Introduced in House (03/11/1993)

Urges President Clinton to: (1) continue working with Belgium, France, and other allies in applying diplomatic pressure necessary for democratic change in Zaire; (2) pressure President Mobutu to leave Zaire so that the legitimate transitional government can complete the process of democratization as mandated by the Sovereign National Conference; and (3) impose a variety of sanctions on President Mobutu, including freezing the bank accounts of, and denying visas to, President Mobutu, his family, and associates and expelling Mobutu's ambassador.

Recommends that: (1) the United States support the suspension of Zaire from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, impose an arms embargo, and ban all imports from Zaire if further measures are needed to ensure Mobutu's departure; and (2) if the previously stated actions are unsuccessful, President Clinton encourage such allies to join the United States in urging the United Nations Security Council to consider other options, including intervention to stabilize the situation in Zaire.

Urges President Clinton, upon the departure of President Mobutu, to consider waiving the Brook Amendment and all U.S. sanctions against Zaire to allow for emergency economic assistance to the transitional government.
