communication to the Senate concerning the proposed sale of 
AWACS aircraft and F-15 enhancement items to Saudi Arabia 
which was then being reviewed by the Congress (hereafter in this

"Transfer of the AWACS will take place . . . only after the 
Congress has received in writing a Presidential certification, 
containing agreements with Saudi Arabia, that the following 
conditions have been met: 
"1. Security of Technology 
"A. That a detailed plan for the security of equipment, tech-
nology, information, and supporting documentation has been 
Prohibition. 
Ante, p. 203. 
99 STAT. 208 
PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
agreed to by the United States and Saudi Arabia and is in place; 
and 
"B. The security provisions are no less stringent than meas-
ures employed by the U.S. for protection and control of its 
equipment of like kind outside the continental U.S.; and 
"C. The U.S. has the right of continual on-site inspection and 
surveillance by U.S. personnel of security arrangements for all 
operations during the useful life of the AW 
ACS. It is further 
provided that security arrangements will be supplemented by 
additional U.S. personnel if it is deemed necessary by the two 
parties; and 
"D. Saudi Arabia will not permit citizens of third nations 
either to perform maintenance on the AW 
ACS or to modify any 
such equipment without prior, explicit mutual consent of the 
two governments; and 
"E. Computer software, as designated by the U.S. Govern-
ment, will remain the property of the USG. 
"2. Access to Information 
"That Saudi Arabia has agreed to share with the United 
States continuously and completely the information that it 
acquires from use of the AW 
ACS. 
"3. Control Over Third-Country Participation 
"A. That Saudi Arabia has agreed not to share access to 
AW 
ACS 
equipment, 
technology, 
documentation, 
or 
any 
information developed from such equipment or technology with 
any nation other than the U.S. without the prior, explicit 
mutual consent of both governments; and 
"B. There are in place adequate and effective procedures 
requiring the screening and security clearance of citizens of 
Saudi Arabia and that only cleared Saudi citizens and cleared 
U.S. nationals will have access to AW 
ACS equipment, tech-
nology, or documentation, or information derived therefrom, 
without the prior, explicit mutual consent of the two 
governments. 
"4. AW 
ACS Flight Operations 
"That the Saudi AW 
ACS will be operated solely within the 
boundaries of Saudi Arabia, except with the prior, explicit 
mutual consent of the two governments, and solely for defensive 
purposes as defined by the United States, in order to maintain 
security and regional stability. 
"5. Command Structure 
"That agreements as they concern organizational command 
and control structure for the operation of AW 
ACS are of such a 
nature to guarantee that the commitments above will be 
honored. 
"6. Regional Peace and Security 
"That the sale contributes directly to the stability and secu-
rity of the area, enhances the atmosphere and prospects for 
progress toward peace, and that initiatives toward the peaceful 
resolution of disputes in the region have either been success-
fully completed or that significant progress toward that goal has 
been accomplished with the substantial assistance of Saudi 
Arabia.". 
(2) The Congress finds that the President also stated in the 1981 
AW 
ACS communication that should circumstances arise that might 
require changes in the arrangements described in that communica-
tion, "they would be made only with Congressional participation".

cation, containing agreements with Saudi Arabia, that the condi-
tions set forth in that communication have been met.

a process by which democratic and open societies of the world, which 
are those most plagued by terrorism, negotiate a viable treaty to 
effectively prevent and respond to terrorist attacks. Such a treaty 
should incorporate an operative definition of terrorism, and should 
establish effective close intelligence-sharing, joint counterterrorist 
training, and uniform laws on asylum, extradition, and swift punish-
ment for perpetrators of terrorism. Parties to such a treaty should 
include, but not be limited to, those democratic nations who are 
most victimized by terrorism. 
SEC. 508. STATE TERRORISM. 
It is the sense of the Congress that all civilized nations should 
firmly condemn the increasing use of terrorism by certain states £is 
an official instrument for promoting their policy goals, as evidenced 
by such examples as the brutal assassination of Major Arthur D. 
Nicholson, Junior, by a member of the Soviet armed forces.

security measures at such airport based upon, at a minimum, the 
standards and appropriate recommended practices contained in 
Annex 17 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, as 
61 Stat. 1180. 
those standards and recommended practices are in effect on the date 
of such assessment. 
"C»NSULTATION WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE

threat which exists in each country. The Secretary of Transpor-
tation shall also consult with the Secretary of State in order to

(11) such alleged conduct on the part of the Government of 
Cuba would be injurious to the world community and counter to 
the general principle of international law that no country has

99 STAT. 233 
the right to use or permit the use of its territory in such a 
manner as to injure another country or persons therein, 
(b) RECOMMENDED ACTIONS.—It is the sense of the Congress that 
the President should— 
(1) acting through the Permanent Representative of the 
United States to the United Nations, take such steps as may be 
necessary to place the question of the involvement by the 
Government of Cuba in illicit drug trafficking on the agenda of 
the United Nations; 
(2) acting through the Representative of the United States to 
the Organization of American States, request the Organization 
of American States to consider this question as soon as possible; 
and 
(8) request other appropriate international organizations and 
international forums to consider this question. 
(c) REPORT.—The President shall report to the Congress on the 
actions taken pursuant to this section. 
SEC. 618. PROHIBITION ON ASSISTANCE TO COUNTRIES WHICH DO NOT

adding at the end thereof the following new paragraph: 
"(4) In addition to the requirements applicable to major illicit 
drug producing countries pursuant to paragraph (1), the President 
shall not provide any assistance under this Act or the Arms Export 
Control Act to any other country which the President determines 
22 USC 2751 
has not taken adequate steps to prevent— 
^°^-
"(A) the processing (in whole or in part) in such country of 
narcotic and psychotropic drugs or other controlled substances, 
"(B) the transportation through such country of narcotic and 
psychotropic drugs or other controlled substances, and

