comments and recommendations concerning the report shall be submitted
to the Congressional defense committees, in classified and unclassified

(1) The relative merits and costs of continuing the Trident II missile
production versus the refurbishment of existing Trident I missiles, taking
into account such factors as inflation, appropriate regulations such as OMB
Circular A-94 and DOD Instruction 7041.3, refurbishment costs for the Trident
I that would be incurred anyway, the impact of the new START agreements,
refurbishment requirements of the Trident II, and other related factors.
(2) The relative merits and costs of continuing with current plans to
backfit the first eight Trident submarines with Trident II missiles
versus their continuation with Trident I missiles, taking into account
such factors as inflation, appropriate regulations such as OMB Circular
A-94 and DOD Instruction 7041.3, refurbishment costs for the Trident I
that would be incurred anyway, the impact of the new START agreements,
refurbishment requirements of the Trident II, and other related factors.
(3) The relative merits and costs of taking anticipated SLBM warhead
reductions under START in the following ways:
(A) by offloading individual warheads from missiles;
(B) by offloading missiles from submarines;
(C) by dismantling submarines;
(D) some combination of the above.
(4) Options for the United Kingdom to meet its strategic requirements in
a situation where the United States procurement of Trident II missiles is
terminated earlier than originally planned.
(5) The reasons why the costs stated for Trident I refurbishment are
substantially greater than Minutemen III refurbishment.
(6) The reasons why strategic missile flight testing rates are substantially
different for the Navy and Air Force, along with recommendations for
uniform testing rates.

SAUDI ARABIA.
(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds that--
(1) the Department of Commerce has identified `18 major unsettled cases,
involving 14 American firms with claims of approximately $500 million',
in Saudi Arabia in a letter dated May 27, 1992, to the House Subcommittee
on Europe and the Middle East;
(2) the Department has testified that many of these disputes `go back 8
to 10 years';
(3) the Department of Commerce has testified that `Saudi Arabia's commercial
law has not kept pace with its great economic strides. The Kingdom's
system of commercial regulation lacks an effective internationally accepted
mechanism to resolve disputes with foreign firms.';
(4) the Department of Commerce has testified that `The United States has
trading relationships with virtually all the nations in the Near East
region. The only country in which we encounter a continual problem with
unresolved commercial disputes is Saudi Arabia.'; and
(5) failure to resolve these contractual disputes results in great hardship
for the American businesses involved and their employees.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS- It is the sense of Congress that the Government of
the United States and the Government of Saudi Arabia should work diligently
and without delay to resolve satisfactorily the outstanding commercial
disputes identified in the Department of Commerce letter.
(c) REPORT- Not later than February 1, 1993, the Secretary of Defense, after
consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Commerce,
shall submit a report to the Congress on the status of the process for
the resolution of commercial disputes in Saudi Arabia and the prognosis
for any of the 18 such disputes which remain unresolved.
Attest:
Secretary.
