text: SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
  
      The Congress makes the following findings:
              (1) The Congress has previously directed the Secretary of 
          Defense to seek to enter into multiyear burden sharing support 
          agreements with economically strong North Atlantic Treaty 
          Organization (NATO) allies of the United States in order to 
          obtain increased host nation contributions toward defraying the 
          overseas basing costs for forces of the Armed Forces of the 
          United States in that host country.
              (2) In fiscal year 1992--
                      (A) the government of Germany contributed 
                  approximately 23 percent of the overseas basing costs 
                  for United States forces in that country;
                      (B) the government of Italy contributed 
                  approximately 20 percent of the overseas basing costs 
                  for United States forces in that country;
                      (C) the government of the United Kingdom 
                  contributed approximately 14 percent of the overseas 
                  basing costs for United States forces in that country; 
                  and
                      (D) the United States paid the remainder of such 
                  costs.
              (3) The Japanese government will pay 75.1 percent of 
          overseas basing costs according to the host nation burden 
          sharing support agreement between the United States and Japan.
              (4) In accordance with that agreement, the government of 
          Japan contributed in fiscal year 1992 approximately 70 percent 
          of the overseas basing costs for United States forces in that 
          country, and the United States paid the remainder of such 
          costs.
              (5) If the economically strong NATO allies of the United 
          States had contributed 75 percent of the overseas basing costs 
          that were incurred for fiscal year 1992 for United States 
          forces in the countries of such allies, the United States would 
          have saved an estimated $5,000,000,000 of the amount paid by 
          the United States for overseas basing costs for that fiscal 
          year.
              (6) It is in the national interest of the United States for 
          the United States and our economically strong allies to enter 
          into burden sharing support agreements that provide for such 
          allies to defray most or all of the overseas basing costs for 
          the United States forces stationed in the allied countries.
