(most-favored-nation treatment) to the products of Mongolia.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that Mongolia—

since 1991 and has been found to be in full compli-
ance with the freedom of emigration requirements
under title IV of the Trade Act of 1974;
(2) has, since ending its nearly 70 years of de-
pendence on the former Soviet Union, made remark-
able progress in establishing a democratic political
system and creating a free-market economic system;
(3) has recently held its third elections under
its new constitution, resulting in a parliamentary
majority for the coalition of democratic opposition
parties and a peaceable transfer of power to the new
government;
(4) has concluded a bilateral trade treaty with
the United States in 1991, and a bilateral invest-
ment treaty in 1994;
(5) has acceded to the Agreement Establishing
the World Trade Organization, and extension of un-
conditional most-favored-nation treatment to the
products of Mongolia would enable the United States
to avail itself of all rights under the World Trade
Organization with respect to Mongolia; and
(6) has demonstrated a strong desire to build
friendly relationships and to cooperate fully with the
United States on trade matters.
SEC. 2. TERMINATION OF APPLICATION OF TITLE IV OF
THE TRADE ACT OF 1974 TO MONGOLIA.

SIONS OF NONDISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT.—Notwith-
standing any provision of title IV of the Trade Act of 1974

apply to Mongolia; and
(2) after making a determination under para-
graph (1) with respect to Mongolia, proclaim the ex-
tension of nondiscriminatory treatment (most-fa-
vored-nation treatment) to the products of that
country.
(b) TERMINATION OF APPLICATION OF TITLE IV.—
On or after the effective date of the extension under sub-
section (a)(2) of nondiscriminatory treatment to the prod-