TIALITY OF CERTAIN FOREIGN BANK ACCOUNTS. 
note. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
(1) several banks in Latin America and the Caribbean are 
used by narcotics traffickers as depositories for money obtained 
in providing illicit drugs to the United States and other coun-
tries of the region; 
(2) offshore banks which provide total confidentiality provide 
a service which materially assists the operations of illicit drug 
traffickers; and 
(3) cooperation in gaining access to the bank accounts of such 
narcotics traffickers would materially assist United States 
authorities in controlling the activities of such traffickers. 
(b) POLICY.—The Congress— 
(1) requests the President to negotiate treaties or appropriate 
international agreements with all countries providing confiden-
tial banking services (giving high priority to countries in the 
Caribbean region) to provide disclosure to the United States 
Government of information contained in official records, and in 
records of bank accounts, concerning persons under investiga-
tion for violations of United States law, in particular those 
regarding international drug trafficking; 
99 STAT. 234 
PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
(2) directs the President to include reports on the results of 
such efforts in the annual International Narcotics Control 
Strategy Report; and 
(3) reaffirms its intention to obtain maximum cooperation on 
the part of all governments for the purpose of halting inter-
national drug trafficking, and constantly to evaluate the co-
operation of those governments receiving assistance from the 
United States. 
TITLE VII—WESTERN HEMISPHERE 
SEC. 701. CENTRAL AMERICA DEMOCRACY, PEACE, AND DEVELOPMENT 
INITIATIVE. 
Part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended by adding 
after chapter 5 the following new chapter: 
"CHAPTER 6—CENTRAL AMERICA DEMOCRACY, 
PEACE, AND DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE 
22 use 2271. 
"SEC. 461. STATEMENT OF POUCY.—(a) The Congress finds t h a t -
'll) the building of democracy, the restoration of peace, the 
improvement of living conditions, and the application of equal 
justice under law in Central America are important to the 
interests of the United States and the community of American 
States; and 
"(2) the interrelated issues of social and human progress, 
economic growth, political reform, and regional security must 
be effectively dealt with to assure a democratic and economi-
cally and politically secure Central America. 
Human rights. 
"(b)(1) The achievement of democracy, respect for human rights, 
peace, and equitable economic growth depends primarily on the 
cooperation and the human and economic resources of the people 
and governments of Central America. The Congress recognizes that 
the United States can make a significant contribution to such 
peaceful and democratic development through a consistent and 
coherent policy which includes a long-term commitment of assist-
ance. This policy should be designed to support actively— 
"(A) democracy and political reform, including opening the 
political process to all members of society; 
"(B) full observance of internationally recognized human 
rights, including free elections, freedom of the press, freedom of 
association, and the elimination of all human rights abuses; 
"(C) leadership development, including training and edu-
cational programs to improve public administration and the 
administration of justice; 
"(D) land reform, reform in tax systems, encouragement of 
private enterprise and individual initiative, creation of favor-
able investment climates, curbing corruption where it exists, 
and spurring balanced trade; 
"(E) the establishment of the rule of law and an effective 
judicial system; and 
"(F) the termination of extremist violence by both the left and 
the right as well as vigorous action to prosecute those guilty of 
crimes and the prosecution to the extent possible of past 
offenders. 
PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
99 STAT. 235 
"(2) The policy described in paragraph (1) should also promote 
equitable economic growth and development, including control-
ling the flight of capital and the effective use of foreign assistance 
and adhering to approved programs for economic stabilization and 
fiscal responsibility. Finally, this policy should foster dialog and 
negotiations— 
"(A) to achieve peace based upon the objectives of democra-
tization, reduction of armament, an end to subversion, and the 
withdrawal of foreign military forces and advisers; and 
"(B) to provide a security shield against violence and 
intimidation. 
"(3) It is the purpose of this chapter to establish the statutory 
framework and to authorize the appropriations and financing nec-
essary to carry out the policy described in this section. 
"(c) The Congress finds, therefore, that the people of the United 
States are willing to sustain and expand a program of economic and 
military assistance in Central America if the recipient countries can 
demonstrate progress toward and a commitment to these goals. 
"SEC. 462. CONDITIONS ON FURNISHING ASSISTANCE.—The Presi-
dent shall ensure that assistance authorized by this Act and the 
Arms Export Control Act to Central American countries is fur-
nished in a manner which fosters demonstrated progress toward and 
commitment to the objectives set forth in section 461. Where nec-
essary to achieve this purpose, the President shall impose conditions 
on the furnishing of such assistance. In carrying out this section, the 
President shall consult with the Congress in regard to progress 
toward the objectives set forth in section 461, and any conditions 
imposed on the furnishing of assistance in furtherance of those 
objectives. 
"SEC. 463. PEACE PROCESS IN CENTRAL AMERICA.—The Congress— 
"(1) strongly supports the initiatives taken by the Contadora 
group and the resulting Document of Objectives which has been 
agreed to by Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, 
and Nicaragua and which sets forth a framework for negotiat-
ing a peaceful settlement to the conflict and turmoil in the 
region; and 
"(2) finds that the United States should provide such assist-
ance and support as may be appropriate in helping to reach 
comprehensive and verifiable final agreements, based on the 
Document of Objectives, which will ensure peaceful and endur-
ing solutions to the Central American conflicts. 
"SEC. 464. ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE COORDINATION.—(a) The Con-
gress finds that participation by Central American countries in an 
effective forum for dialog on, and the continuous review and 
advancement of. Central America's political, economic, and social 
development would foster cooperation between the United States 
and Central American countries. 
"(b) It is the sense of the Congress that— 
"(1) the President should enter into negotiations with the 
countries of Central America to establish a Central American 
Development Organization (hereafter in this section referred to 
as the 'Organization') to help provide a continuous and coherent 
approach to the development of the Central American region; 
and 
"(2) the establishment of the Organization should be based 
upon the following principles:

