Sense of Senate on special immigrant visa program for Afghan allies It is the sense of the Senate that— (1) the special immigrant visa program for Afghan allies is critical to the mission in Afghanistan and the long-term interests of the United States; (2) maintaining a robust special immigrant visa program for Afghan allies is necessary to support United States Government personnel in Afghanistan who need translation, interpretation, security, and other services; (3) Afghan allies routinely risk their lives to assist United States military and diplomatic personnel; (4) honoring the commitments made to Afghan allies with respect to the special immigrant visa program is essential to ensuring— (A) the continued service and safety of such allies; and (B) the willingness of other like-minded individuals to provide similar services in any future contingency; (5) the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 ( 8 U.S.C. 1101 note) states that all Government-controlled processing of applications for special immigrant visas under that Act should be completed not later than 9 months after the date on which an eligible alien submits all required materials to complete an application for such visa ; (6) any backlog in processing special immigrant visa applications should be addressed as quickly as possible so as to honor the United States commitment to Afghan allies as soon as possible; (7) failure to process such applications in an expeditious manner puts lives at risk and jeopardizes a critical element of support to United States operations in Afghanistan; and (8) to prevent harm to the operations of the United States Government in Afghanistan, additional visas should be made available to principal aliens who are eligible for special immigrant status under that Act. 1215.

(b) Report (1) In general Not later than September 1, 2020, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representative a report that includes— (A) an assessment of— (i) the external threat posed by extremist groups operating in Afghanistan to the United States homeland and the homelands of United States allies; (ii) the impact of cessation of United States counterterrorism activities on the size, strength, and external aims of such groups; and (iii) the international financial support the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces requires in order to maintain current operational capabilities, including force cohesion and combat effectiveness; (B) a plan for the orderly transition of all security-related tasks currently undertaken by the Armed Forces of the United States in support of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces to Afghanistan, including— (i) precision targeting of Afghanistan-based terrorists; (ii) combat-enabler support, such as artillery and aviation assets; and (iii) noncombat-enabler support, such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, medical evacuation, and contractor logistic support; and (C) an update on the status of any United States citizens detained in Afghanistan, and an overview of Administration efforts to secure their release.

Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The Joint Declaration and the Basic Law clarify certain obligations and promises that the Government of China has made with respect to the future of Hong Kong. (2) The obligations of the Government of China under the Joint Declaration were codified in a legally-binding treaty, signed by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and registered with the United Nations. (3) The obligations of the Government of China under the Basic Law originate from the Joint Declaration, were passed into the domestic law of China by the National People’s Congress, and are widely considered by citizens of Hong Kong as part of the de facto legal constitution of Hong Kong. (4) Foremost among the obligations of the Government of China to Hong Kong is the promise that, pursuant to Paragraph 3b of the Joint Declaration, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will enjoy a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defence affairs which are the responsibilities of the Central People's Government . (5) The obligation specified in Paragraph 3b of the Joint Declaration is referenced, reinforced, and extrapolated on in several portions of the Basic Law, including Articles 2, 12, 13, 14, and 22. (6) Article 22 of the Basic Law establishes that No department of the Central People’s Government and no province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government may interfere in the affairs which the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region administers on its own in accordance with this Law. .

(B) On multiple occasions, the Government of Hong Kong, at the advice of the Government of China, is suspected to have not allowed persons entry into Hong Kong allegedly because of their support for democracy and human rights in Hong Kong and China. (C) The Liaison Office of China in Hong Kong has, despite restrictions on interference in the affairs of Hong Kong as detailed in Article 22 of the Basic Law— (i) openly expressed support for candidates in Hong Kong for Chief Executive and Legislative Council; (ii) expressed views on various policies for the Government of Hong Kong and other internal matters relating to Hong Kong; and (iii) on April 17, 2020, asserted that both the Liaison Office of China in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council have the right to exercise supervision … on affairs regarding Hong Kong and the mainland, in order to ensure correct implementation of the Basic Law . (D) The National People’s Congress has passed laws requiring Hong Kong to pass laws banning disrespectful treatment of the national flag and national anthem of China. (E) The State Council of China released a white paper on June 10, 2014, that stressed the comprehensive jurisdiction of the Government of China over Hong Kong and indicated that Hong Kong must be governed by patriots . (F) The Government of China has directed operatives to kidnap and bring to the mainland, or is otherwise responsible for the kidnapping of, residents of Hong Kong, including businessman Xiao Jianhua and bookseller Gui Minhai. (G) The Government of Hong Kong, acting with the support of the Government of China, introduced an extradition bill that would have permitted the Government of China to request and enforce extradition requests for any individual present in Hong Kong, regardless of the legality of the request or the degree to which it compromised the judicial independence of Hong Kong. (H) The spokesman for the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress said, Whether Hong Kong’s laws are consistent with the Basic Law can only be judged and decided by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee.

