(1) the Government and people of Sri Lanka and the Government and people of the United States share a common devotion to independence, democracy, and human rights;

(2) the United States is concerned over the armed clashes between the security forces of the Government of Sri Lanka and some Sri Lankans who seek through violent means, including terrorist attacks, to divide that nation;

(3) there have been acts of terrorism committed against members of the Sri Lankan security forces, as well as against civilians, and there have been human rights abuses by members of the security forces against civilians, particularly Tamils, despite the efforts of the Government, which the Congress believes must be intensified, to put an end to those abuses:

(4) the differences and grievances in Sri Lanka cannot be resolved through the use of force; and

(5) the United States is a proud participant through its economic assistance programs in Sri Lanka's highly regarded development efforts and looks forward to enhanced cooperation and assistance in the context of a political settlement in Sri Lanka leading to the kind of peaceful climate in which additional aid could be effectively utilized.

(b) POLITICAL SETTLEMENT.-It is, therefore, the sense of the Congress that

(1) all parties in Sri Lanka, from all communities in and out of government, should renew their efforts to achieve a joint political settlement which meets the legitimate concerns of all the people of Sri Lanka, while preserving the territorial integrity of Sri Lanka; and

(2) all parties outside Sri Lanka should do nothing which would impede progress toward such a settlement.

SEC. 908. UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA. (a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that

(1) the Government of the Republic of Korea has taken several significant and encouraging steps in liberalizing the political system in that country;

(2) among the steps which have facilitated a more democratic environment are the release of hundreds of student demonstra

tors, the lifting of a political ban on more than 300 opposition leaders, and the holding of a vigorously contested election for the National Assembly in which the opposition made substantial gains;

(3) despite these steps, the people of the Republic of Korea, who have become increasingly better educated and prosperous as a result of Korea's extraordinarily rapid economic development, have the desire and the capability to participate more fully and effectively in the government of their own country; and

(4) while internationally recognized human rights are clearly respected much more in the Republic of Korea than in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, continued progress toward democratization in the south is in the interests of both the Republic of Korea and the United States, inasmuch as long-term political stability cannot be assured in the absence of further progress towards democratic government.

(b) UNITED STATES POLICY.-It is the policy of the United States to provide assistance to the Republic of Korea in order to help that country defend itself against external aggression. It is the hope of the United States that the continuing close relations between our two countries, including such assistance, will encourage the establishment of a genuinely democratic system in the Republic of Korea, in which internationally recognized human rights, including freedom of the press, freedom of association, and freedom of assembly are observed.

SEC. 1206. EGYPTIAN-ISRAELI RELATIONS.