"(A) Participation in the Organization should be open to 
the United States, other donors, and those Central Amer-
ican countries that commit themselves to, among other 
things, respecting internationally recognized human rights, 
building democracy, and encouraging equitable economic 
growth through policy reforms. 
"(B) The Organization should be structured to include 
representatives from both the public and private sectors, 
including representatives from the labor, agriculture, and 
business communities. 
"(C) The Organization should meet periodically to carry 
out the functions described in subparagraphs (D) and (E) of 
this paragraph and should be supported by a limited profes-
sional secretariat. 
"(D) The Organization should make recommendations 
affecting Central American countries on such matters as— 
"(i) political, economic, and social development objec-
tives, including the strengthening of democratic plural-
ism and the safeguarding of internationally recognized 
human rights; 
"(ii) mobilization of resources and external assistance 
needs; and 
"(iii) reform of economic policies and structures. 
"(E) The Organization should have the capacity for mon-
itoring country performance on recommendations issued in 
accordance with subparagraph (D) of this paragraph and 
for evaluating progress toward meeting such country 
objectives. 
"(F) To the maximum extent practicable, the United 
States should follow the recommendations of the Organiza-
tion in disbursing bilateral economic assistance for any 
Central American country. No more than 75 percent of 
such United States £issistance in any fiscal year should be 
disbursed until the recommendations of the Organization 
for that fiscal year have been made final and commu-
nicated to the donor countries. The limitation on disburse-
ments contained in the preceding sentence should apply 
only to recommendations made final and communicated to 
donor countries prior to the fourth quarter of such fiscal 
year. The United States representative to the Organization 
should urge other donor countries to similarly implement 
the recommendations of the Organization. 
"(G) The administrator of the agency primarily respon-
sible for administering part I of this Act, or his designee, 
should represent the United States Government in the 
Organization and should carry out his functions in that 
capacity under the continuous supervision and general 
direction of the Secretary of State. 
"(c) Subject to subsection (d)(2), the President is authorized to 
participate in the Organization. 
"(d)(1) The administrator of the agency primarily responsible for 
administering part I of this Act, under the supervision and direction 
of the Secretary of State, shall prepare a detailed proposal to carry 
out this section and shall keep the Committee on Foreign Affairs of 
the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions of the Senate fully and currently informed concerning the 
development of this proposal.

Foreign Relations of the Senate a copy of the text of any agreement, 
which he proposes to sign, that would provide for the establishment

SEC. 702. EL SALVADOR. 
(a) SUPPORT FOR EL SALVADOR.—(1) The Congress finds that— 
(A) a free and democratic El Salvador is in the security 
interest of the United States; 
(B) Jose Napoleon Duarte was elected President of El Sal-
vador in 1984 in the most democratic election held in El Sal-
vador in many years; 
(C) political violence in El Salvador has declined dramatically 
under President Duarte's leadership; 
(D) President Duarte's policies of respect for human rights, 
political pluralism, dialogue and reconciliation with the Salva-
doran guerrilla forces, legal and social reform, and effective 
defense against the violent overthrow of the Salvadoran govern-
ment are deserving of praise from all who believe in a demo-
cratic form of government; 
(E) the March 31, 1985, legislative and municipal elections 
were successfully carried out, with 64 percent of the electorate 
defying guerrilla attacks to vote; 
(F) the victory of President Duarte's Christian Democratic 
Party reaffirms the support for these policies by his fellow 
citizens, the essential test of any government or movement; 
(G) in spite of the state of siege technically in effect due tathe 
insurgent threat, observance of free speech, free press, and free 
assembly are widely enjoyed in El Salvador and permit public 
airing of opposing political views; 
(H) President Duarte is firmly committed to judicial reform 
and prosecution of cases involving "death squads";

PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
President of U.S. 
(I) President Duarte's leadership and popular support has 
notably weakened the popular support given the guerrillas, as 
evidenced by the high levels of voter participation in the free 
elections held in El Salvador since 1982, the reduction in terri-
tory in which the guerrillas can freely operate, their inability to 
mount frontal military attacks, and their resort to economic 
sabotage, ambushes, political assassination, and urban terror-
ism with blatant disregard for basic human rights; and 
(J) President Duarte has succeeded in reversing the decline in 
his country's economy which, though still weak, has better 
prospects than in recent years. 
(2) Therefore, it is the sense of the Congress that— 
(A) President Duarte is to be congratulated for his outstand-
ing leadership under difficult circumstances and for his efforts 
to foster democratic government and institutions in his country, 
and he is encouraged to continue his efforts to promote political 
pluralism, democratic institutions, and respect for human 
rights in his country; and 
(B) the armed services of El Salvador are to be congratulated 
for their improved performance and professionalism in defend-
ing Salvadoran citizens and their democratically elected govern-
ment from attack by armed insurgents, and especially for their 
role in helping to protect and uphold the electoral process. 
(3) The Congress reaffirms the importance of continued support 
for democratic principles and institutions and respect for human 
rights by the various sectors of Salvadoran society, which is a major 
factor in United States support for El Salvador. 
(b) OBJECTIVES.—The Congress expects that— 
(1) the Government of El Salvador will be willing to pursue a 
dialogue with the armed opposition forces and their political 
representatives for the purposes of achieving an equitable politi-
cal settlement of the conflict, including free and fair elections; 
(2) the elected civilian government will be in control of the 
Salvadoran military and security forces, and those forces will 
comply with applicable rules of international law and with 
Presidential directives pertaining to the protection of civilians 
during combat operations, including Presidential directive C-
111-03-984 (relating to aerial fire support); 
(3) the Government of El Salvador will make demonstrated 
progress, during the period covered by each report pursuant to 
subsection (c), in ending the activities of the death squads; 
(4) the Government of El Salvador will make demonstrated 
progress, during the period covered by each report pursuant to 
subsection (c), in establishing an effective judicial system; and 
(5) the Government of El Salvador will make demonstrated 
progress, during the period covered by each report pursuant to 
subsection (c), in implementing the land reform program.

