Expresses the sense of the Senate that the United States, so long as Soviet and Cuban military forces occupy Angola, should encourage peace and national reconciliation in Angola through a negotiated settlement to the military conflict and stress the holding of free elections as outlined in the 1975 Alvor Agreement through: (1) support for Soviet and Cuban withdrawal and a negotiated peaceful settlement; and (2) consistent efforts by the President and the Secretary of State to convey to the Soviets that their continued presence in Angola hinders future U.S.-Soviet relations.
Requests the President to use his authorities under the Export Administration Act to block U.S. business transactions which conflict with U.S. security interests in Angola.
Expresses the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of State should: (1) review U.S. policy with respect to the U.S. refusal to recognize the Marxist Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the human rights record of the MPLA, and the worst 1985 voting record supporting U.S. interests in the United Nations; and (2) transmit to the Congress a report on the U.S. policy review, together with a determination on the current U.S. trade and business policy with respect to Angola.
Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
