Convention entered into force,
triggering the right of any party to request a United
Nations conference to review the Convention. Amend-
343
HR 2401 EAS
ments to the Landmine Protocol may be considered at
that time. A formal request has been made to the
United Nations Secretary General for a review con-
ference. With necessary preparations and consulta-
tions among governments, a review conference is not
expected to be convened before late 1994 or early
1995.
(11) The United States should continue to set an
example for other countries in such negotiations by
extending the moratorium on sales, transfers and ex-
ports of anti-personnel landmines for an additional
three years. A moratorium of this duration would ex-
tend the current prohibition on the sale, transfer and
export of anti-personnel landmines a sufficient time
to take into account the results of a United Nations
review conference.
(c) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—
(1) It shall be the policy of the United States to
seek verifiable international agreements prohibiting
the sale, transfer or export, and further limiting the
manufacture, possession and use of anti-personnel
landmines.
(2) It is the sense of the Congress that the Presi-
dent should submit the 1980 Convention on Certain
Conventional Weapons to the Senate for ratification.
344
HR 2401 EAS
Furthermore, the Administration should participate
in a United Nations conference to review the Land-
mine Protocol, and actively seek to negotiate under
United Nations auspices a modification of the Land-
mine Protocol, or another international agreement, to
prohibit the sale, transfer or export of anti-personnel
landmines, and to further limit their manufacture,
possession and use.
(d) MORATORIUM ON TRANSFERS OF ANTI-PERSONNEL
LANDMINES ABROAD.—For a period of three years begin-
ning on the date of enactment of this Act—
(1) no sale may be made or financed, no transfer
may be made, and no license for export may be is-
sued, under the Arms Export Control Act, with re-
spect to any anti-personnel landmine; and
(2) no assistance may be provided under the
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, with respect to the
provision of any anti-personnel landmine.
(e) DEFINITION.—For purposes of this section, the
term ‘‘anti-personnel landmine’’ means—
(1) any munition placed under, on, or near the
ground or other surface area, or delivered by artillery,
rocket, mortar, or similar means or dropped from an
aircraft and which is designed to be detonated or ex-
345
HR 2401 EAS
ploded by the presence, proximity, or contact of a per-
son;
(2) any device or material which is designed,
constructed, or adapted to kill or injure and which
functions unexpectedly when a person disturbs or ap-
proaches an apparently harmless object or performs
an apparently safe act;
(3) any manually-emplaced munition or device
designed to kill, injure, or damage and which is actu-
ated by remote control or automatically after a lapse
of time.
