(3) The Secretary of State, with the assistance of appropriate agencies, should institute as expeditiously as possible a family reunification program for those refugees in Thailand, including those at the border who have family members in the United States.

SEC. 810. POLICY REGARDING FOREIGN EXCHANGE INTERVENTION. (a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds and declares that

(1) the trade deficit looms larger than any other threat to the ability of the United States to generate jobs and create economic well-being;

(2) the trade deficit continues to deteriorate even from the 1984 level of $123,000,000,000;

(3) the trade deficit will continue to deteriorate until the value of the dollar declines on foreign exchange markets;

(4) the dollar's rise may slow down but is unlikely to fall sufficiently as a result of Congress' contemplated budget deficit reduction measures;

(5) the value of the dollar would probably fall under a number of tax reform proposals but industries losing market share due to the exchange rate may not be able to wait for a complete tax package;

(6) the only remaining timely option for lowering the value of the dollar is intervention in foreign exchange markets by the Secretary of the Treasury or the Federal Reserve Board;

(7) any such intervention must be strong enough to achieve the intent of the Congress of lowering the dollar's value but sufficiently moderate to prevent a sudden drop in its value;

(8) any such intervention in order to assure a gradual decline and protect against too large a drop in the value of the dollar, will require coordinated action by the central banks of Europe and Japan as well as the United States; and

(9) such coordination is especially important to strengthen economic and political ties with the allies of the United States and to promote consistent macroeconomic policies to the mutual benefit of all.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.-Therefore, it is the sense of the Congress that

(1) the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, in concert with United States allies and coordinated with the central banks of the Group of Five or other major central banks, should take such steps as are necessary to lower gradually the value of the dollar;

(2) such steps should not exclude intervention in the foreign exchange markets;

(3) the Secretary of the Treasury and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board should work to ensure that the domestic macroeconomic policies of the United States and its allies are forged to reinforce rather than oppose one another.

SEC. 811. COMMENDING MAYOR TEDDY KOLLEK OF JERUSALEM. (a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that

(2) he has promoted freedom of access to religious shrines for Muslims, Christians, and Jews; and

(3) through his efforts the aesthetic character of the city has been enhanced.

(b) COMMENDATION.-Therefore, the Congress commends Mayor Kollek for his efforts over the years.

SEC. 812. JAPAN-UNITED STATES SECURITY RELATIONSHIP AND EFFORTS BY JAPAN TO FULFILL SELF-DEFENSE RESPONSIBILITIES.48

(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress hereby finds

(1) the Japan-United States security relationship is the foundation of the peace and security of Japan and the Far East, as well as a major contributor to the protection of the United States and of the democratic freedoms and economic prosperity enjoyed by both the United States and Japan;

(2) the threats to our two democracies have increased significantly since 1976, principally through the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the expansion of Soviet armed forces in the Far East, the invasion of Cambodia by Vietnam, and the instability in the Persian Gulf region as signified by the continuing IranIraq conflict;

(3) in recognition of these and other threats, the United States has greatly increased its annual defense spending through sustained real growth averaging 8.8 percent yearly between fiscal 1981 and 1985, and cumulative real growth of 50 percent in that period;

(4) the United States Government appreciates the May 1981 commitment by the Prime Minister of Japan that, pursuant to the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security of 1960 between Japan and the United States, Japan,49 on its own initiative, would seek to make even greater efforts for improving its defense capabilities, and pursuant to Japan's own Constitution, it was national policy for his country to acquire and maintain the self-defense forces adequate for the defense of its land area and surrounding airspace and sealanes, out to a distance of 1,000 miles;

(5) the United States Government applauds the policy of Japan to obtain the capabilities to defend its sea and air lanes out to 1,000 miles, expects that these capabilities should be acquired by the end of the decade, and recognizes that achieving those capabilities would significantly improve the national security of both Japan and the United States;

(6) the United States Government appreciates the contribution already made by Japan through the Host Nation Support Program and its recent efforts to increase its defense spending; and

(7) Japan, however, in recent years consistently has not provided sufficient funding and resources to meet its self-defense

needs and to meet common United States-Japan defense objectives and alliance responsibilities.

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.-It is the sense of the Congress that Japan, to fulfill its self-defense responsibilities pursuant to the 1960 Mutual Cooperation and Security Treaty with the United States, and in accordance with the national policy declaration made by its Prime Minister in May 1981, to develop a 1,000- mile airspace and sealanes defense capability, should implement a 19861990 Mid-Term Defense Plan containing sufficient funding, program acquisition, and force development resources to obtain the agreed-upon 1,000 mile self-defense capabilities by the end of the decade, including the allocation of sufficient budgetary resources annually to reduce substantially the ammunition, logistics, and sustainability shortfalls of its self-defense forces.

(c) SUBMISSION TO CONGRESS.-Not later than March 31, 1986, and on an annual basis thereafter, the President shall submit to the appropriate committees of Congress, in both a classified and unclassified form, detailed and extensive information to permit the Congress to understand Japan's progress toward actually fulfilling its common defense commitment, including the development and implementation of a 1986-1990 Mid-Term Defense Plan fully funded for Japan to achieve 1,000- mile self-defense capabilities by 1990. Such information shall include a description of actions taken by the United States Government in the preceding year to encourage Japan to meet its 1,000-mile self-defense commitment by 1990.