Foreign Relations of the Senate on the extent to which the objec-
tives described in subsection (b) are being met. With respect to the 
objective described in paragraph (4) of that subsection, each report 
shall discuss whether the commission proposed by the President of 
El Salvador to investigate human rights cases has been established, 
funded, and given sufficient investigative powers; whether the evi-
dence that commission collects may be used in the Salvadoran

99 STAT. 239 
judicial process; whether that commission has issued a comprehen-
sive report with regard to its investigation of all Americans mur-
dered in El Salvador; and whether those responsible for the Las 
Hojas massacre are being prosecuted. 
(d) AIRCRAFT FOR AERIAL WARFARE.—(1) The authorities of part II 
of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 and the Arms Export Control 
Act may not be used to make available to El Salvador any heli-
copters or other aircraft, and licenses may not be issued under 
section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act for the export to El 
Salvador of any such aircraft, unless the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate are notified at least 15 days in

MENT EFFORTS.

(1) employee stock ownership plans in industrial, farming, 
banking, and other enterprises in Central America and the 
Caribbean can be an important component in achieving United 
States goals in Central America and the Caribbean; and 
(2) employee stock ownership plans should be used as an 
instrument in financing growth and transfers of equity in the 
region, in reorganizing state-owned enterprises into viable em-
ployee-owned businesses, in expanding political and economic 
pluralism, and in strengthening democratic institutions in the 
region. 
(b) PLAN FOR EXPANDED USE OF ESOPS.—The President is urged to 
develop a plan for the expanded use of employee stock ownership 
plans in development efforts of the United States in Central Amer-
ica and the Caribbean, with an 
emphasis on policy

making new investments, or are interested in management con-
tracts and joint ventures in the region.

(2) such problems are not addressed sufficiently by current 
United States policies toward that region; 
(3) the development of the Caribbean Region is of vital impor-
tance to the economic and strategic interests of the United 
States and its allies; and 
(4) for purposes of defining development plans, providing an

ance for energy, private and voluntary organizations, and selected

nomic development. 
SEC. 717. FACILITATING INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE THROUGH MEXICO. 
(a) FINDING.—Recognizing that increased levels of balanced inter-
national trade are an essential component in an economic develop-
ment program for the region and that the United States has 
traditionally been the most important trading partner for each of 
the nations of Latin America, it is the sense of the Congress that 
current procedures and laws of the Government of Mexico, and 
practices of its officials, constitute a significant impediment to the 
transit of vehicles carrying the commodities of international trade 
through Mexican territory. 
(b) NEGOTIATIONS AND COOPERATIVE STEPS CONCERNING TRANSIT.— 
As the Government of Mexico has played a valuable role in assisting 
and encouraging the economic and political development of the 
region, and in offering advice to the United States as to constructive 
policies this nation might pursue with respect to peace and prosper-
ity in the area, the Secretary of State, acting independently or with 
representatives of other Latin America nations, shall initiate nego-
tiations with the Government of Mexico aimed at eliminating or 
reducing those impediments to international trade. The agenda for 
such negotiations should include discussions to encourage the 
Government of Mexico to accede to existing international custom 
conventions on international in-transit shipments. Such actions are 
to be taken in concert with the institution by the United States, and 
the nations of the region where the transiting shipments originate, 
of appropriate and cooperative steps to make sealed-truck, no-
inspection transit administratively acceptable to the Government of 
Mexico and other transited countries. Similar bilateral or multilat-
eral negotiations by the Secretary of State with nations respecting 
the same international customs conventions is also encouraged. 
(c) REPORT.—The Secretary of State shall report the status of these 
negotiations to Congress by January 1,1986.

from $27,000,000,000 in 1970 to over $350,000,000,000 in 1983; 
(2) the foreign debt of Latin American countries is a serious 
obstacle to their economic progress, threatens their stability, 
and endangers the democratic processes in those nations; 
(3) the economic and political futures of many of the Latin 
American countries hang in the balance and depend upon a 
successful resolution of the foreign debt crisis; and 
(4) the confidence of the American people in the United States 
system of banking is also involved in a successful resolution of 
the foreign debt crisis.

