SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and 
        the subsequent introduction of weapons grade anthrax into the 
        United States Postal System and Congressional office buildings 
        in Washington, D.C., the President and the Congress have worked 
        closely to respond to the need to rebuild and strengthen the 
        nation's public health, national security, and emergency 
        response systems.
            (2) Based on Article I, section 8 of the United States 
        Constitution, treaties, Federal statutes, and court decisions, 
        the United States has a unique historical and legal 
        relationship with American Indian and Alaska Native people, 
        which serves as the basis for the Federal Government's trust 
        responsibility and obligations. There are currently 558 
        federally-recognized Indian tribes in the United States, with 
        some 40 percent of Indian tribes located in the State of 
        Alaska. Indian tribes have principle responsibility for lands 
        and people within their jurisdiction.
            (3) Despite the government-to-government relationship 
        between Indian tribes and the United States, the United States 
        has failed to include and consult with Indian tribes with 
        regard to homeland security prevention, protection, and 
        response activities planning. Moreover, there are no specific 
        provisions for the Bureau of Indian Affairs or the Indian 
        Health Service to participate in homeland security programs and 
        funding.
            (4) Throughout many areas of the United States, facilities 
        operated, and services, activities and government functions 
        carried out, by Indian tribes, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and 
        the Indian Health Service are the only sources available to 
        provide emergency health services, disaster response, and law 
        enforcement to the tribal and non-tribal community, thus 
        serving the role as ``first responders'' in the event of a 
        terrorist attack.
            (5) To provide for the public health and safety on tribal 
        lands and in the surrounding communities, it is imperative to 
        establish tribal participation in homeland security 
        initiatives. Indian tribes must be included in the national 
        strategy for homeland security and receive an appropriate share 
        of related funding.
            (6) The treatment of Indian tribes as State governments, as 
        appropriate, for developing funding methodologies, planning, 
        consultation, coordination, and for eligibility for grant 
        monies will ensure Indian tribes are adequately prepared to 
        respond to Homeland Security threats.
            (7) Indian tribes shall be treated as State, as 
        appropriate, for purposes of planning, consultation, 
        coordination, eligibility for grant monies and other purposes 
        to improve the United States capacity to prepare, prevent and 
        respond to terrorist activities.
    (b) Purposes.--The purposes of this Act are as follows:
            (1) To establish within the Department of Homeland Security 
        an office known as the Office of Tribal Government Homeland 
        Security.
            (2) To authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to 
        appoint, in consultation with Indian tribes, a Director of 
        Tribal Government Homeland Security.
            (3) To provide for more effective management of, and 
        accountability for the proper discharge of, the Secretary's 
        trust responsibility to Indian tribes and individual American 
        Indians and Alaska Natives by establishing in the Department of 
        Homeland Security an Office of Tribal Government Homeland 
        Security.
            (4) To integrate and coordinate the efforts of the 
        Department of Homeland Security and Indian tribes to prepare 
        for, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from 
        terrorist attacks.
            (5) To provide strategic integration of the Homeland 
        Security activities of Indian tribes that will complement the 
        operational consolidation of the various directorates within 
        the Department.
            (6) To supplement the capacity of the Indian Health Service 
        and the Bureau of Indian Affairs to respond to the homeland 
        security needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives, without 
        jeopardizing the nonsecurity missions of the Indian Health 
        Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
            (7) To serve as an information clearinghouse and to enhance 
        the integration and coordination of Indian tribes and in the 
        activities of the Department of Homeland Security.
            (8) To establish an organizational framework within the 
        Department of Homeland Security through which the Federal 
        Government, Indian tribes, and State and local governments can 
        work effectively and collaboratively on public health and 
        safety, terrorism detection, prevention, response, and 
        protection of critical infrastructure.

[Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``United States China Policy Act of 
1994''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The economic, social, political, and cultural welfare 
        of the people of China, who constitute one-fifth of the world's 
        population, is a matter of global humanitarian concern.
            (2) By virtue of its size, its economic vitality, its 
        status as a nuclear power, and its role as a permanent member 
        of the United Nations Security Council, China plays a 
        significant role in world affairs.
            (3) The United States policy toward China involves 
        balancing multiple interests, including promoting human rights 
        and democracy, securing China's strategic cooperation in Asia 
        and the United Nations, protecting United States national 
        security interests, controlling the proliferation of weapons of 
        mass destruction, promoting a peaceful and democratic 
        transition in Hong Kong, and expanding United States economic 
        contact with China.
            (4) United States policy toward China must include as a key 
        objective the promotion of internationally recognized human 
        rights. Specific priorities and methods should be appropriate 
        to the circumstances. Engagement with China rather than its 
        isolation is more likely to foster United States interests.
            (5) The opening of China to the West, the adoption of free 
        market economic reforms, the emergence of a strong and 
        entrepreneurial economy that ensures the rise of a Chinese 
        middle class; all have led to expanded individual freedom, a 
        weakening of state control over personal expression, access to 
        the media in the United States, Hong Kong, and the West, and 
        major improvements in living standards for the Chinese people.
            (6) United States policies that encourage economic 
        liberalization and increased contact with the United States and 
        other democracies foster respect for internationally recognized 
        human rights and can contribute to civil and political reform 
        in China.
            (7) The President's policy statement of May 26, 1994, 
        provides a sound framework for expanding and extending the 
        relationship of the United States with China while continuing 
        the commitment of the United States to its historic values. The 
        United States must develop a comprehensive and coherent policy 
        toward China that addresses the complex and fast-changing 
        reality in that country and promotes simultaneously the human 
        rights, diplomatic, economic, and security interests of the 
        United States toward China.
            (8) The United States has an interest in a strong, stable, 
        prosperous, and open China whose government contributes to 
        international peace and security and whose actions are 
        consistent with the responsibilities of great power status. 
        Whether those expectations are met will determine the breadth, 
        depth, and tone of the United States-China bilateral 
        relationship.
            (9) Peace and economic progress in East Asia is best 
        assured through a web of cooperative relations among the 
        countries of the region, including China and the United States. 
        The emergence of a militarily powerful China that seeks to 
        dominate East Asia would be regarded as a matter of serious 
        concern by the United States and by other countries in the 
        Asia-Pacific region.
            (10) Yet China's performance has been uneven on a number of 
        issues of concern to the United States. In particular, the 
        Chinese Government has failed to observe internationally 
        recognized human rights. In this regard the Congress makes the 
        following declarations:
                    (A) The Chinese Government itself has made 
                commitments to observe universal human rights norms.
                    (B) Human rights have universal application and are 
                not solely defined by culture or history.
                    (C) Chinese policies of particular concern to the 
                United States are the criminalization of dissent, the 
                inhumane treatment in prisons, and the serious 
                repression in non-Han-Chinese areas like Tibet.
            (11) Genuine political stability in China and greater 
        respect for internationally recognized human rights, as well as 
        continued economic growth and stability, will only occur in 
        China as a result of a strengthened legal system (based on the 
        rule of law and property rights), the emergence of a civil 
        society, and the creation of political institutions that are 
        responsive to public opinion and the interests of social 
        groups.
            (12) China has entered a major transition in its political 
        history which will determine the nature of the domestic system, 
        including respect for internationally recognized human rights, 
        and the Chinese Government's foreign policy. The Chinese 
        Government should accelerate the process of reform of all 
        aspects of Chinese society.
            (13) Existing official bilateral and multilateral 
        institutions provide useful venues for engagement with China 
        concerning the rule of law, civil society, respect for 
        internationally recognized human rights, and political 
        institutions that provide humane and effective governance.
            (14) American nongovernmental and business organizations, 
        in their various forms of engagement in China, have contributed 
        in that country to the initial emergence of civil society, the 
        strengthening of the legal system, and the expansion of 
        economic autonomy.

SEC. 3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITED STATES POLICY.

    Congress affirms the President's policy and makes the following 
recommendations for the conduct of United States policy toward China:
            (1) The United States should continue a steady and 
        comprehensive policy of pressing for increased Chinese 
        adherence to international norms, especially those concerning 
        internationally recognized human rights.
            (2) Of particular concern to the United States are the 
        following:
                    (A) The accounting and release of political 
                prisoners.
                    (B) Access to Chinese prisoners by international 
                humanitarian organizations.
                    (C) Negotiations between the Chinese Government and 
                the Dalai Lama on Tibetan issues.
            (3) The official dialogue with the Chinese Government on 
        human rights issues should continue and be intensified.
            (4) As he considers appropriate, the President should use 
        other available modes of official interaction with China to 
        pursue initiatives that are relevant to promoting increased 
        respect for human rights in China.
            (5) The United States should expand broadcasting to China, 
        through the Voice of America and Radio Free Asia.
            (6) The United States should work through available 
        multilateral fora, such as the United Nations Human Rights 
        Commission, to express concerns about human rights in China and 
        to encourage Chinese adherence to, and compliance with, 
        international human rights instruments. At all appropriate 
        times, the United States should work toward and support joint 
        actions to address significant problems. In particular, the 
        United States should seek to secure the participation of other 
        governments in overtures to secure the accounting and release 
        of political prisoners, to encourage access to Chinese 
        prisoners by international humanitarian organizations and 
        negotiations between the Chinese Government and the Dalai Lama.
            (7) Where possible, the United States should take further 
        steps to foster in China the rule of law, the creation of a 
        civic society, and the emergence of institutions that provide 
        humane and effective governance.
            (8) To better carry out the recommendation in paragraph 
        (7), the Secretary of State should encourage United States 
        posts in China to increase reporting on the human rights 
        situation, the rule of law, civil society, and other political 
        developments in China, and to increase appropriate contacts 
        with domestic nongovernmental organizations.
            (9) United States non-governmental organizations should 
        continue and expand activities that encourage the rule of law, 
        the emergence of a civic society, and the creation of 
        institutions that provide humane and effective governance.
            (10) When considering the termination of the suspensions of 
        United States Government activities enacted in section 902(a) 
        of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 
        and 1991, the President should explore whether such 
        terminations could be used to elicit specific steps by the 
        Chinese government to enhance respect for internationally 
        recognized human rights or correct abuses of such rights.

SEC. 4. UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS SUPPORTING HUMAN RIGHTS IN 
              CHINA.

                    (B) Through United States nongovernmental

        be used for broadcasting to China.

SEC. 5. INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONS.

    It is the sense of Congress that, in the event that international 
humanitarian organizations undertake activities in China related to the 
treatment of prisoners, the President should make available an 
additional contribution to those organizations to support such 
activities.
