Summary

Declares that the Senate hereby: (1) renews its condemnation of the continued Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan; (2) finds that recent Soviet representations concerning Soviet troop withdrawal have been a sham; (3) finds that recent Soviet offers of ceasefire and national reconciliation fail to provide the framework for a settlement and should be spurned by the Afghan resistance as long as Soviet troops continue to occupy Afghanistan; (4) believes that the only acceptable formula for a settlement in Afghanistan is one that results in a government representative of the Afghan people; and (5) renews its commitment to support the Afghans through the provision of material support. Urges the Secretary of State to take specified actions to encourage Soviet military withdrawal and a peaceful settlement of the situation in Afghanistan. Urges the: (1) Soviet Union to present a timetable of no more than four months for the withdrawal of its forces at the next session of U.N.-sponsored indirect negotiations in February 1987; and (2) Government of Pakistan to resist Soviet pressure to accept less than such a timetable for withdrawal of such forces.
