are critical to the military capabilities of the Armed
Forces (regardless of the availability of such items or
technologies overseas) with respect to the countries
that—

that—
(1) it is in the national security interest of the
United States to promote military professionalism
(including an understanding of and respect for the
proper role of the military in a civilian-led demo-
cratic society), the effective management of defense re-
sources, the recognition of internationally recognized
human rights, and an effective military justice system
within the armed forces of allies of the United States
and of countries friendly to the United States;
(2) it is in the national security interest of the
United States to foster rapport, understanding, and
cooperation between the Armed Forces of the United
States and the armed forces of allies of the United
States and of countries friendly to the United States;
(3) the international military education and
training program is a low-cost method of promoting
military professionalism within the armed forces of
allies of the United States and of countries friendly
to the United States and fostering better relations be-
tween the Armed Forces of the United States and
those armed forces;
397
HR 1530 PP
(4) the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the
Warsaw Pact alliance and the spread of democracy in
the Western Hemisphere have created an opportunity
to promote the military professionalism of the armed
forces of the affected nations;
(5) funding for the international military edu-
cation and training program of the United States has
decreased dramatically in recent years;
(6) the decrease in funding for the international
military education and training program has re-
sulted in a major decrease in the participation of per-
sonnel from Asia, Latin America, and Africa in the
program;
(7) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
and the commanders in chief of the regional combat-
ant commands have consistently testified before con-
gressional committees that the international military
education and training program fosters cooperation
with and improves military management, civilian
control over the military forces, and respect for
human rights within foreign military forces; and
(8) the delegation by the President to the Sec-
retary of Defense of authority to perform functions re-
lating to the international military education and
398
HR 1530 PP
training program is appropriate and should be con-
tinued.

SEC. 1061. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON LIMITING THE PLAC-
ING OF UNITED STATES FORCES UNDER
UNITED NATIONS COMMAND OR CONTROL.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that—
(1) the President has made United Nations peace
operations a major component of the foreign and se-
curity policies of the United States;
(2) the President has committed United States
military personnel under United Nations operational
control to missions in Haiti, Croatia, and Macedonia
that could endanger those personnel;
(3) the President has committed the United
States to deploy as many as 25,000 military person-
nel to Bosnia-Herzegovina as peacekeepers under
United Nations command and control in the event
that the parties to that conflict reach a peace agree-
ment;
(4) although the President has insisted that he
will retain command of United States forces at all
times, in the past this has meant administrative con-
trol of United States forces only, while operational
control has been ceded to United Nations command-
ers, some of whom were foreign nationals;
403
HR 1530 PP
(5) the experience of United States forces partici-
pating in combined United States-United Nations op-
erations in Somalia, and in combined United Na-
tions-NATO operations in the former Yugoslavia,
demonstrate that prerequisites for effective military
operations such as unity of command and clarity of
mission have not been met by United Nations com-
mand and control arrangements; and
(6) despite the many deficiencies in the conduct
of United Nations peace operations, there may be oc-
casions when it is in the national security interests
of the United States to participate in such operations.
(b) POLICY.—It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the President should consult closely with
Congress regarding any United Nations peace oper-
ation that could involve United States combat forces,
and that such consultations should continue through-
out the duration of such activities;
(2) the President should consult with Congress
prior to a vote within the United Nations Security
Council on any resolution which would authorize, ex-
tend, or revise the mandates for such activities;
(3) in view of the complexity of United Nations
peace operations and the difficulty of achieving unity
of command and expeditious decisionmaking, the
404
HR 1530 PP
United States should participate in such operations
only when it is clearly in the national security inter-
est to do so;
(4) United States combat forces should be under
the operational control of qualified commanders and
should have clear and effective command and control
arrangements and rules of engagement (which do not
restrict their self-defense in any way) and clear and
unambiguous mission statements; and
(5) none of the Armed Forces of the United
States should be under the operational control of for-
eign nationals in United Nations peace enforcement
operations except in the most extraordinary cir-
cumstances.
(c) DEFINITIONS.—For purposes of this section—
(1) the term ‘‘United Nations peace enforcement
operations’’ means any international peace enforce-
ment or similar activity that is authorized by the
United Nations Security Council under chapter VII
of the Charter of the United Nations; and
(2) the term ‘‘United Nations peace operations’’
means any international peacekeeping, peacemaking,
peace enforcement, or similar activity that is author-
ized by the United Nations Security Council under
405
HR 1530 PP
chapter VI or VII of the Charter of the United Na-
tions.
SEC. 1062. SENSE OF SENATE ON PROTECTION OF UNITED
STATES FROM BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACK.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following find-
ings:
(1) The proliferation of weapons of mass destruc-
tion and ballistic missiles presents a threat to the en-
tire World.
(2) This threat was recognized by Secretary of
Defense William J. Perry in February 1995 in the
Annual Report to the President and the Congress
which states that ‘‘[b]eyond the five declared nuclear
weapons states, at least 20 other nations have ac-
quired or are attempting to acquire weapons of mass
destruction—nuclear, biological, or chemical weap-
ons—and the means to deliver them. In fact, in most
areas where United States forces could potentially be
engaged on a large scale, many of the most likely ad-
versaries already possess chemical and biological
weapons. Moreover, some of these same states appear
determined to acquire nuclear weapons.’’.
(3) At a summit in Moscow in May 1995, Presi-
dent Clinton and President Yeltsin commented on this
threat in a Joint Statement which recognizes
406
HR 1530 PP
‘‘ . . . the threat posed by worldwide proliferation of
missiles and missile technology and the necessity of
counteracting this threat . . . ’’.
(4) At least 25 countries may be developing
weapons of mass destruction and the delivery systems
for such weapons.
(5) At least 24 countries have chemical weapons
programs in various stages of research and develop-
ment.
(6) Approximately 10 countries are believed to
have biological weapons programs in various stages of
development.
(7) At least 10 countries are reportedly interested
in the development of nuclear weapons.
(8) Several countries recognize that weapons of
mass destruction and missiles increase their ability to
deter, coerce, or otherwise threaten the United States.
Saddam Hussein recognized this when he stated, on
May 8, 1990, that ‘‘[o]ur missiles cannot reach Wash-
ington. If they could reach Washington, we would
strike it if the need arose.’’.
(9) International regimes like the Non-Prolifera-
tion Treaty, the Biological Weapons Convention, and
the Missile Technology Control Regime, while effec-
tive, cannot by themselves halt the spread of weapons
407
HR 1530 PP
and technology. On January 10, 1995, Director of
Central Intelligence, James Woolsey, said with regard
to Russia that ‘‘ . . . we are particularly concerned
with the safety of nuclear, chemical, and biological
materials as well as highly enriched uranium or plu-
tonium, although I want to stress that this is a global
problem. For example, highly enriched uranium was
recently stolen from South Africa, and last month
Czech authorities recovered three kilograms of 87.8
percent-enriched HEU in the Czech Republic—the
largest seizure of near-weapons grade material to date
outside the Former Soviet Union.’’.
(10) The possession of weapons of mass destruc-
tion and missiles by developing countries threatens
our friends, allies, and forces abroad and will ulti-
mately threaten the United States directly. On August
11, 1994, Deputy Secretary of Defense John Deutch
said that ‘‘[i]f the North Koreans field the Taepo
Dong 2 missile, Guam, Alaska, and parts of Hawaii
would potentially be at risk.’’.
(11) The end of the Cold War has changed the
strategic environment facing and between the United
States and Russia. That the Clinton Administration
believes the environment to have changed was made
clear by Secretary of Defense William J. Perry on
408
HR 1530 PP

