2007''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Beginning on August 19, 2007, hundreds of thousands of 
        citizens of Burma, including thousands of Buddhist monks and 
        students, participated in peaceful demonstrations against 
        rapidly deteriorating living conditions and the violent and 
        repressive policies of the State Peace and Development Council 
        (SPDC), the ruling military junta in Burma, to--
                    (A) demand the release of all political prisoners, 
                including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi; 
                and
                    (B) urge the SPDC to engage in meaningful dialogue 
                to pursue national reconciliation.
            (2) The SPDC, in a display of brutal barbarism, violently 
        confronted unarmed demonstrators, killing, injuring, and 
        imprisoning citizens, including several thousand Buddhist 
        monks, and continued to forcefully restrict peaceful forms of 
        public expression.
            (3) The Department of State's 2006 Reports on Human Rights 
        Practices found that the SPDC--
                    (A) routinely restricts freedoms of speech, press, 
                assembly, association, religion, and movement;
                    (B) traffics in persons;
                    (C) discriminates against women and ethnic 
                minorities;
                    (D) forcibly recruits child soldiers and child 
                labor; and
                    (E) commits other serious violations of human 
                rights, including extrajudicial killings, custodial 
                deaths, disappearances, rape, torture, abuse of 
                prisoners and detainees, and the imprisonment of 
                citizens arbitrarily for political motives.
            (4) Aung San Suu Kyi has been arbitrarily imprisoned or 
        held under house arrest for more than 12 years.
            (5) The President announced on September 25, 2007, that the 
        United States would tighten economic sanctions against Burma, 
        and block property and interests in property of certain senior 
        leaders of the SPDC, individuals who provide financial backing 
        for the SPDC, and individuals responsible for violations of 
        human rights and for impeding the transition to democracy in 
        Burma.
            (6) The President also announced on September 25, 2007, 
        that the United States would impose an expanded visa ban on 
        individuals--
                    (A) responsible for violations of human rights; and
                    (B) who aid, abet, or benefit from the SPDC's 
                efforts to impede the efforts of the people of Burma to 
                transition to democracy and ensure respect for human 
                dignity.
            (7) The Total Oil Corporation of France and the Chevron 
        Corporation of the United States own a significant stake in 
        Burma's Yadana natural gas field and pipeline and generate 
        millions of dollars in revenue that help the repressive junta 
        government maintain its grasp on power.
            (8) Burma is home to approximately 60 percent of the 
        world's native teak reserves. More than one quarter of the 
        world's internationally traded teak originates from Burma, and 
        hardwood sales, mainly of teak, represent more than 11 percent 
        of Burma's official foreign exchange earnings.
            (9) Burma officially exports tens of millions of dollars 
        worth of rubies, sapphires, pearls, jade, and other precious 
        stones each year and the SPDC owns a majority stake in all 
        mining operations within the borders of Burma.
            (10) On October 11, 2007, the United Nations Security 
        Council, with the consent of China, issued a statement 
        condemning the violence in Burma, urging the release of all 
        political prisoners, and calling on the SPDC to enter into a 
        United Nations-mediated dialogue with its political opposition.
            (11) The leaders of the SPDC will have a greater incentive 
        to cooperate with diplomatic efforts by the United Nations, the 
        Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and China if they come 
        under targeted economic pressure that denies them access to 
        personal wealth and sources of revenue.
