Summary

States that the Congress declares that the primary purpose of U.S. assistance to the Republic of Korea shall be to promote the return to democracy in that country and to that end it places the highest priority on: (1) the replacement of the current climate of intimidation and abuses of human rights with dialog between the Government of the Republic of Korea and the democratic opposition; (2) restoration of the political rights of Kim Dae Jung and others; and (3) the peaceful democratic transfer of the Presidency of the Republic of Korea in 1988 elections that will be open to all who are committed to democracy.
