Summary

Declares that it should be U.S. policy to call upon the Governments of: (1) Malaysia to act immediately to end the uncontrolled exploitation of the rain forests of Sarawak and to formally recognize and uphold the customary land rights and internationally established human rights of all its indigenous peoples; and (2) Japan to investigate the activities of certain of that country's private corporations in causing the destruction of the last remaining primary rain forests and, thus, bringing to an end the culture and ultimately threatening the physical survival of the indigenous peoples of Sarawak.
