SEC. 806. POLITICAL SETTLEMENT IN SUDAN.

(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— (1) friendship and mutual interests bind the United States and Sudan; and (2) the peace, security, and economic development of Sudan depend in large part on addressing the problems associated with the traditional north-south division in that country through political rather than military means. (b) UNITED STATES POLICY.—It is, therefore, the policy of the United States that the provision of security assistance to Sudan shall be based on the expectation that the Government of Sudan will make progress toward reaching a political settlement with all parties to the conflict in the south of Sudan. SEC. 807. ELECTIONS IN LIBERIA.

In recognition of the special relationship that the United States has with Liberia and of the wide variety of interests that the United States has in Liberia, security assistance for Liberia for fiscal years 1986 and 1987 is based on the expectation of a successful completion of free and fair elections, on a multiparty basis, in October 1985 as proposed by the Government of Liberia and on a return to full civilian, constitutional rule as a consequence of those elections. SEC. 808. WESTERN SAHARA.

(a) UNITED STATES POLICY.—The policy of the United States shall be to support a negotiated political solution to the conflict in the Western Sahara taking into account the principle of self-determination as outlined in the 1981 Nairobi resolution and to encourage all parties to the conflict to reach a peaceful internationaly recognized settlement. As part of this policy, the United States should carefully consider each type of military assistance it furnishes to any of the parties to the conflict and should seek to insure that the furnishing of such military assistance is consistent with United States policy which seeks a negotiated settlement. (b) FURTHER STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the further policy of the United States to support Morocco's legitimate defense needs and to discourage aggression by any country in North Africa against another. SEC. 809. SAHEL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. (a) AUTHORIZATIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS.—The third sentence of section 121(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 is amended to read as follows: "In addition to the amounts authorized to be appropriated in the preceding sentences and to funds otherwise available for such purposes, there are authorized to be appropriated to the President for purposes of this section $87,750,000 for fiscal year 1986 and $87,750,000 for fiscal year 1987.".
