Summary

Expresses the sense of Congress that: (1) the Caribbean countries of Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines should at the next annual International Whaling Commission meeting oppose the resumption of commercial whaling, support existing sanctuaries and the creation of new sanctuaries, support strong conservation measures for whales, and oppose the use of secret balloting at Commission meetings; and (2) the United States should consider the Caribbean countries' position on commercial whaling when considering future foreign aid to, or trade agreements with, such countries.
