[The text of H. Con. Res. 180, as introduced in the house, fol- lows:] 11 103d congress 2d Sessi...on H. CON. RES. 180 IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES February 23 (legislative day, February 22), 1994 Received; read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of the Congress with respect to the South Pacific region.
\Miereas the United States has strong and enduring eco- nomic, political, and strategic ties with the South Pacific region, which are integral to the achievement of a New Pacific Community; Wliereas the countries of the region play a constructive inter- national role, were supportive of the United States throughout the Cold War and continue to support its role in ensuring regional stability and security, and share a commitment to democratic values, free-markets, and human rights; 12 Whereas the United States is geographically and historically a member of the Pacific community and has unique rela- tionships with, and responsibilities to, its Pacific Island territories, fi*eely associated states, and former territories; Whereas the United States has significant and expanding commercial interests in the South Pacific and eryoys a substantial trade surplus with countries of the region, and the promotion of commercial links between the United States and countries of the region is welcomed as providing a necessary foundation for future economic well-being; Whereas the region's fisheries resources are of vital impor- tance to the economic well-being of Pacific Island coun- tries and have provided lucrative commercial opportuni- ties for the United States fishing industry, and the effec- tive management of these resources and the continued functioning of the South Pacific Fisheries Treaty are essential; Whereas the United States has been welcomed as a member of South Pacific regional organizations, including the South Pacific Commission and the South Pacific Re- gional Environmental Program, and as a dialogue part- ner of the South Pacific Forum; Wliereas environmental issues can bear directly on the eco- nomic and physical security of countries in the South Pa- cific region, have the potential to effect the well-being of United States citizens in the Pacific region, and can only be dealt A\ith effectively at the regional and global level; Wliereas peoples of the South Pacific have actively contrib- uted to the development of a peaceful international com- munity through their constructive participation in inter- 13 national forums, including the United Nations and its peacekeeping operations, and through support for the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone, the Treaty on the Non- Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and the Chemical Weapons Convention; Whereas United States leadership in extending its nuclear testing moratorium is warmly welcomed by countries of the South Pacific, and countries of the South Pacific have shown understanding for United States efforts to dispose of its chemical weapons stockpile while emphasiz- ing the importance of the United States commitment to close the Johnston Atoll Chemical Agent Destruction System when the current program of chemical weapons and agent destruction is completed; Whereas there has been only one Heads-of-Govemment sum- mit involving the President of the United States and Pacific Island leaders, and there is considerable value in dialogue at a senior political level with all countries of the region; Wliereas the United States has reduced its diplomatic pres- ence in the South Pacific to a minimum, the Agency for International Development is closing posts in the region, and the current very modest program of United States foreign assistance to Pacific Island countries may be re- duced; and Wliereas the United States has an opportunity to bolster its links ^^^th the Pacific Island countries through the nego- tiation of a Joint Declaration of Cooperation: Now, there- fore, be it 1 Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate 2 concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that — 14 1 (1) it is in the national interest for the United 2 States to remain actively engaged in the South Pa- 3 cific region as a means of supporting the important 4 United States commercial and strategic interests, 5 and to encourage the consolidation of democratic 6 values; 7 (2) the United States should encourage eco- 8 nomic, trade, and investment relationships with the 9 countries of the South Pacific, in particular through 10 the Joint Commercial Commission and its working 11 group, and through other Asia/Pacific regional 12 forums; 13 (3) the United States should seek to maintain 14 its diplomatic presence in the South Pacific region; 15 (4) notwithstanding current fiscal constraints, 16 the executive branch, particularly the Department of 17 State, should work actively with the Congress to 18 continue the very modest levels of foreign assistance 19 provided to the region and to encourage the active 20 participation in the region of other international 21 donors; 22 (5) the United States has interests in preserv- 23 ing the natural resources and biodiversity of the 24 South Pacific region, and is uniquely positioned to 25 promote sustainable development through active par- 15 1 ticipation in the South Pacific Regional Environ- 2 mental Program and the United Nations Global 3 Conference for the Sustainable Development of 4 Small Island States and through implementation of 5 the Biodiversity and Climate Conventions; 6 (6) the United States should cooperate closely 7 with regional governments to strengthen sustainable 8 management principles and practices as they apply 9 to the region's fisheries resources; 10 (7) the United States should avail itself of the 11 opportunity for contact with leaders of all South 12 Pacific countries through regular Ministerial/Cabinet 13 level meetings, including at the South Pacific Forum 14 dialogue, to ensure that the views of regional govem- 15 ments are given consideration in policy deliberations; 16 and 17 (8) the United States should take an active in- 18 terest in the proposed Joint Declaration of Coopera- 19 tion bet\veen the United States and certain Pacific 20 Island governments as an opportunity for the United 21 States to renew its commitment to the region.