SEC. 721. CANADIAN EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES. 
(a) CATTLE AND HOGS.—(1) The Congress finds that— 
(A) livestock prices have been in decline for some time due to 
excessive supply partially caused by dramatic increases in im-
portation of live cattle and hogs from Canada, which has in-
creased by 1,000 percent in the last decade in the case of hogs 
alone; 
(B) American livestock producers are suffering from the same 
general economic crisis affecting all of agriculture, and many 
will face liquidation or foreclosure in the near future; and 
(C) the disparity between the United States and the Canadian 
dollar amounts to 32 to 34 percent and results in even further 
increases in Canadian hogs and cattle being imported into the 
United States. 
(2) Therefore, it is the sense of the Congress that the President 
should direct appropriate officials of the executive branch, including 
the United States Trade Representative, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, and the Secretary of Commerce, to aggressively pursue 
discussions with the Canadian Government directed toward imme-
diate reduction in the Canadian export of cattle and hogs to the 
United States. 
(b) SOFTWOOD TIMBER.—(1) The Congress finds that— 
Forests and 
(A) softwood timber prices have been in decline for some time 
forest 
due to excessive supply partially caused by dramatic increases P^°^"cts. 
in importation of processed softwood timber from Canada, 
which has increased from 18 percent of the United States 
market in the last two years to 35 to 40 percent today; 
(B) American timber producers are suffering from this eco-
nomic crisis, and the difficulty in acquiring timber from the 
National Forest System; and 
(C) the disparity between the United States and the Canadian 
dollar amounts to 32 to 34 percent and results in even further 
increases in processed softwood timber being imported into the 
United States. 
(2) Therefore, it is the sense of the Congress that the President 
should direct appropriate officials of the executive branch, including 
the United States Trade Representative, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, and the Secretary of Commerce, to aggressively pursue 
discussions with the Canadian Government directed toward imme-
diate reduction in the Canadian export of softwood timber to the 
United States. 
SEC. 722. NICARAGUA. 
(a) SETTLEMENT OF THE CONFLICT.—The Congress— 
(1) strongly supports national reconciliation in Nicaragua and 
the creation of a framework for negotiating a peaceful settle-
ment to the Nicaraguan conflict; and 
(2) finds that the United States should, in assisting efforts to 
reach comprehensive and verifiable final agreements based on 
the Contadora Document of Objectives, encourage the Govern-
ment of Nicaragua to pursue a dialogue with the armed opposi-
tion forces and their political representatives for the purposes of 
achieving an equitable political settlement of the conflict, 
including free and fair elections. 
(b) UNITED STATES CONCERNS ABOUT NICARAGUAN FOREIGN AND 
DOMESTIC POUCIES.—The Congress finds and declares the following: 
99 STAT. 250 
PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
(1) Despite positive actions by the Congress signaling support 
for negotiated solutions to conflicts in Central America, there 
are disturbing trends in Nicaragua's foreign and domestic poli-
cies, including— 
(A) President Daniel Ortega's April 1985 trip to the 
Soviet Union at a time when the Congress signaled its 
strong disapproval of incre£ising Nicaraguan-Soviet ties; 
(B) the Sandinista government s close military ties with 
Cuba, the Soviet Union, and its Warsaw Pact allies; the 
disappointing and insufficient reduction of the number of 
Cuban advisors in Nicaragua by only 100 out of an approxi-
mately 2,500; and the continuing military buildup that 
Nicaragua's neighbors consider threatening; 
(C) the Sandinista government's curtailment of individual 
liberties, political expression, freedom of worship, and the 
independence of the media; 
(D) the subordination of military, judicial, and internal 
security functions to the ruling political party; and 
(E) the Sandinista government's efforts to export its influ-
ence and ideology. 
(2) If Nicaragua does not address the concerns described in 
paragraph (1), the United States has several options to address 
this challenge to peace and stability in the region, including 
political, diplomatic, and trade sanctions. In addition, the 
United States— 
(A) should through appropriate regional organizations, 
such as the Organization of American States, seek to main-
tain multilateral pressure on Nicaragua to address these 
concerns; and 
(B) should, if called upon to do so, give serious consider-
ation to supporting any sanctions adopted by such an 
organization. 
(3) In assessing whether or not progress is being made in 
addressing these concerns, the Congress will expect prompt and 
significant initiatives by the Government of Nicaragua such 
as— 
(A) the removal of foreign military advisors from Nica-
ragua; 
(B) the end to Sandinista support for insurgencies in 
other countries in the region, including the cessation of 
military supplies to the rebel forces fighting the democrat-
ically elected government in El Salvador; 
(C) restoration of individual liberties, political expression, 
freedom of worship, and the independence of the media; 
and 
(D) progress toward internal reconciliation and a plural-
istic democratic system, including steps to liberalize institu-
tions in order to allow the internal opposition in Nicaragua 
to become a viable partner in the Nicaraguan political 
process. 
(c) RESOLUTION OF THE CONFLICT IN NICARAGUA.-— 
(1) BASIS FOR P0LiCY.~The Congress finds that— 
(A) the people of Nicaragua are suffering the horrors of a 
fierce armed conflict that is causing grave hardships and 
loss of life, has thrown the country into a serious political, 
social, and economic upheaval, and is of serious concern to 
the nations of the region and to the United States; 
PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
99 STAT. 251 
(B) this conflict is fundamentally a continuation of efforts 
of the Nicaraguan people to attain a representative govern-
ment at peace with its neighbors, efforts which began under 
the Somoza regime; and 
(C) the United States recognized these noble aspirations 
of the Nicaraguan people in the June 23, 1979, resolution of 
the Seventeenth Meeting of Consultation of Ministers of 
Foreign Affairs of the Organization of American States, 
which reads as follows: 
"WHEREAS: 
"The people of Nicaragua are suffering the horrors of a fierce 
armed conflict that is causing grave hardships and loss of life, 
and has thrown the country into a serious political, social,, and 
economic upheaval; 
"The inhumane conduct of the dictatorial regime governing 
the country, as evidenced by the report of the Inter-American 
Commission on Human Rights, is the fundamental cause of the 
dramatic situation faced by the Nicaraguan people; and 
"The spirit of solidarity that guides Hemisphere relations 
places an unavoidable obligation on the American countries to 
exert every effort within their power, to put an end to the 
bloodshed and to avoid the prolongation of this conflict which is 
disrupting the peace of the Hemisphere; 
"THE SEVENTEENTH MEETING OF CONSULTATION OF 
MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS, 
"DECLARES: 
"That the solution of the serious problem is exclusively

PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
(2) THE GOVERNMENT OP NICARAGUA.—The Congress further 
finds that— 
(A) the Government of National Reconstruction of Nica-
ragua formally accepted the June 23, 1979, resolution as a 
basis for resolving the Nicaraguan conflict in its "Plan to 
Achieve Peace" which was submitted to the Organization of 
American States on July 12,1979; 
(B) the June 23,1979, resolution and its acceptance by the 
Government of National Reconstruction of Nicaragua was 
the formal basis for the removal of the Somoza regime and 
the installation of the Government of National Reconstruc-
tion; 
Human rights. 
(C) the Government of National Reconstruction, now 
known as the Government of Nicaragua and controlled by 
the Frente Sandinista (the FSLN), has flagrantly violated 
the provisions of the June 23, 1979, resolution, the rights 
of the Nicaraguan people, and the security of the nations in 
the region, in that it— 
(i) no longer includes the democratic members of the 
Government of National Reconstruction in the political 
process; 
(ii) is not a government freely elected under condi-
tions of freedom of the press, assembly, and organiza-
tion, and is not recognized as freely elected by its 
neighbors, Costa Rica, Honduras, and El Salvador; 
(iii) has taken significant steps towards establishing a 
totalitarian Communist dictatorship, including the 
formation of FSLN neighborhood watch committees 
and the enactment of laws that violate human rights 
and grant undue executive power; 
(iv) has committed atrocities against its citizens as 
documented in reports by the Inter-American Commis-
sion on Human Rights of the Organization of American 
States; 
(v) has aligned itself with the Soviet Union and 
Soviet allies, including the German Democratic Repub-
lic, Bulgaria, Libya, and the Palestine Liberation 
Organization;

(vi) has Committed and refuses to cease aggression in 
agreements.

