Finally. Mr. Chairman. this amendment would require any arms sales notifications to Congress concerning the Peoples Republic of China to be accompanied by a Presidential determination that the Peoples Republic of China is "acting in good faith and in a timely manner to resolve human rights issues in Tibet". it would mandate a report from the Secretary of State on human rights in Tibet. and it reaffirms the program we passed last June to provide $200.000 for both fiscal years 1988 and 1989 for aid to Tibetan refugees and 15 USIA scholarships for Tibetan students. The ongoing crisis in Tibet is an issue that Congress is going to revisit for as long as necessary. What is at stake is the cultural and ethnic survival of a proud and ancient people.
