A resolution relating to the future of Afghanistan.

Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) the only acceptable formula for settlement of the Afghan situation is one which provides for Afghan self-determination, a representative government, restoration of civic order, and a timely return and resettlement of refugees; (2) the United States should not cease, suspend, or diminish lethal assistance to the Afghan resistance until the Soviet Union has terminated its military assistance to, and significant control over, its proxies in Afghanistan and so long as the effects of massive Soviet assistance give such proxy regime an overbearing advantage against the resistance; and (3) the President should seek to increase substantially the level of U.S. emergency humanitarian assistance inside Afghanistan. Urges the President to devote sufficient resources from the cross-border assistance program for the democratic political reconstruction of Afghanistan. Commends the Government of Pakistan for supporting the resistance and caring for refugees. Encourages the President to continue to work closely with such Government. Calls upon the President to: (1) name an ambassadorial-level envoy to the Afghan resistance; and (2) report to specified Senate leaders on the details of current U.S. policy.
