TITLE VI—REORGANIZATION OF
UNITED STATES EXPORT PRO-
MOTION AND TRADE ACTIVI-
TIES
SEC. 601. PLAN FOR REORGANIZATION OF UNITED STATES
EXPORT PROMOTION AND TRADE ACTIVI-
TIES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) Supporting American businesses overseas
and assisting United States exporters to identify
market opportunities is of increasing importance to
America’s economic health and competitiveness, and
to the well-being of American workers.
(2) At least 18 different government-sponsored
organizations or agencies, including the Department
of State, spend over $3,300,000,000 to provide sup-
port to American exporters and international busi-
nesses. In the past, poor coordination among these
organizations and a lack of accessibility often hin-
dered the effectiveness of the Government’s trade
promotion activities.
(3) Recent efforts to improve coordination be-
tween many of these organizations and to increase
their availability to exporters around the country
were begun through the Trade Promotion Coordina-
tion Council. These efforts appear to have generated
some improvement in the Government’s trade pro-
motion capabilities.
(4) Broader governmentwide reform efforts,
such as the reorganization of the Department of
State, and future funding questions currently being
addressed in Congress may affect different trade
promotion organizations to varying degrees.
(b) REPORT REQUIRED.—In order to fully assess the
organizational structure, capability, and spending levels of
United States Government trade promotion organizations,
the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee, not later
than March 1, 1996, shall submit to the Committee on
International Relations of the House of Representatives,
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, and
to other appropriate committees of jurisdiction, a report
detailing what steps are being taken to improve accessibil-
ity and coordination among all trade promotion organiza-
tions and agencies, the relationship between such agencies
and the Department of State, what additional measures
should be taken to further improve the efficiency of and
reduce duplication among these organizations and agen-
cies, and any suggested legislative actions that would fur-
ther improve the Department of State and other agencies
export and trade promotion activities.
(c) CONTENT OF REPORT.—The report required by
subsection (b) shall—
(1) identify the name, number, function, and
budget of all Government organizations or agencies
with some responsibility for supporting, advancing,
or promoting international trade or United States
exports;
(2) assess the amount of exports directly gen-
erated by the activities of each organization or agen-
cy;
(3) describe the overall impact of the Govern-
ment’s trade and export promotion programs on in-
creasing exports and overseas market share;
(4) identify areas where increased cooperation
and interoperability would improve United States ex-
port promotion efforts;
(5) identify areas where greater efficiencies can
be achieved through the elimination of duplication
among the organizations and agencies included in
paragraph (1);
(6) identify ways to improve the audit and ac-
countability mechanisms for each organization or
agency, with particular emphasis on ensuring inde-
pendent oversight capabilities for each organization;
(7) assess the trade and export promotion ac-
tivities of the major trade partners and competitors
of the United States, including amounts of tied aid
and export subsidization provided by the govern-
ments of those trade partners and competitors; and
(8) provide a plan to reorganize the United
States trade and export promotion organizations and
agencies, with legislative requirements if necessary,
in order to more efficiently promote trade, increase
organizational assessability, organize bureaucratic
effort, and expend public resources in support of
American exporters and international business.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:

abide by its own constitutional guarantee of auton-
omy for Tibetans.
(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
143
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.

China denies Tibetans their fundamental human
rights, as reported in the Department of State’s
Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for
1995.

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
of the People’s Republic of China to enter into sub-
stantive negotiations on these matters with the Dalai
Lama or his representative.
144
(6) The Dalai Lama has repeatedly stated his
willingness to begin substantive negotiations without
preconditions.

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.

(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the
‘‘Bosnia and Herzegovina Self-Defense Act’’.
(b) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The Serbian aggression against Bosnia and
Herzegovina continues into its third year, the vio-
182
lence has escalated and become widespread, and eth-
nic cleansing by Serbs has been renewed.
(2) It has been almost one year since the
Bosnian Government unconditionally, and on time,
accepted the ‘‘Contact Group’’ plan, which the Serb
forces have rejected.
(3) The United Nations has failed to protect its
declared safe havens from continuing and relentless
Serbian aggression, and has failed to order North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) air strikes
against Serb forces in retaliation for their attacks on
Sarajevo, despite calls from its own field commander
to do so.
(4) The United Nations Security Council has
not considered a resolution providing for the multi-
lateral termination of the arms embargo against
Bosnia and Herzegovina, which would be the pre-
ferred course of action to allow that country to de-
fend itself.
(5) The United Nations Security Council has
not taken measures necessary to maintain inter-
national 
peace 
and 
security 
in 
Bosnia
