 PUBLIC LAW 99-83—AUG. 8, 1985 (8) the Ethiopian Government deems the appearance and status of its socialist system more worthy of attention than its citizens and agricultural policies in need. (b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the Government of Ethiopia should be condemned for failing in its responsibility to sufficiently ameliorate the severe drought and famine conditions throughout its agrarian countryside; (2) the Government of Ethiopia should allocate more of its resources toward the development of a more balanced and effective agrarian system; (3) human rights monitoring groups can be a positive force for human rights in Ethiopia and should be allowed to function and should be supported; (4) the Government of Ethiopia should initiate a genuine policy of national reconciliation; (5) the continued improvement of Ethiopia's treatment of the Ethiopian people and respect for human rights would better relations between the United States and Ethiopia; (6) the President or his representatives should convey to Ethiopian officials the concerns of the Congress expressed in this section at every opportunity; and (7) the President or his representatives should also convey these concerns of the Congress to the governments of United States allies and urge the cooperation of those governments in efforts to ensure a more responsible Ethiopian Government. (c) PROHIBITION ON IMPORTS AND EXPORTS.—(1) The President shall determine, within 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, whether the Ethiopian regime is conducting a deliberate policy of starvation of its people and has not granted fundamental human rights to its citizens. The President shall submit that determination, and the basis for that determination, to the Congress. (2) If the President determines that such a policy is being conducted and that such rights are not being granted, paragraph (3) shall take effect if the Congress enacts a joint resolution approving that determination. (3) If the conditions specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) are met— (A) goods and services of Ethiopian origin may not be imported into the United States; and (B) except for emergency relief, rehabilitation, and recovery assistance, goods and services of United States origin may not be exported (directly or indirectly) to Ethiopia. (d) PROHIBITION ON ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE.—The President shall suspend all forms of economic assistance to the Government of Ethiopia. This section shall not be construed to prevent the furnishing of international disaster assistance under section 491 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 or economic assistance which will directly benefit needy people in accordance with section 116 of that Act.
