                 TITLE XVII--EUROPEAN SECURITY ACT OF 1998

SEC. 1701. SHORT TITLE.

     This title may be cited as the `European Security Act of 1998'.

SEC. 1702. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

     (a) POLICY WITH RESPECT TO NATO ENLARGEMENT- Congress urges the
     President to outline a clear and complete strategic rationale for the
     enlargement of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and
     declares that--

          (1) Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic should not be the
          last emerging democracies in Central and Eastern Europe invited
          to join NATO;

          (2) the United States should ensure that NATO continues a process
          whereby all other emerging democracies in Central and Eastern
          Europe that wish to join NATO will be considered for membership
          in NATO as soon as they meet the criteria for such membership;

          (3) the United States should ensure that no limitations are
          placed on the numbers of NATO troops or types of equipment,
          including tactical nuclear weapons, to be deployed on the
          territory of new member states;

          (4) the United States should reject all efforts to condition NATO
          decisions on review or approval by the United Nations Security
          Council;

          (5) the United States should clearly delineate those NATO
          deliberations, including but not limited to discussions on arms
          control, further Alliance enlargement, procurement matters, and
          strategic doctrine, that are not subject to review or discussion
          in the NATO-Russia Permanent Joint Council;

          (6) the United States should work to ensure that countries
          invited to join the Alliance are provided an immediate seat in
          NATO discussions; and

          (7) the United States already pays more than a proportionate
          share of the costs of the common defense of Europe and should
          obtain, in advance, agreement on an equitable distribution of the
          cost of NATO enlargement to ensure that the United States does
          not continue to bear a disproportionate burden.

     (b) POLICY WITH RESPECT TO NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA-

          (1) IMPLEMENTATION- NATO enlargement should be carried out in
          such a manner as to underscore the Alliance's defensive nature
          and demonstrate to Russia that NATO enlargement will enhance the
          security of all countries in Europe, including Russia.
          Accordingly, the United States and its NATO allies should make
          this intention clear in negotiations with Russia, including
          negotiations regarding adaptation of the Conventional Armed
          Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty of November 19, 1990.

          (2) LIMITATIONS ON COMMITMENTS TO RUSSIA- In seeking to
          demonstrate to Russia NATO's defensive and security-enhancing
          intentions, it is essential that neither fundamental United
          States security interests in Europe nor the effectiveness and
          flexibility of NATO as a defensive alliance be jeopardized. In
          particular, no commitments should be made to Russia that would
          have the effect of--

               (A) extending rights or imposing responsibilities on new
               NATO members different from those applicable to current NATO
               members, including rights or responsibilities with respect
               to the deployment of nuclear weapons and the stationing of
               troops and equipment from other NATO members;

               (B) limiting the ability of NATO to defend the territory of
               new NATO members by, for example, restricting the
               construction of defense infrastructure or limiting the
               ability of NATO to deploy necessary reinforcements;

               (C) providing any international organization, or any country
               that is not a member of NATO, with authority to delay, veto,
               or otherwise impede deliberations and decisions of the North
               Atlantic Council or the implementation of such decisions,
               including deliberations and decisions with respect to the
               deployment of NATO forces or the admission of additional
               members to NATO;

               (D) impeding the development of enhanced relations between
               NATO and other European countries that do not belong to the
               Alliance;

               (E) establishing a nuclear weapons-free zone in Central or
               Eastern Europe;

               (F) requiring NATO to subsidize Russian arms sales, service,
               or support to the militaries of those former Warsaw Pact
               countries invited to join the Alliance; or

               (G) legitimizing Russian efforts to link concessions in arms
               control negotiations to NATO enlargement.

          (3) COMMITMENTS FROM RUSSIA- In order to enhance security and
          stability in Europe, the United States should seek commitments
          from Russia--

               (A) to demarcate and respect all its borders with
               neighboring states;

               (B) to achieve the immediate and complete withdrawal of any
               armed forces and military equipment under the control of
               Russia that are deployed on the territories of the
               independent states of the former Soviet Union without the
               full and complete agreement of those states;

               (C) to station its armed forces on the territory of other
               states only with the full and complete agreement of that
               state and in strict accordance with international law; and

               (D) to take steps to reduce further its nuclear and
               conventional forces in Kaliningrad.