Charter of the Organization of American States, the 
62 Stat. 1681. 
Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, and 
the 1965 United Nations General Assembly Declaration 
on Intervention; and 
(vii) h£is built up an army beyond the needs of imme-
diate self-defense, at the expense of the needs of the 
Nicaraguan people and about which the nations of the 
region have expressed deepest concern, 
(3) THE NICARAGUAN DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION.—The Congress 
further finds that— 
(A) as a result of these violations, the Government of 
Nicaragua has lost the support of virtually all independent 
sectors of Nicaraguan society who initially supported the 
removal of the Somoza regime (including democratic politi-
cal parties of the left, center, and right; the leadership of 
the Church; free unions; and the business, farmer, and 
PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
99 STAT. 253 
professional sectors) and who still seek democracy, reject 
the rule of the Frente Sandinista, and seek the free elec-
tions promised in 1979; 
(B) the Nicaraguan political opposition has joined with 
the armed opposition groups in issuing the San Jose Mani-
festo of March 1, 1985, calling for a national dialogue under 
mediation by the Nicaraguan Bishops Conference to peace-
fully 
attain 
the 
fulfillment 
of the 
Government 
of 
Nicaragua's commitments to the Organization of American 
States, including "the democratization of Nicaragua, con-
scious that democracy is the only means to carry out an 
authentic revolution and secure our national identity and 
sovereignty"; 
(C) on June 12, 1985, in San Salvador, El Salvador, the 
political and armed opposition groups representing the 
entire democratic political spectrum of Nicaragua formed 
the Unified Nicaraguan Opposition and affirmed their 
"historical commitment to achieve for Nicaragua the rec-
onciliation of her children, to establish the foundation for 
democracy and the moral and material reconstruction of 
the nation"; and 
(D) the Unified Nicaraguan Opposition further declared 
its intention to "give priority at all times to a political 
solution which will ease the suffering of our people". 
(4) CONCERNS IN THE REGION AND UNITED STATES RESPONSIBIL-
ITIES.—The Congress further finds that— 
(A) Nicaragua's neighbors, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and 
Honduras, have expressed, individually and through the 
Contadora process, their belief that their peace and free-
dom is not safe so long as the Government of Nicaragua 
excludes from power most of Nicaragua's political leader-
ship and is controlled by a small sectarian party, without 
regard to the will of the majority of Nicaraguans; and 
(B) the United States, given its role in the installation of 
the current Government of Nicaragua, has a special respon-
sibility regarding the implementation of the commitments 
made by that Government in 1979, especially to those who 
fought against Somoza to bring democracy to Nicaragua 
with United States support. 
(5) RESOLUTION OF THE CONFLICT.—The Congress— 
(A) condemns the Government of Nicaragua for violating 
its solemn commitments to the Nicaraguan people, the 
United States, and the Organization of American States; 
(B) affirms that the Government of Nicaragua will be 
regarded as having achieved political legitimacy when it 
fulfills its 1979 commitment to the Organization of Amer-
ican States to implement genuinely democratic elections, 
under the supervision of the Organization of American 
States, in which all elements of the Nicaraguan resistance 
can peacefully participate under conditions recognized as 
necessary for free elections by international bodies; 
(C) urges the Government of Nicaragua to enter a na-
tional dialogue, as proposed by the Nicaraguan democratic 
resistance in San Jose, Costa Rica, on March 1, 1985, under 
mediation by the Nicaraguan Bishops Conference in order 
to peacefully resolve the current crisis through internation-

States, and the Organization of American States; 
(E) supports efforts by the Contadora nations, the 
Organization of American States, and other appropriate 
regional organizations to maintain multilateral pressure on

insurgency or other act of rebellion against the Government of 
Nicaragua. The United States shall not enter into any arrangement 
conditioning, expressly or impliedly, the provision of assistance 
under this Act or the purchase of defense articles and services under 
the Arms Export Control Act upon the provision of assistance by a 
recipient to persons or groups engaging in an insurgency or other 
act of rebellion against the Government of Nicaragua. 
(e) LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS AGAINST NICARAGUA.—None of 
the funds authorized to be appropriated in this or any other Act can 
be used to fund directly, or indirectly, activities against the Govern-
ment of Nicaragua which have not been authorized by, or pursuant 
to, law and which would place the United States in violation of our 
obligations under the Charter of the Organization of American 
States, to which the United States is a signatory, or under inter-
national law as defined by treaty commitments agreed to, and 
ratified by, the Government of the United States. 
(f) FOOD AID TO THE NICARAGUAN PEOPLE.—In cooperation with 
Cardinal Miguel Obando y Bravo and private and voluntary 
organizations, the President should explore and promote means for 
providing food aid to the Nicaraguan people through private and 
voluntary organizations and the Catholic Church.

