Summary

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is to be commended for its pivotal role in preserving trans-Atlantic peace and stability; (2) the NATO allies, at the Summit meeting to be held in Washington, D.C., in April, 1999, should articulate a concrete vision for the Alliance in the 21st century; (3) the Alliance must recognize and act upon the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism by intensifying consultations among political and military leaders, and deploying comprehensive capabilities to counter such threats to the international community; (4) the Alliance should pace, not pause, the process of NATO enlargement and remain prepared to extend invitations for accession negotiations to appropriate European democracies, while strengthening its relations with Russia and the Ukraine as essential partners in building long-term peace in the Euro-Atlantic area; and (5) the Alliance should fully support the North Atlantic Assembly's activities in enhancing and stabilizing democracy in Central and Eastern Europe nations.
