(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) In 1981, a secret Honduran army death
squad known as Battalion 316 was created. During
the 1980’s Battalion 316 engaged in a campaign of
systematically kidnapping, torturing and murdering
suspected subversives. Victims included Honduran
students, teachers, labor leaders and journalists. In
1993 there were reportedly 184 unsolved cases of per-
sons who were allegedly ‘‘disappeared’’. They are pre-
sumed dead.
(2) At the time, Administration officials were
aware of the activities of Battalion 316, but in its
1983 human rights report the State Department stat-
ed that ‘‘There are no political prisoners in Hon-
duras’’.
(b) DECLASSIFICATION
OF DOCUMENTS.—It is the
sense of the Congress that the President should order the
expedited declassification of any documents in the posses-
sion of the United States Government pertaining to persons
who allegedly ‘‘disappeared’’ in Honduras, and promptly
make such documents available to Honduran authorities
who are seeking to determine the fate of these individuals.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The Government of Guatemala, under Presi-
dent De Leon Carpio, has made significant progress
towards negotiating an end to Guatemala’s civil con-
flict which has resulted in numerous human rights
violations, claimed tens of thousands of lives and im-
peded economic development in that country;
(2) President De Leon Carpio has taken steps to
improve human rights, including his support for the
United Nations mission for the verification of human
HR 1868 EAS
rights and of compliance with the commitments of the
comprehensive agreement of human rights in Guate-
mala (Minugua) and his recent decision to abolish the
military commissioners, but his efforts to bring
human rights violators to justice have been impeded
by certain members of the Guatemalan armed forces;
(3) Despite numerous appeals by the families of
victims of human rights abuses, human rights organi-
zations and Members of the United States Congress,
there has been minimal progress towards resolving
specific human rights cases including cases involving
American citizens or their relatives;
(4) President De Leon Carpio deserves the sup-
port of the United States in his efforts to resolve Gua-
temala’s conflict peacefully, to support Democratic
elections, and to improve respect for human rights.
(b) LIMITATIONS.—Notwithstanding any other provi-
sions of law—
(1) No assistance in this act or any other act
shall be made available to the Guatemalan Armed
Forces or the URNG;
(2) No sales of defense articles or services shall
be licensed or approved for Guatemala for the Armed
Forces or URNG; and
HR 1868 EAS
(3) No visas shall be granted for any member of
the Guatemalan Armed Forces or the URNG sus-
pected of participating in or ordering any violation
of human rights or of seeking to coverup or otherwise
thwart the investigation of such acts.
(c) CERTIFICATION.—The limitations contained in
subsection (b) shall cease to apply when the President cer-
tifies to the Committee on Appropriations and the Commit-
tee on Foreign Relations that—
(1) The Guatemalan Armed Forces and the
URNG are fully cooperating with efforts—
(A) By the family of United States citizen

or coverup of the murder;
(B) The October 1994 murders of Roderico

(C) By Jennifer Harbury to exhume the
body of her husband, Efrain Bamaca Velasquez;
and
(D) By human rights organizations and the
Guatemalan Attorney General to investigate and
bring to justice those involved in the prominent
human rights cases committed by both sides to
the conflict, including those cases enumerated in
HR 1868 EAS
the April 7, 1995 letter to President Clinton by
twelve Members of the United States Senate.
(2) The Guatemalan Government and Armed
Forces are complying with the recommendations in
Minugua’s first and second reports, particularly those
related to the investigation and prosecution of human
rights cases.
(3) The United States Representative to the
United Nations Human Rights Commission has con-
sulted with Representatives of other member States to
determine whether respect for human rights would be
enhanced by the appointment of a special United Na-
tions Rapporteur for Guatemala.

