Whereas it is in the interest of the United States and the
international community to promote security and co-
operation through democracy, human rights, and the rule
of law in the Middle East;
Whereas recent developments in the Middle East, including
the signing of the historic Declaration of Principles on
Interim Self-Government Arrangements, have given rise
to new hopes for a just and lasting peace and new oppor-
tunities for cooperation in the region;
• HCON 181 IH
Whereas the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Eu-
rope has, since 1975, contributed to positive develop-
ments in Europe by providing a comprehensive frame-

eled on the Conference on Security and Cooperation

(2) the Government of the United States, draw-
ing upon its extensive experience in the Conference

protects the Canadian chicken growers while severely
hurting both United States and Canadian processors and

Whereas the Canadian chicken supply management system
causes exceedingly high chicken prices and periodic sup-

(1) the United States, as part of the Uruguay
Round of multilateral trade negotiations, should ne-
gotiate a tariff-rate quota to replace the Canadian
chicken supply management system and the elimi-
nation of processed chicken from the Canadian Im-
port Control List;
(2) the United States should insist under such
a tariff-rate quota that the amount of chicken deter-
mined to be ‘‘within quota’’ be based on the total

amount of chicken imported into Canada in 1993
through both global and supplemental import
quotas;

nation, or at the minimum, the phase-out of the new
duties imposed by Canada on chicken imports in ac-
cordance with the terms of the United States-
Canada Free-Trade Agreement; and
(4) the United States should oppose any activ-
ity on the part of Canada which results in lost sales

Whereas the incumbent President and candidate Omar Bongo
governed a one-party state from 1968 to 1990, allowed

Whereas Gabon received approximately $140,000 in assist-

Whereas the United States supports the policy of ‘‘enlarge-
ment’’ of democracy; and
Whereas the December 1993 presidential election in Gabon
