Establishes a Congressional-Executive Commission on Viet Nam to monitor: (1) the acts of the Government of Viet Nam which reflect compliance with or violation of human rights, in particular those contained in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; (2) the rule of law in Viet Nam; and (3) the development of U.S. programs and activities and private organizations to increase the interchange of people and ideas between the United States and Viet Nam. Prohibits U.S. nonhumanitarian assistance to the Government of Viet Nam unless the President determines and certifies to Congress that the Government of Viet Nam has complied with certain human rights requirements. Directs the Secretary of the Treasury to instruct the U.S. Executive Director of specified international financial institutions to use the U.S. vote to deny multilateral nonhumanitarian assistance to Viet Nam unless the President determines and certifies to Congress that such requirements have been met. Authorizes U.S. assistance for the support of individuals and organizations to promote human rights and nonviolent democratic change in Viet Nam. Sets forth U.S. policy with respect to: (1) overcoming the jamming of Radio Free Asia by Viet Nam; (2) U.S. educational and cultural exchange programs to promote freedom and democracy in Viet Nam; and (3) the offer of refugee resettlement to Viet Nam nationals.
