TITLE VII

-OTHER PROVISIONS

The Congress finds that--
(1) recent developments in Russia and the other independent states of the
former Soviet Union present an historic opportunity for a transition to
a peaceful and stable international order and the integration of the
independent states of the former Soviet Union into the community of
democratic nations;
(2) the entire international community has a vital interest in the success
of this transition, and the dimension of the problems now faced in the
independent states of the former Soviet Union makes it imperative for donor
countries and institutions to provide the expertise and support necessary
to ensure continued progress on economic and political reforms;
(3) the United States is especially well-positioned because of its heritage
and traditions to make a substantial contribution to this transition by
building on current technical cooperation, medical, and food assistance
programs, by assisting in the development of democratic institutions,
and by fostering conditions that will encourage the United States business
community to engage in trade and investment;
(4) failure to meet the opportunities presented by these developments could
threaten United States national security interests and jeopardize substantial
savings in United States defense that these developments have made possible;
(5) the success of United States assistance depends on--
(A) effective coordination of United States efforts with similar activities
of friendly and allied donor countries and of international financial
institutions, and
(B) reciprocal commitments by the governments of the independent states
of the former Soviet Union to work toward the creation of democratic
institutions and an environment hospitable to foreign investment based
upon the rule of law, including negotiation of bilateral and multilateral
agreements on open trade and investment, adoption of commercial codes,
establishment of transparency in regulatory and other governmental decision
making, and timely payment of obligations carried over from previous
governmental entities;
(6) trade and investment opportunities in the independent states of the
former Soviet Union will generate employment and other economic benefits
for the United States as the economies of the independent states of the
former Soviet Union begin to realize their enormous potential as both
customers and suppliers; and
(7) the unprecedented pace and nature of events in the independent states
of the former Soviet Union require that the President be provided with
the authority to furnish United States assistance and resources flexibly
and expeditiously if the United States is to be able to support the
transformation of the independent states of the former Soviet Union to
democratic civil societies with market-oriented economies.

all affected independent states in order promptly to resolve all such

governmental entities in attempting to resolve ethnic conflicts within the
independent state and beyond its borders wherever ethnic groups with ties
to populations or subpopulations within its borders are affected;

AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS.
(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds that--
(1) in many areas of the world, nations may be experiencing substantial
difficulties in making the transitions to more open political and economic
systems;
(2) as an example, the study, entitled `The Economy of the U.S.S.R.', which
was prepared jointly by the International Monetary Fund, the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Organization for European
Cooperation and Development, and the European Bank for Reconstruction
and Development, found that substantial changes need to be made in the
economies of the independent states of the former Soviet Union to provide
a viable basis for monetary stability, economic growth, and development,
and such finding applies to other nations making the transitions to more
open political and economic systems; and
(3) these nations may be experiencing special difficulties in making
such transitions.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS- It is the sense of the Congress that--
(1) encouragement should be given to the efforts being made to address the
political and economic problems of nations making the transitions to more
open political and economic systems;
(2) consideration should be given to developing relationships between
such nations and the International Monetary Fund, the International Bank
for Reconstruction and Development, and the other international financial
institutions, as part of the process of assisting such nations in making
such transitions;
(3) continued United States support for the utilization of the resources of
such institutions should take into consideration the continuation of the
efforts of such nations to move toward more open economic and political
systems; and
(4) encouragement should be given to the efforts of such nations to
promote free enterprise, private property rights, a stable legal system,
a stable monetary system, and an open trading system, as steps in making
such transitions.

OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION.
(a) IN GENERAL- In order to promote macroeconomic stabilization and the
integration of the independent states of the former Soviet Union into the
international financial system, the United States should in appropriate
circumstances take a leading role in organizing and supporting multilateral
efforts aimed at macroeconomic stabilization and debt rescheduling,
conditioned on the appropriate development and implementation of
comprehensive economic reform programs.
(b) CURRENCY STABILIZATION- In furtherance of the purposes and consistent
with the conditions described in subsection (a), the Congress expresses its
support for United States participation, in sums of up to $3,000,000,000,
in a currency stabilization fund or funds for the independent states of
the former Soviet Union.
(c) STUDY OF THE NEED FOR AND FEASIBILITY OF A CURRENCY STABILIZATION FUND
FOR UKRAINE-
(1) FINDINGS- The Congress finds that--
(A) Ukraine is a nation of 52,000,000 people with a longstanding history of
seeking its sovereignty and national identity, which has recently attained
the status of an independent country;
(B) Ukraine's economy has the potential for development into an important
regional economy that can benefit all nations in the region;
(C) Ukraine has recently announced that it intends to introduce its own
currency as a means of continuing its drive toward economic development;
(D) assisting Ukraine with the introduction of its own currency is in the
best interests of the United States, since such assistance will increase
goodwill between Ukraine and the United States;
(E) assisting Ukraine with the introduction of its own currency and with the
development of its economy is also in the best interests of other nations,
since Ukraine's economy can act as an engine of economic growth for nations
in its region;
(F) establishing a currency stabilization fund for Ukraine may be as
necessary for the development of Ukraine's economy as the establishment of a
similar fund for Poland has been for the development of Poland's economy; and
(G) the International Monetary Fund recently provided valuable assistance
regarding currency stabilization measures to nations that have undertaken
a transition from a centrally planned economy to a market economy.
(2) STUDY OF THE NEED FOR AND FEASIBILITY OF A CURRENCY STABILIZATION FUND
FOR UKRAINE- The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the United States
Executive Director of the International Monetary Fund to use the voice and
vote of the United States to urge the Fund to conduct a study of the need
for and feasibility of a currency stabilization fund for Ukraine, and, if
it is found that such a fund is needed and is feasible, which considers and
makes recommendations with respect to the economic and policy conditions
required for the success of such a fund.

(a) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS- It is the sense of the Congress that
the International Finance Corporation can play an important role in
supporting the economic restructuring in the independent states of the
former Soviet Union necessary to move toward market economies. The United
States could play a critical role in enabling the International Finance
Corporation to leverage the contributions of donors and increase its
access to international capital markets, thereby promoting the success
of democracy and open markets in the independent states. Accordingly,
it is the sense of the Congress that the President should seek to ensure
that the International Finance Corporation provides ambitious lending and
investment programs for the independent states.

`(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds that--
`(1) at the Houston Economic Summit in July 1990, the heads of State and
Government of the 7 major industrial democracies and the President of the
Commission of the European Communities requested that the Fund, the Bank,
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the designated
president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, in close
consultation with the Commission of the European Communities, undertake a
detailed study of the Soviet economy, make recommendations for its reform,
and establish the criteria under which Western economic assistance could
effectively support such reforms;
`(2) in the resulting report, the organizations concluded that timely
technical assistance can play a major role in easing the transition to a
market economy, and that such technical assistance could be particularly
helpful in the fields of fiscal and monetary policies, foreign exchange
and banking, and the development of statistical and accounting systems;
`(3) technical assistance provided by the Bank should be coordinated
with the technical assistance provided by the private sectors of Western
countries so that technical assistance provided by the Bank complements
and enhances technical assistance provided by the private sector and other
international donors;
`(4) the provision of timely technical assistance can greatly facilitate
trade with and direct investment in the independent states of the former
Soviet Union; and
`(5) the provision of timely technical assistance by the Bank to the
independent states of the former Soviet Union can support democratic reforms,
respect for human rights, and the rule of law.

OF THE FORMER SOVIET UNION- The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct

Union in support of democratic reforms, human rights, the rule of law,

(a) FINDINGS- The Congress finds--

the destruction of weapons of mass destruction of the independent states of
the former Soviet Union and the reduction of the threat from such weapons
and the potential for their proliferation;
(2) that it is in the national security interests of the United States
to continue to reduce the threats from the huge weapons arsenals of the
former Soviet Union and to protect against the potential proliferation of
these weapons and the materials removed from them, as well as the potential
hazards resulting from the faulty storage of those weapons or materials; and
(3) that the threats to nuclear safety and security described in section
211 of the Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991 (title II of Public
Law 102-228; 105 Stat. 1693) remain of urgent concern and that additional
resources are necessary to meet these threats, particularly in areas such
as safe and secure storage of fissile material, dismantlement of missiles
and launchers, and the destruction of chemical weapons.
