The 108th Congress should
- require that any new trade
sanctions be justified by national security,
- repeal existing sanctions that fail
to meet the national security criterion,
- set a time limit on any new trade
sanctions,
- require the president to consult with
Congress following the imposition
of sanctions by executive order,
- give the president authority to waive
any sanction in the national
interest,
- require an analysis of the cost to
the U.S. economy of all current and
proposed trade sanctions, and
- provide compensation to U.S. citizens
whose investments are lost or
substantially devalued as a result of U.S. sanctions policy.
These goals will set in motion a re-evaluation of the purposes
for U.S. foreign intervention.
