 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) President Clinton and Secretary of State Christopher should be commended for their diplomatic efforts to encourage Arab League members to end the secondary and tertiary Arab League boycott of Israel; (2) they should give attention to diplomatic efforts to encourage those countries that were beneficiaries of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm to end such boycott; and (3) the United States should oppose Saudi Arabia's joining the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) until such time that it renounces its participation in the boycott and ensures that U.S. companies and other countries have access to the Saudi Arabia market regardless of their business relationship with Israel.
