A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate regarding the policy of the United States at the 50th Annual Meeting of the International Whaling Commission.

Expresses the sense of the Senate that the United States, at the 50th Annual Meeting of the International Whaling Commission in Oman, should: (1) remain firmly opposed to commercial whaling; (2) initiate and support efforts to ensure that all activities conducted under reservations to the Commission's moratorium or sanctuaries are ceased; (3) oppose the lethal taking of whales for scientific purposes unless specifically authorized by the Commission's scientific committee; (4) seek the Commission's support for specific efforts by member nations to end illegal trade in whale meat; and (5) support the permanent protection of whale populations through the establishment of whale sanctuaries in which commercial whaling is prohibited.

Urges the United States to make full use of all appropriate mechanisms to implement such goals.
