SEC. 803. POLICY. (a) In General.— The Congress reiterates long-standing United States policy that any dialogue with the PLO be contingent upon the PLO’s recognition of Israel’s right to exist, its acceptance of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338, and its abstention from and renunciation of all acts of terrorism. (b) Policy Toward Implementation of PLO Commitments.— It is the sense of the Congress that the United States, in any discussions with the PLO, should seek— (1) the prevention of terrorism and other violent activity by the PLO or any of its factions; and (2) the implementation of concrete steps by the PLO consistent with its commitments to recognize Israel and renounce terrorism, including concrete actions that will further the peace process such as— (A) disbanding units which have been involved in terrorism; (B) publicly condemning all acts of terrorism; 104 STAT. 78 (C) ceasing the intimidation of Palestinians who advocate a cessation of or who do not support the unrest; (D) calling on the Arab states to recognize Israel and to end their economic boycott of Israel; and (E) amending the PLO’s Covenant to remove provisions which undermine Israel’s legitimacy and which call for Israel’s destruction. (c) Policy Toward Recent Armed Incursions Into Israel By PLO-Affiliated Groups.— During the next round of talks with the PLO, should such talks occur after the date of enactment of this Act, the representative of the United States should obtain from the representative of the PLO a full accounting of the following attempted incursions into Israel which occurred after Yasser Arafat’s statement of December 14, 1988: (1) On December 26, 1988, an attempted armed infiltration into Israel by boat by four members of the PLO-affiliated Popular Struggle Front.