SEC. 588. (a) The Senate finds the following:
(1) Since March 1995 the Peruvian Government
has engaged in an aggressive air interdiction pro-
gram to prevent narcotics traffickers from violating
Peruvian airspace for the purpose of transporting il-
legal narcotics to Colombia.
(2) As a result of the Peruvian interdiction pro-
gram, the number of illicit flights detected in recent
months has dropped to its lowest level in over three
years and the price of transporting narcotics out of
Peru has risen by as much as 500 percent.
HR 1868 EAS
(3) The inability of the traffickers to move co-
caine base out of Peru has produced a glut of coca
leaf and cocaine base in Peru with a resulting 50 per-
cent decline in the price.
(4) The Peruvian Government’s ability to sus-
tain the success of its interdiction program is depend-
ent on the maintenance and upkeep of a very limited
number of aircraft.
(5) As a result of the internal Peruvian political
situation and the conflict earlier this year between
Peru and Ecuador, the United States suspended mili-
tary transfers to Peru.
(6) As much as 80 percent of the cocaine that
reaches the United States comes from coca grown in
Peru and the disruption of the air corridor between
Peru and Colombia is important to United States
counter narcotics efforts.
(7) The situations which led to the cutoff of mili-
tary equipment for the air interdiction effort have
been satisfactorily resolved or have progressed to a
point where the cutoff of this military equipment is
no longer in the interest of the United States.
(b) It is the sense of the Senate that the President
should, as soon as possible, provide limited spare parts and
other military equipment to the Government of Peru in sup-
HR 1868 EAS
port of Peruvian Air Force efforts to monitor, intercept and
interdict aircraft and other forms of transportation engaged
in illegal narcotics trafficking activities.

(2) The United States-Hong Kong Policy Act de-

CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS REVIEW
SEC. 594. (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the fol-
lowing findings:
(1) On September 26, 1994, the President de-
clared that it is a goal of the United States to eventu-
ally eliminate antipersonnel landmines.
(2) On December 15, 1994, the United Nations
General Assembly adopted a resolution sponsored by
HR 1868 EAS
the United States which called for international ef-
forts to eliminate antipersonnel landmines.
(3) According to the Department of State, there
are 
an 
estimated 
80,000,000 
to 
110,000,000
unexploded landmines in 62 countries.
(4) Antipersonnel landmines are routinely used
against civilian populations and kill and maim an
estimated 70 people each day, or 26,000 people each
year.
(5) The Secretary of State has noted that land-
mines are ‘‘slow-motion weapons of mass destruc-
tion’’.
(6) There are hundreds of varieties of anti-
personnel landmines, from a simple type available at
a cost of only two dollars to the more complex self-
destructing type, and all landmines of whatever vari-
ety kill and maim civilians, as well as combatants,
indiscriminately.
(b) CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS CONVENTION REVIEW.—
It is the sense of Congress that, at the United Nations con-
ference to review the 1980 Conventional Weapons Conven-
tion, including Protocol II on landmines, that is to be held
from September 25 to October 13, 1995, the President
should actively support proposals to modify Protocol II that
HR 1868 EAS
would implement as rapidly as possible the United States
goal of eventually eliminating antipersonnel landmines.
(c) MORATORIUM ON USE OF ANTIPERSONNEL LAND-
MINES.—(1) UNITED STATES MORATORIUM.—(A) For a pe-
riod of one year beginning three years after the date of the
enactment of this Act, the United States shall not use anti-
personnel landmines except along internationally recog-
nized national borders or in demilitarized zones within a
perimeter marked area that is monitored by military per-
sonnel and protected by adequate means to ensure the exclu-
sion of civilians.
(B) If the President determines, before the end of the
one year period of the United States moratorium under sub-
paragraph (A), that the governments of other nations are
implementing moratoria on use of antipersonnel landmines
similar to the United States moratorium, the President
may extend the period of the United States moratorium for
such additional period as the President considers appro-
priate.
(2) OTHER NATIONS.—It is the sense of Congress that
the President should actively encourage the governments of
other nations to join the United States in solving the global
landmine crisis by implementing moratoria on use of anti-
personnel landmines similar to the United States morato-
HR 1868 EAS
rium as a step toward the elimination of antipersonnel
landmines.
(d) ANTIPERSONNEL LANDMINE EXPORTS.—It is the
sense of Congress that, consistent with the United States
moratorium on exports of antipersonnel landmines and in
order to further discourage the global proliferation of anti-
personnel landmines, the United States Government should
not sell, license for export, or otherwise transfer defense arti-
cles and services to any foreign government which, as deter-
mined by the President, sells, exports, or otherwise transfers
antipersonnel landmines.