SEC. 1094. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING ETHICS COMMIT-
TEE INVESTIGATION.
(a) The Senate finds that—
(1) the Senate Select Committee on Ethics has a
thirty-one year tradition of handling investigations of
official misconduct in a bipartisan, fair and profes-
sional manner;
(2) the Ethics Committee, to ensure fairness to
all parties in any investigation, must conduct its re-
sponsibilities strictly according to established proce-
dure and free from outside interference;
(3) the rights of all parties to bring an ethics
complaint against a member, officer, or employee of
the Senate are protected by the official rules and
precedents of the Senate and the Ethics Committee;
(4) any Senator responding to a complaint be-
fore the Ethics Committee deserves a fair and non-
partisan hearing according to the rules of the Ethics
Committee;
(5) the rights of all parties in an investigation—
both the individuals who bring a complaint or testify
against a Senator, and any Senator charged with an
ethics violation—can only be protected by strict ad-
herence to the established rules and procedures of the
ethics process;
444
HR 1530 PP
(6) the integrity of the Senate and the integrity
of the Ethics Committee rest on the continued adher-
ence to precedents and rules, derived from the Con-
stitution; and,
(7) the Senate as a whole has never intervened
in any ongoing Senate Ethics Committee investiga-
tion, and has considered matters before that Commit-
tee only after the Committee has submitted a report
and recommendations to the Senate;
(b) Therefore, it is the Sense of the Senate that the
Select committee on Ethics should not, in the case of Sen-
ator Robert Packwood of Oregon, deviate from its cus-
tomary and standard procedure, and should, prior to the
Senate’s final resolution of the case, follow whatever proce-
dures it deems necessary and appropriate to provide a full

case.

end of the period of the United States morato-
rium under subparagraph (A), that the govern-
ments of other nations are implementing mora-

atorium for such additional period as the Presi-
dent considers appropriate.

SEC. 1099F. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON CHEMICAL WEAP-
ONS CONVENTION AND START II TREATY
RATIFICATION.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following find-
ings:
(1) Proliferation of chemical or nuclear weapons
materials poses a danger to United States national
security, and the threat or use of such materials by
terrorists would directly threaten United States citi-
zens at home and abroad.
(2) The Chemical Weapons Convention nego-
tiated and signed by President Bush would make it
more difficult for would-be proliferators, including
terrorists, to acquire or use chemical weapons, if rati-
fied and fully implemented as signed, by all signato-
ries.
