(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.
129
(2) The Government of the People’s Republic of
China is responsible for the destruction of much of
Tibet’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 Chi-
nese immigrants into Tibet, including those areas in-
corporated 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
rights, as reported in the Department of State’s
Country 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
130
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:
(1) The United States-Democratic People’s Re-
public of Korea Agreed Framework (‘‘Agreed
Framework’’), entered into on October 21, 1994, be-
tween the United States and North Korea, requires
North Korea to stop and eventually dismantle its
graphite-moderated nuclear reactor program and re-
lated facilities, and comply fully with its obligations
under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nu-
clear Weapons, in exchange for alternative energy
sources, including interim supplies of bunker 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
155
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
specific 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
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 di-
version of United States heavy fuel oil in apparent
contravention of the agreed purpose of the interim
fuel deliveries, the refusal to accept light water reac-
tors from the Republic of Korea, the harsh denun-
ciations of the Government of the Republic of Korea,
and other actions contrary to the commitment by
North Korea to engage in a dialogue with such Gov-
156
ernment, 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
United 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 pur-
suant to the implementation of the United States-Demo-
cratic People’s Republic of Korea Agreed Framework (in
this joint resolution referred to as the ‘‘Agreed Frame-
work’’), entered into on 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
157
in North Korea, including special inspections of sus-
pected nuclear waste sites, before any nuclear com-
ponents 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
described in the Agreed Framework if North Korea
attempts to reload its existing 5 megawatt nuclear
reactor or resumes construction of nuclear facilities
other than those permitted to be built under the
Agreed Framework.
SEC. 2643. ROLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA UNDER THE
AGREED FRAMEWORK.
It is further the sense of the Congress that the Re-
public of Korea should play the central role in the project
to provide light water reactors to North Korea under the
Agreed Framework.
158
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 rela-
tions 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 Gov-
ernment of the Republic of Korea;
(2) 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-
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 intermedi-
ate range ballistic missile system; and
159
(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.
Funds authorized to be appropriated or appropriated
under any provision of law may be used to provide assist-
ance to North Korea or the Korean Peninsula Energy De-
velopment Organization only if such assistance is provided
under the same terms and conditions that govern the pro-
vision of assistance to North Korea or such organization
under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C.
2151 et seq.) including, inter alia—
(1) the requirement that the congressional com-
mittees specified in section 634A of such Act (22
U.S.C. 2394) be notified pursuant to that section in
the case of any reprogramming of funds; and
(2) the requirement that a special authority,
such as section 614 of such Act, be used to waive
the application of provisions of law subject to such
special authority that would otherwise restrict or
prohibit the provision of such assistance.
160
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 encour-
age the United Nations Security Council to—
(1) impose an international arms embargo on
Burma;
(2) affirm support for human rights and the
protection of all Karen, Karenni, and other minori-
ties in Burma;
(3) condemn Burmese officials responsible for
crimes against humanity;
(4) take steps to encourage multilateral assist-
ance programs for refugees from Burma in Thailand
and India; and
(5) reduce United Nations activities in Burma,
including UNDP (United Nations Development Pro-
gram), UNICEF (United Nations Childrens Fund),
UNFPA (United Nations Family Planning Agency),
World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agri-
culture Organization (FAO), and UNIDCP (United
Nations International Drug Control Program) activi-
ties.
161
(b) REDUCTION IN DIPLOMATIC PRESENCE.—It is
the sense of the Congress that the President should reduce
the diplomatic presence of the United States in Burma
by reducing the total number of the members of the For-
eign Service stationed in Burma on the date of enactment
of this Act.
TITLE XXVII—CONGRESSIONAL

by the United States to the affairs of this Hemisphere and
