 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Declares that the President should instruct the Department of State to convey to the Government in exile of the Emirate of Kuwait the view that reconstruction activity in Kuwait should reflect the troop commitment of allied forces in Operation Desert Shield and that the contract percentage should be acknowledged, adjusted, and used by the Kuwaitis in their award process.
