Summary

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) Antarctica should be subject to a new agreement among the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties that would provide for comprehensive environmental protection of Antarctica, grant Antarctica protective status as a world park, and close Antarctica to commercial minerals development unless a consensus is reached to modify the terms of the Antarctic Treaty for such purposes; and (2) the President, at the upcoming meeting of the Parties in Madrid, Spain, should support efforts to conclude such agreement.
