Q: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the ''Saffron Revolution Support Act of
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.

technical or business school, offering postsecondary level
academic instruction that leads to an associate or higher
degree if the school is empowered by the appropriate State
educational authority under State law to grant an associate or
higher degree. When there is no State law to authorize the
granting of a degree, the school may be recognized as an
institution of higher learning if it is accredited for degree
programs by a recognized accrediting agency. Such term shall
also include a hospital offering educational programs at the
post-secondary level without regard to whether the hospital
grants a postsecondary degree. Such term shall also include an
educational institution which is not located in a State, which
offers a course leading to a standard college degree, or the
equivalent, and which is recognized as such by the Secretary of
Education (or comparable official) of the country or other
jurisdiction in which the institution is located.
(7) The term ''standard college degree'' means an associate
or higher degree awarded by--
(A) an institution of higher learning that is
accredited as a collegiate institution by a recognized
regional or national accrediting agency;
(B) an institution of higher learning that is a
''candidate'' for accreditation as that term is used by
the regional or national accrediting agencies; or
(C) an institution of higher learning upon
completion of a course which is accredited by an agency
recognized to accredit specialized degree-level
programs. For the purpose of this section, the
accrediting agency must be one recognized by the
Secretary of Education under the provisions of section
1775 of this title 38.