(14) Articles 45 and 68 of the Basic Law assert that the selection of Chief Executive and all members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong should be by universal suffrage. .

(C) The decision by the National People’s Congress on August 31, 2014, which placed limits on the nomination process for the Chief Executive of Hong Kong as a condition for adoption of universal suffrage. (D) On November 7, 2016, the National People’s Congress interpreted Article 104 of the Basic Law in such a way to disqualify 6 elected members of the Legislative Council. (E) In 2018, the Government of Hong Kong banned the Hong Kong National Party and blocked the candidacy of pro-democracy candidates. (16) The ways in which the Government of China, at times with the support of a subservient Government of Hong Kong, has acted in contravention of its obligations under the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law, as set forth in this section, are deeply concerning to the people of Hong Kong, the United States, and members of the international community who support the autonomy of Hong Kong. 1704. Sense of Congress regarding Hong Kong It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the United States continues to uphold the principles and policy established in the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 ( 22 U.S.C. 5701 et seq.) and the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 ( Public Law 116–76 ; 22 U.S.C. 5701 note), which remain consistent with China’s obligations under the Joint Declaration and certain promulgated objectives under the Basic Law, including that— (A) as set forth in section 101(1) of the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 ( 22 U.S.C. 5711(1) ), The United States should play an active role, before, on, and after July 1, 1997, in maintaining Hong Kong's confidence and prosperity, Hong Kong's role as an international financial center, and the mutually beneficial ties between the people of the United States and the people of Hong Kong. ; and (B) as set forth in section 2(5) of the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 ( 22 U.S.C. 5701(5) ), Support for democratization is a fundamental principle of United States foreign policy. As such, it naturally applies to United States policy toward Hong Kong. This will remain equally true after June 30, 1997. ; (2) although the United States recognizes that, under the Joint Declaration, the Government of China resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong with effect on 1 July 1997 , the United States supports the autonomy of Hong Kong in furtherance of the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 and the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 and advances the desire of the people of Hong Kong to continue the one country, two systems regime, in addition to other obligations promulgated by China under the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law; (3) in order to support the benefits and protections that Hong Kong has been afforded by the Government of China under the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law, the United States should establish a clear and unambiguous set of penalties with respect to foreign persons determined by the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to be involved in the contravention of the obligations of China under the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law and the financial institutions transacting with those foreign persons; (4) the Secretary of State should provide an unclassified assessment of the reason for imposition of certain economic penalties on entities, so as to permit a clear path for the removal of economic penalties if the sanctioned behavior is reversed and verified by the Secretary of State; (5) relevant Federal agencies should establish a multilateral sanctions regime with respect to foreign persons involved in the contravention of the obligations of China under the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law; and (6) in addition to the penalties on foreign persons, and financial institutions transacting with those foreign persons, for the contravention of the obligations of China under the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law, the United States should take steps, in a time of crisis, to assist permanent residents of Hong Kong who are persecuted or fear persecution as a result of the contravention by China of its obligations under the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law to become eligible to obtain lawful entry into the United States. 1705.