TITLE VI—MIDDLE EAST PEACE FACILITATION
ACT OF 1995
SHORT TITLE
SEC. 601. This title may be cited as the ‘‘Middle East
Peace Facilitation Act of 1995’’.
FINDINGS
SEC. 602. The Congress finds that—
(1) the Palestine Liberation Organization (here-
after the ‘‘P.L.O.’’) has recognized the State of Israel’s
right to exist in peace and security; accepted United
Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338;
committed itself to the peace process and peaceful co-
HR 1868 EAS
existence with Israel, free from violence and all other
acts which endanger peace and stability; and assumed
responsibility over all P.L.O. elements and personnel
in order to assure their compliance, prevent viola-
tions, and discipline violators;
(2) Israel has recognized the P.L.O. as the rep-
resentative of the Palestinian people;
(3) Israel and the P.L.O. signed a Declaration of
Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements
(hereafter the ‘‘Declaration of Principles’’) on Sep-
tember 13, 1993 at the White House;
(4) Israel and the P.L.O. signed an Agreement
on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area (hereafter the
‘‘Gaza-Jericho Agreement’’) on May 4, 1994 which es-
tablished a Palestinian Authority for the Gaza and
Jericho areas;
(5) Israel and the P.L.O. signed an Agreement
on Preparatory Transfer of Powers and Responsibil-
ities (hereafter the ‘‘Early Empowerment Agreement’’)
on August 29, 1994 which provided for the transfer
to the Palestinian Authority of certain powers and re-
sponsibilities in the West Bank outside of the Jericho
Area;
(6) under the terms of the Declaration of Prin-
ciples, the Gaza-Jericho Agreement and the Early
HR 1868 EAS
Empowerment Agreement, the powers and responsibil-
ities of the Palestinian Authority are to be assumed
by an elected Palestinian Council with jurisdiction in
the West Bank and Gaza Strip in accordance with
the Interim Agreement to be concluded between Israel
and the P.L.O.;
(7) permanent status negotiations relating to the
West Bank and Gaza Strip are scheduled to begin by
May 1996;
(8) the Congress has, since the conclusion of the
Declaration of Principles and the P.L.O.’s renunci-
ation of terrorism, provided authorities to the Presi-
dent to suspend certain statutory restrictions relating
to the P.L.O., subject to Presidential certifications
that the P.L.O. has continued to abide by commit-
ments made in and in connection with or resulting
from the good faith implementation of, the Declara-
tion of Principles;
(9) the P.L.O. commitments relevant to Presi-
dential certifications have included commitments to
renounce and condemn terrorism, to submit to the
Palestinian National Council for formal approval the
necessary changes to those articles of the Palestinian
Covenant which call for Israel’s destruction, and to
HR 1868 EAS
prevent acts of terrorism and hostilities against Is-
rael; and
(10) the President, in exercising the aforemen-
tioned authorities, has certified to the Congress on
four occasions that the P.L.O. was abiding by its rel-
evant commitments.
SENSE OF CONGRESS
SEC. 603. It is the sense of the Congress that although
the P.L.O. has recently shown improvement in its efforts
to fulfill its commitments, it must do far more to dem-
onstrate an irrevocable denunciation of terrorism and en-
sure a peaceful settlement of the Middle East dispute, and
in particular it must—
(1) submit to the Palestine National Council for
formal approval the necessary changes to those arti-
cles of the Palestinian National Covenant which call
for Israel’s destruction;
(2) make greater efforts to pre-empt acts of ter-
ror, to discipline violators and to contribute to stem-
ming the violence that has resulted in the deaths of
123 Israeli citizens since the signing of the Declara-
tion of Principles;
(3) prohibit participation in its activities and in
the Palestinian Authority and its successors by any
groups or individuals which continue to promote and
commit acts of terrorism;
HR 1868 EAS
(4) cease all anti-Israel rhetoric, which poten-
tially undermines the peace process;
(5) confiscate all unlicensed weapons and restrict
the issuance of licenses to those with legitimate need;
(6) transfer and cooperate in transfer proceed-
ings relating to any person accused by Israel to acts
of terrorism; and

TITLE 
VII—NATO 
PARTICIPA-
TION ACT AMENDMENTS OF
1995
SECTION 701. SHORT TITLE.
This title may be cited as the ‘‘NATO Participation
Act Amendments of 1995’’.
SEC. 702. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Orga-
nization (NATO) has played an essential role in
guaranteeing the security, freedom, and prosperity of
the United States and its partners in the Alliance.
(2) NATO has expanded its membership on three
different occasions since 1949.
(3) The sustained commitment of the member
countries of NATO to mutual defense of their security
ultimately made possible the democratic trans-
formation in Central and Eastern Europe and the de-
mise of the Soviet Union.
(4) NATO was designed to be and remains a de-
fensive military organization whose members have
never contemplated the use of, or used, military force
to expand the borders of its member states.
