                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of Congress regarding the preservation of full and 
open competition for contracts for the transportation of United States 
 military cargo between the United States and the Republic of Iceland.

Whereas the Treaty Between the United States of America and the Republic of 
        Iceland to Facilitate Their Defense Relationship and Related Memorandum 
        of Understanding in Implementation of the Treaty, signed September 24, 
        1986, provides for full and open competition among United States-flag 
        carriers and Icelandic shipping companies for the transportation of 
        United States military cargo between the United States and Iceland: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the President should ensure that full and open 
        competition continues in the selection of companies to 
        transport United States military cargo between the United 
        States and Iceland in accordance with the Treaty Between the 
        United States of America and the Republic of Iceland to 
        Facilitate Their Defense Relationship and Related Memorandum of 
        Understanding in Implementation of the Treaty, signed September 
        24, 1986; and
            (2) to preserve that competition, neither the Secretary of 
        State nor any other official of the United States should, 
        without the advice and consent of the Senate, seek to amend, 
        interpret, or alter the administration of the treaty or 
        memorandum of understanding in any manner (through limitations 
        on eligibility or otherwise) that--
                    (A) would preclude companies qualified to conduct 
                business under the laws of the United States or the 
                Republic of Iceland from submitting offers for, being 
                awarded, or performing a contract for the 
                transportation of United States military cargo under 
                the treaty or memorandum of understanding; or
                    (B) would otherwise defeat the purpose of enhancing 
                competition among United States-flag carriers or among 
                Icelandic shipping companies under the treaty or 
                memorandum of understanding.
