text: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
  
      The Congress makes the following findings:
              (1) Although a 1991 Sudanese criminal law prohibited 
          abduction, kidnapping, forced labor, unlawful confinement, and 
          unlawful detention, and although Sudan categorically denies the 
          practice of slavery in Sudan, slavery continues unabated in 
          Sudan.
              (2) The United States Department of State's Country Human 
          Rights Report for 1995 noted that ``government forces carried 
          out massacres, extrajudicial kidnapping, forced labor, and 
          slavery'' in Sudan.
              (3) Amnesty International reports that the Government of 
          Sudan abducted women and children from Northern Bahr al-Ghazal 
          and the Nuba Mountains and during one of the raids of April and 
          May of 1995 in the Babanusa to Wau area, 500 women and 150 
          children were taken as slaves.
              (4) In April 1996, a report by the United Nations Special 
          Representative for Sudan, Gaspar Biro, reported ``an alarming 
          increase in cases of slavery, servitude, slave trade and forced 
          labor''. The taking of slaves, particularly in war zones, and 
          their export to parts of central and northern Sudan, continues 
          in Sudan.
              (5) Amnesty International reports that Sudan is party to 
          the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the 
          African Charter on Human and People's Rights, the Slavery 
          Convention, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Yet, 
          despite being a party to these agreements, slavery still exists 
          in Sudan.
  
  SEC. 2. PROHIBITION OF ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE, MILITARY ASSISTANCE, OR 
                ARMS TRANSFERS TO THE GOVERNMENT OF SUDAN AND THE

  action to eliminate chattel slavery in Sudan, including--
              (1) the enactment of antislavery laws that provide 
          appropriate punishment for violators of such laws; and
              (2) the rigorous enforcement of such laws.
      (b) Prohibition on Assistance to Governments of Certain Other 
  Foreign Countries.--The President may not provide economic assistance, 
  military assistance, or arms transfers to the government of any foreign
