Laogai Slave Labor Products Act of 1997

Summary

Laogai Slave Labor Products Act of 1997 - Authorizes appropriations for FY 1998 and 1999 for monitoring by the U.S. Customs Service and the Department of State of the exportation of slave labor products by China. Directs the Commissioner of Customs and the Secretary of State each to report annually to the Congress on manufacturing and exportation of slave labor products in China. Expresses the sense of the Congress that, since China has substantially frustrated the purposes of the 1992 Memorandum of Understanding with the United States on Prison Labor, the President should immediately commence negotiations to replace the current Memorandum with one providing for effective monitoring of forced labor there, without restrictions on which prison labor camps international monitors may visit.