          (4) CONSULTATIONS- As negotiations on adaptation of the Treaty on
          Conventional Armed Forces in Europe proceed, the United States
          should engage in close and continuous consultations not only with
          its NATO allies, but also with the emerging democracies of
          Central and Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and the South Caucasus.

     (c) POLICY WITH RESPECT TO BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATION-

          (1) IN GENERAL- As the United States proceeds with efforts to
          develop defenses against ballistic missile attack, it should seek
          to foster a climate of cooperation with Russia on matters related
          to missile defense. In particular, the United States and its NATO
          allies should seek to cooperate with Russia in such areas as
          early warning.

          (2) DISCUSSIONS WITH NATO ALLIES- The United States should
          initiate discussions with its NATO allies for the purpose of
          examining the feasibility of deploying a ballistic missile
          defense capable of protecting NATO's southern and eastern flanks
          from a limited ballistic missile attack.

          (3) CONSTITUTIONAL PREROGATIVES- Even as the Congress seeks to
          promote ballistic missile defense cooperation with Russia, it
          must insist on its constitutional prerogatives regarding
          consideration of arms control agreements with Russia that bear on
          ballistic missile defense.

     Conventional Armed Forces in Europe will be approved for entry into
     force with respect to the United States that jeopardize fundamental
     United States security interests in Europe or the effectiveness and
     flexibility of NATO as a defensive alliance by--

          (1) extending rights or imposing responsibilities on new NATO
          members different from those applicable to current NATO members,
          including rights or responsibilities with respect to the
          deployment of nuclear weapons and the stationing of troops and

          Document, the President submits for Senate advice and consent to

               Treaty, or otherwise modify the meaning of the term
               `national territory' as used in Article VI and Article IX of

          entry into force with respect to the United States.

SEC. 1807. REPORT ON AN ALLIANCE AGAINST NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING IN THE
WESTERN HEMISPHERE.

     (a) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS ON DISCUSSIONS FOR ALLIANCE-

          (1) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS- It is the sense of the Congress that
          the President should discuss with the democratically-elected
          governments of the Western Hemisphere, the prospect of forming a
          multilateral alliance to address problems relating to
          international drug trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.

          (2) CONSULTATIONS- In the consultations on the prospect of
          forming an alliance described in paragraph (1), the President
          should seek the input of such governments on the possibility of
          forming one or more structures within the alliance--

               (A) to develop a regional, multilateral strategy to address
               the threat posed to nations in the Western Hemisphere by
               drug trafficking; and

               (B) to establish a new mechanism for improving multilateral
               coordination of drug interdiction and drug-related law
               enforcement activities in the Western Hemisphere.

     (b) REPORT-

          (1) REQUIREMENT- Not later than 60 days after the date of the
          enactment of this Act, the President shall submit to Congress a
          report on the proposal discussed under subsection (a). The report
          shall include the following:

               (A) An analysis of the reactions of the governments
               concerned to the proposal.

               (B) An assessment of the proposal, including an evaluation
               of the feasibility and advisability of forming the alliance.

               (C) A determination in light of the analysis and assessment
               whether or not the formation of the alliance is in the
               national interests of the United States.

               (D) If the President determines that the formation of the
               alliance is in the national interests of the United States,
               a plan for encouraging and facilitating the formation of the
               alliance.

               (E) If the President determines that the formation of the

               in the Western Hemisphere, including an explanation of how

                    of counter-drug efforts among nations in the Western
                    Hemisphere;

                    (ii) provide for the allocation of the resources
                    required to make significant progress in disrupting and
                    disbanding the criminal organizations responsible for
                    the trafficking of illegal drugs in the Western
                    Hemisphere; and

                    (iii) differ from and improve upon past strategies
                    adopted by the United States Government which have
                    failed to make sufficient progress against the
                    trafficking of illegal drugs in the Western Hemisphere.

          (2) UNCLASSIFIED FORM- The report under paragraph (1) shall be
          submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a classified

SEC. 1808. CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE ACCESSION OF TAIWAN TO THE
WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION.

     (a) FINDINGS- The Congress makes the following findings:

          (1) The people of the United States and the people of the
          Republic of China on Taiwan have long enjoyed extensive ties.

          (2) Taiwan is currently the 8th largest trading partner of the
          United States.