for education or training programs in South Africa may not be used 
for programs conducted by or through organizations in South Africa 
which are financed or controlled by the Government of South 
Africa, such as the "homeland" and "urban council" authorities. 
Such funds may only be used for programs which in both their 
character and organizational sponsorship in South Africa clearly 
reflect the objective of a majority of South Africans for an end to the 
apartheid system of separate development. Nothing in this subsec-
tion shall be construed to prohibit programs which are consistent 
with this subsection and which award university scholarships to 
students 
who choose to attend

ter 4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for each of the 
fiscal years 1986 and 1987, not less than 35 percent shall be used for 
direct legal and other assistance to political detainees and prisoners 
and their families, including the investigation of the killing of 
protestors and prisoners, and for support for actions of black-led 
community organizations to resist, through non-violent means, the 
enforcement of apartheid policies such as— 
(1) removal of black populations from certain geographic 
areas on account of race or ethnic origin, 
(2) denationalization of blacks, including any distinctions be-
tween the South African citizenships of blacks and whites, 
(3) residence restrictions based on race or ethnic origin, 
(4) restrictions on the rights of blacks to seek employment in 
South Africa and live wherever they find employment in South 
Africa, and 
(5) restrictions which make it impossible for black employees 
and their families to be housed in family accommodations near 
their place of employment. 
SEC. 803. POLICY TOWARD SOUTH AFRICAN "HOMELANDS". 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
(1) the sanctity of the family, individual liberty, maximum 
freedom of choice, ownership of private property, and equal 
treatment of all citizens, regardless of race, are principles which 
are fully supported by the American people; 
(2) the forced relocation of blacks by the Government of the 
Republic of South Africa to designated "homelands" divides 
families, as families are required to remain in the "homelands" 
while fathers seek work in the so-called "white areas"; 
(3) the forced removal of persons living in so-called "black 
spots" in "white" rural areas in South Africa denies them the 
fundamental right to live and to farm on land they have legally 
occupied for years, and subjects them to arbitrary arrest and 
detention when they seek these rights; 
(4) compared to white" South Africa, the designated "home-
lands", which are meant to accommodate the largest South 
African population group on a fraction of South African terri-

tory and were established without the consent of the vast 
majority of the governed, are characterized by high rates of 
infant mortaUty, unemployment, and malnutrition and by a 
severe shortage of medical services; 
(5) the policy of the Government of the Republic of South 
Africa denies blacks their rightful claim to full South African 
citizenship; and 
(6) the recent violence in South Africa must be seen as an 
inevitable result of the denial of the full rights of citizenship. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that— 
(1) the policy of separate development and the forced reloca-
tion of the people of the Republic of South Africa are inconsist-
ent with fundamental American values and internationally 
recognized principles of human rights; 
(2) the Government of the United States should continue to 
regard as citizens of South Africa all persons born within the 
internationally recognized boundaries of the Republic of South 
Africa, and not differentiate among these citizens on the basis of 
the South African Government's claim to have granted 
independence to various "homelands"; 
(3) at such times that any "homeland" official applies for a 
visa for travel to the United States, such visa should not be 
granted unless that official holds a passport which is recognized 
as valid by the Government of the United States; and 
(4) the Government of the United States should urge that the 
forced relocation of South African citizens be discontinued and 
that policies be adopted for all South Africa's citizens which 
protect the sanctity of the family, individual liberty, maximum 
freedom of choice, ownership of private property, and equal 
treatment of all citizens, regardless of race.

SEC. 805. ASSISTANCE FOR TUNISIA. 
(a) PoucY CONCERNING SECURITY ASSISTANCE.—The United States 
provides security assistance to Tunisia in recognition of the tradi-
tional friendship between the United States and Tunisia and our 
common interests in the region. The provision of such assistance is 
also based on the expectation that political stability and develop-
ment in Tunisia will be best advanced through continued growth of 
democratic institutions.

SEC. 806. POLITICAL SETTLEMENT IN SUDAN. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
(1) friendship and mutual interests bind the United States 
and Sudan; and 
(2) the peace, security, and economic development of Sudan 
depend in large part on addressing the problems associated vdth 
the traditional north-south division in that country through 
political rather than military means. 
(b) UNITED STATES POLICY.—It is, therefore, the policy of the 
United States that the provision of security assistance to Sudan 
shall be based on the expectation that the Government of Sudan will 
make progress toward reaching a political settlement with all par-
ties to the conflict in the south of Sudan. 
SEC. 807. ELECTIONS IN LIBERIA. 
In recognition of the special relationship that the United States 
has with Liberia and of the wide variety of interests that the United 
States has in Liberia, security assistance for Liberia for fiscal years 
1986 and 1987 is based on the expectation of a successful completion 
of free and fair elections, on a multiparty basis, in October 1985 as 
proposed by the Government of Liberia and on a return to full 
civilian, constitutional rule as a consequence of those elections. 
SEC. 808. WESTERN SAHARA. 
(a) UNITED STATES POLICY.—The policy of the United States shall 
be to support a negotiated political solution to the conflict in the 
Western Sahara taking into account the principle of self-determina-
tion as outlined in the 1981 Nairobi resolution and to encourage all 
parties to the conflict to reach a peaceful internationally recognized 
settlement. As part of this policy, the United States should carefully 
consider each type of military assistance it furnishes to any of the 
parties to the conflict and should seek to insure that the furnishing 
of such military assistance is consistent with United States policy 
which seeks a negotiated settlement. 
(b) FURTHER STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the further policy of the 
United States to support Morocco's legitimate defense needs and to 
discourage aggression by any country in North Africa against 
another.