Sense of the Senate on extension of limitations on importation of uranium from Russian Federation It is the sense of the Senate that— (1) a secure nuclear fuel supply chain is essential to the economic and national security of the United States; (2) the United States should— (A) expeditiously complete negotiation of an extension of the Agreement Suspending the Antidumping Investigation on Uranium from the Russian Federation (commonly referred to as the Russian Suspension Agreement ); or (B) if an agreement to extend the Russian Suspension Agreement cannot be reached, complete the antidumping investigation under title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 ( 19 U.S.C. 1671 et seq.) with respect to imports of uranium from the Russian Federation— (i) to avoid unfair trade in uranium and maintain a nuclear fuel supply chain in the United States, consistent with the national security and nonproliferation goals of the United States; and (ii) to protect the United States nuclear fuel supply chain from the continued manipulation of the global and United States uranium markets by the Russian Federation and Russian-influenced competitors; (3) a renegotiated, long-term extension of the Russian Suspension Agreement can prevent adversaries of the United States from monopolizing the nuclear fuel supply chain; (4) as was done in 2008, upon completion of a new negotiated long-term extension of the Russian Suspension Agreement, Congress should enact legislation to codify the terms of extension into law to ensure long-term stability for the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain; and (5) if the negotiations to extend the Russian Suspension Agreement prove unsuccessful, Congress should be prepared to enact legislation to prevent the manipulation by the Russian Federation of global uranium markets and potential domination by the Russian Federation of the United States uranium market.

(b) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) On August 24, 1991, Ukraine became a free and independent country after declaring its independence from the Soviet Union. (2) The Russian Federation is required to respect the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine through its signed commitments to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the 1975 Helsinki Accords, and the Charter of the United Nations. (3) On February 8, 1994, Ukraine was among the first post-Soviet states to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Partnership for Peace, and Ukraine subsequently participated in numerous North Atlantic Treaty Organization-led security assistance, peacekeeping, counterterror, and maritime initiatives. (4) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Ukraine have continuously deepened their cooperation through the establishment of— (A) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization-Ukraine Charter on a Distinctive Partnership and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization-Ukraine Commission in 1997; (B) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization-Ukraine Joint Working Group on Defense Reform in 1998; and (C) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization-Ukraine Action Plan in 2002. (5) In the Bucharest Summit Declaration of April 2008, heads of state and governments of North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries declared, NATO welcomes Ukraine’s and Georgia’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations for membership in NATO. We agreed today that these countries will become members of NATO. . (6) Beginning on November 21, 2013, and ending on February 22, 2014, during a period that became known as the Revolution of Dignity, the people of Ukraine peacefully protested the decision of then President Viktor Yanukovych to suspend the signing of the Ukraine-European Union Association Agreement, resulting in the unanimous removal from office of Yanukovych by the Verkhovna Rada. (7) On May 25, 2014, Peter Poroshenko was elected democratically to become the President of Ukraine based on a pro-European Union and pro-North Atlantic Treaty Organization platform, which laid the foundation for progress on the European Union Association Agreement. (8) In response to Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity, the Russian Federation launched an overt and covert military campaign against Ukraine, illegally occupied Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, and instigated war in eastern Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of approximately 14,000 Ukrainians. (9) The Russian Federation’s invasion and illegal occupation of the Crimean Peninsula and instigation of conflict in eastern Ukraine in 2014 was widely viewed as an effort to stifle pro-democracy and pro-Western developments across Ukraine in the wake of the Revolution of Dignity. (10) At the 2014 Wales Summit, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization adopted the Enhanced Opportunities Partnership Program as a component of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Partnership Interoperability Initiative, which would encourage, facilitate, and sustain Ukraine’s contributions to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. (11) In 2016, as a result of the Warsaw Summit, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization pledged additional training and technical support for the military forces of Ukraine and endorsed a comprehensive assistance package that included tailored capability and capacity building measures … to enhance Ukraine’s resilience against a wide array of threats, including hybrid threats . (12) In 2017, in the face of continued Russian Federation aggression in the eastern region of Ukraine and the continued occupation of Crimea, the Government of Ukraine rejected cooperation with the Russian Federation and voted to make cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization a foreign policy priority. (13) On September 1, 2017, the Ukraine-European Union Association Agreement entered into force.
