Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the President should seek an international oil embargo through the United Nations (UN) against Libya for its refusal to comply with UN Security Council Resolutions 731 and 748 concerning the bombings of Pan Am Flight 103 and UTA Flight 772; and (2) all U.S. nationals in Libya who, in defiance of U.S. law, continue to contribute to the Libyan economy should leave immediately. Calls for Libya to comply with such resolutions, to release to the United States or Great Britain, and to France, those responsible for the bombings, to provide all information in its possession regarding such bombings, to pay compensation to the families of the victims, and to cease support, training, and arming of terrorist groups and movements.
