SEC. 8136. (a) FINDINGS. —The Congress finds that—
(1) the President and Secretary of State have stated publicly
that a new international order is being created;
(2) such order is characterized, among other things, by—
(A) a rough parity of financial and technological strength
and of standards of living among Members of the Group of

common security objectives by each Member; and

national income over a reasonable, finite period.

President should submit reports to Congress no later than August 1,
1991, and August 1, 1992, assessing progress toward the agreements
referred to in subsection (b). In the absence of substantial progress