SEC. 812. FAILURE OF THE ETHIOPIAN GOVERNMENT TO RESPONSIBLY 
AMELIORATE FAMINE CONDITIONS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
(1) many thousands of Ethiopian people have suffered and 
died, and an additional ten million people are in danger of 
death, through starvation caused by prolonged drought; 
(2) the Government of the United States has a continuing 
commitment to the emergency fund under title II of the Agricul-
tural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954 (the Food 
7 use 1721. 
For Peace Act); 
(3) United States emergency food assistance for Africa in 
fiscal year 1985 is more than twice the amount provided in 
fiscal year 1984, and is the largest amount contributed by any 
single donor; 
(4) the Ethiopian Government, as a client state of the Soviet 
Union, has considered the equipage and modernization of its 
five hundred thousand-person military organization more vital 
than alleviating the suffering of its people caused by drought; 
(5) the Ethiopian Government has considered the funding of 
its military organization more vital than promoting a viable 
national agrarian policy; 
(6) there is evidence that the Government of Ethiopia has 
used the drought-caused famine to induce cooperation from 
certain dedicated Ethiopians who seek to bring about fun-
damental changes in their country; 
(7) the United States Government is concerned about the 
seizure by the Ethiopian Government of an Australian aid ship 
in an attempt to cut off food to its citizens in the northern 
regions, an area most severely stricken by famine; and 
PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
99 STAT. 265 
(8) the Ethiopian Government deems the appearance and 
status of its socialist system more worthy of attention than its 
citizens and agricultural policies in need. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that— 
(1) the Government of Ethiopia should be condemned for 
failing in its responsibility to sufficiently ameliorate the severe 
drought and famine conditions throughout its agrarian country-
side; 
(2) the Government of Ethiopia should allocate more of its 
resources toward the development of a more balanced and 
effective agrarian system; 
(3) human rights monitoring groups can be a positive force for Human rights. 
human rights in Ethiopia and should be allowed to function and 
should be supported; 
(4) the Government of Ethiopia should initiate a genuine 
policy of national reconciliation; 
(5) the continued improvement of Ethiopia's treatment of the Human rights. 
Ethiopian people and respect for human rights would better 
relations between the United States and Ethiopia; 
(6) the President or his representatives should convey to 
Ethiopian officials the concerns of the Congress expressed in 
this section at every opportunity; and 
(7) the President or his representatives should also convey 
these concerns of the Congress to the governments of United 
States allies and urge the cooperation of those governments in 
efforts to ensure a more responsible Ethiopian Government. 
(c) PROHIBITION ON IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.—(1) The President shall 
President of U.S. 
determine, within 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, Human rights. 
whether the Ethiopian regime is conducting a deliberate policy of 
starvation of its people and has not granted fundamental human 
rights to its citizens. The President shall submit that determination, 
and the basis for that determination, to the Congress. 
(2) If the President determines that such a policy is being con-
ducted and that such rights are not being granted, paragraph (3) 
shall take effect if the Congress enacts a joint resolution approving 
that determination. 
(3) If the conditions specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) are met— 
(A) goods and services of Ethiopian origin may not be im-
ported into the United States; and 
(B) except for emergency relief, rehabilitation, and recovery 
assistance, goods and services of United States origin may not 
be exported (directly or indirectly) to Ethiopia. 
(d) PROHIBITION ON ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE.—The President shall

Ethiopia. This section shall not be construed to prevent the furnish-
ing of international disaster assistance under section 491 of the

racy in the Philippines. To that end, the Congress affirms its

(b) PRIMARY PURPOSE OF UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE.—The Con-
gress finds and declares that the primary purpose of United States 
assistance to the Philippines should be to maintain and foster 
friendly relations between the people of the Philippines and the 
people of the United States and to encourage the restoration of 
internal security, both of which goals can be best served by the 
achievement of an open and stable democracy. 
(c) CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT.—The Congress, in determining 
future aid levels for the Philippines, will take into account not only 
our military bases agreement with that country, but also the extent 
to which the objectives and goals specified in subsections (a) and (b)

SEC. 907. POLITICAL SETTLEMENT IN SRI LANKA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
(1) the Government and people of Sri Lanka and the Govern-
ment and people of the United States share a common devotion 
to independence, democracy, and human rights; 
(2) the United States is concerned over the armed clashes 
between the security forces of the Government of Sri Lanka and 
some Sri Lankans who seek through violent means, including 
terrorist attacks, to divide that nation; 
(3) there have been acts of terrorism committed against mem-
bers of the Sri Lankan security forces, as well as against 
civilians, and there have been human rights abuses by members 
of the security forces against civilians, particularly Tamils, 
despite the efforts of the Government, which the Congress 
believes must be intensified, to put an end to those abuses; 
(4) the differences and grievances in Sri Lanka cannot be 
resolved through the use of force; and 
(5) the United States is a proud participant through its eco-
nomic assistance programs in Sri Lanka's highly regarded 
development efforts and looks forward to enhanced cooperation 
and assistance in the context of a political settlement in Sri 
Lanka leading to the kind of peaceful climate in which addi-
tional aid could be effectively utilized. 
(b) POLITICAL SETTLEMENT.—It is, therefore, the sense of the Con-
gress that— 
(1) all parties in Sri Lanka, from all communities in and out 
of government, should renew their efforts to achieve a joint 
political settlement which meets the legitimate concerns of all 
the people of Sri Lanka, while preserving the territorial inttjg-
rity of Sri Lanka; and 
(2) all parties outside Sri Lanka should do nothing which 
would impede progress toward such a settlement. 
SEC. 908. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
(1) the Government of the Republic of Korea has taken sev-
eral significant and encouraging steps in liberalizing the politi-
cal system in that country; 
(2) among the steps which have facilitated a more democratic 
environment are the release of hundreds of student demonstra-
tors, the lifting of a political ban on more than 300 opposition 
leaders, and the holding of a vigorously contested election for 
the National Assembly in which the opposition made substan-
tial gains; 
(3) despite these steps, the people of the Republic of Korea, 
who have become increasingly better educated and prosperous 
as a result of Korea's extraordinarily rapid economic develop-
ment, have the desire and the capability to participate more 
99 STAT. 270 
PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 
fully and effectively in the government of their own country; 
and 
(4) while internationally recognized human rights are clearly 
respected much more in the Republic of Korea than in the
