Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Declares that it is the sense of the Congress that: (1) continued whaling and commercialization of whale meat are a violation of the International Whaling Commission moratorium; (2) the Secretary of Commerce should certify any nation for continued whaling activities rejected as scientifically invalid by the Commission; (3) the President should order an embargo on a significant quantity of fishery products from nations found to be diminishing the effectiveness of the International Whaling Convention; (4) the President should use all diplomatic tools to convince whaling nations to comply with decisions of the Commission; and (5) the President should use all diplomatic tools to encourage support of Commission member nations for a long-term solution to problems before the Commission.