          (3) The executive branch of Government has committed publicly to
          support Taiwan's bid to join the World Trade Organization and has
          declared that the United States will not oppose this bid solely
          on the grounds that the People's Republic of China, which also
          seeks membership in the World Trade Organization, is not yet
          eligible because of its unacceptable trade practices.

          (4) The United States and Taiwan have concluded discussions on a
          variety of outstanding trade issues that remain unresolved with
          the People's Republic of China and that are necessary for the
          United States to support Taiwan's membership in the World Trade
          Organization.

          (5) The reversion of control over Hong Kong--a member of the
          World Trade Organization--to the People's Republic of China in
          many respects affords to the People's Republic of China the
          practical benefit of membership in the World Trade Organization
          for a substantial portion of its trade in goods despite the fact
          that the trade practices of the People's Republic of China
          currently fall far short of what the United States expects for
          membership in the World Trade Organization.

          (6) The executive branch of Government has announced its interest
          in the admission of the People's Republic of China to the World
          Trade Organization; the fundamental sense of fairness of the
          people of the United States warrants the United States
          Government's support for Taiwan's relatively more meritorious
          application for membership in the World Trade Organization.

          (7) Despite having made significant progress in negotiations for
          its accession to the World Trade Organization, Taiwan has yet to
          offer acceptable terms of accession in agricultural and certain
          other market sectors.

          (8) It is in the economic interest of United States consumers and
          exporters for Taiwan to complete those requirements for accession
          to the World Trade Organization at the earliest possible moment.

     (b) CONGRESSIONAL STATEMENT- The Congress favors public support by
     officials of the Department of State for the accession of Taiwan to
     the World Trade Organization.

SEC. 1814. DEVELOPMENT OF DEMOCRACY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA.

     (a) FINDINGS- Congress makes the following findings:

          (1) The United States stands as the beacon of democracy and
          freedom in the world.

          (2) A stable and democratic Republic of Serbia is important to
          the interests of the United States, the international community,
          and to peace in the Balkans.

          (3) Democratic forces in the Republic of Serbia are beginning to
          emerge, notwithstanding the efforts of Europe's longest-standing
          communist dictator, Slobodan Milosevic.

          (4) The Serbian authorities have sought to continue to hinder the
          growth of free and independent news media in the Republic of
          Serbia, in particular the broadcast news media, and have harassed
          journalists performing their professional duties.

          (5) Under Slobodan Milosevic, the political opposition in Serbia
          has been denied free, fair, and equal opportunity to participate
          in the democratic process.

     (b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS- It is the sense of the Congress that--

          (1) the United States, the international community,
          nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector should
          continue to promote the building of democratic institutions and
          civic society in the Republic of Serbia, help strengthen the
          independent news media, and press for the Government of the
          Republic of Serbia to respect the rule of law; and

          (2) the normalization of relations between the `Federal Republic
          of Yugoslavia' (Serbia and Montenegro) and the United States
          requires, among other things, that President Milosevic and the
          leadership of Serbia--

               (A) promote the building of democratic institutions,
               including strengthening the independent news media and
               respecting the rule of law;

               (B) promote the respect for human rights throughout the
               `Federal Republic of Yugoslavia' (Serbia and Montenegro);
               and

               (C) promote and encourage free, fair, and equal conditions
               for the democratic opposition in Serbia.

               except where the life of the mother would be endangered if
               the pregnancy were carried to term or in cases of forcible
               rape or incest.

               `(B) Subparagraph (A) may not be construed to apply to the

          or governmental policies of any foreign country concerning the
          circumstances under which abortion is permitted, regulated, or
          prohibited.

          `(B) Subparagraph (A) shall not apply to activities in opposition
          to coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization.

          or through a subcontractor or subgrantee.'.

     (b) Section 301 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended by

     OF CHINA- Notwithstanding section 614 of this Act or any other

          of China, and the United States has received assurances that
          UNFPA will conduct no such activities during the fiscal year for
          which the funds are to be made available; or

          `(2) during the 12 months preceding such certification there have
          been no abortions as the result of coercion associated with the
          family planning policies of the national government or other
          governmental entities within the People's Republic of China.

     As used in this section, the term `coercion' includes physical duress
     or abuse, destruction or confiscation of property, loss of means of
     livelihood, or severe psychological pressure.'.

     (c) The President may waive the provisions of section 104(h)(1) of the
     Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, pertaining to population
     assistance to foreign organizations that perform abortions in foreign
