Qoi) STATEMENTS OF POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the President is to be commended for his clear articulation of United States condemnation of the actions of the Government of the People's Republic of China in the killing and persecution of the participants of the prodemocracy movement in the People's Republic of China, and for the responses and measures by the President against the People's Republic of China, which the Congress supports; (2) the consultative approach that the President has used in coordinating with other countries the United States response to the atrocities committed by the leaders of the People's Republic of China should be supported; (3) it is essential that the United States speak in a bipartisan and unified voice in response to the events in the People's Republic of China, and that the President be given the necessary flexibility to respond to rapidly changing situations so that the long-term interests of the United States are not damaged; (4) in this vein, the President should continue to emphasize to the leaders of the Government of the People's Republic of China that resumption of normal diplomatic and military relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China will depend directly on the Chinese Government's halting of executions of prodemocracy movement supporters, releasing those imprisoned for their political beliefs, and increasing respect for internationaly recognized human rights;
