SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    The Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) It has been reported that at an internal Central
        Communist Party meeting in 1994, Chinese President Jiang Zemin
        asserted that religion is one of the biggest threats to
        Communist Party rule in China.
            (2) On January 31, 1994, Premier Li Ping signed decrees
        number 144 and 145 which restrict worship, religious education,
        distribution of bibles and other religious literature, and
        contact with foreign coreligionists.
            (3) The Chinese Government has created organizations that
        have as their purpose controlling all religious worship,
        activity, and association in China and supplanting the Roman
        Catholic Church, independent Protestant churches and
        independent Buddhist, Taoist, and Islamic associations.
            (4) In July 1995 Ye Xiaowen, a reputed atheist and rigid
        communist, was appointed to head the Bureau of Religious
        Affairs, an agency controlled by the United Front Work
        Department of the Chinese Government, that has administrative
        control over all religious worship and activity in China
        through an official system of registering or denying rights and
        privileges to religious congregations and leaders.
            (5) In the past year, the Chinese Government has expressed
        great concern over the spread of Christianity and particularly
        over the rapid growth of Christian religious institutions other
        than those controlled by the government, including the Roman
        Catholic Church and the evangelical Christian ``house
        churches''.
            (6) Soon after the establishment of the People's Republic
        of China in 1949, the Chinese Government imprisoned Christians
        who refused to relinquish their faith to become servants of
        Communism, charging them as ``counter-revolutionaries'' and
        sentencing them to 20 years or more in labor camps.
            (7) Hundreds of Chinese Protestants and Catholics are among
        those now imprisoned at ``reeducation through labor'' camps
        because of their religious beliefs.
            (8) The reeducation camps are run by the Ministry of Public
        Security and the Ministry of Justice of the Chinese Government.
            (9) The Chinese Communist Government refuses to permit the
        appointment by the Vatican of Catholic Bishops and ordination
        of priests for China and insists on appointing its own
        ``Catholic bishops''.
            (10) The Tenth Panchen Lama died in January 1989 at Tashi
        Lhunpo Monastery, his traditional spiritual seat in Shigatze,
        Tibet's second largest city.
            (11) The Dalai Lama has the right to recognize the
        successor to the Panchen Lama, and has always done so.
            (12) On May 14, 1995, His Holiness the Dalai Lama announced
        recognition of a 6-year-old boy, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, as the
        Eleventh Panchen Lama, according to Tibetan tradition.
            (13) The young boy recognized by the Dalai Lama and his
        family have been brought to Beijing by Chinese authorities and
        have not been seen in several months.
            (14) Chatrel Rimpoche, abbot of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery and
        head of the original search committee for the Eleventh Panchen
        Lama, and his assistant, Champa Chung, are believed to have
        been seized and detained by Chinese authorities in May of 1995.
            (15) Chinese Government authorities subsequently detained
        other Tibetan Buddhists in connection with selection of the
        Eleventh Panchen Lama, including Gyatrol Rimpoche, Shepa
        Kelsang, Lhakpa Tsering, and Ringkar Ngawang.
            (16) The Chinese Government convened a conference in
        Beijing of Tibetan Lamas who were forcibly brought to Beijing
        in order to select a rival candidate to the child selected by
the Dalai Lama as the Eleventh Panchen Lama.
            (17) On November 29, 1995, Luo Gan, Secretary General of
        the State Council, and Ye Xiaowen, Director of the Bureau of
        Religious Affairs, orchestrated an elaborate ceremony
        designating a 6-year-old boy selected by the Chinese Government
        as the Eleventh Panchen Lama.
            (18) On December 8, 1995, State Councilor Li Tieying
        presided over a ceremony in Shigatze, Tibet, in which the boy
        selected by the Chinese Government as the Eleventh Panchen Lama
        was enthroned.
            (19) By seeking to impose its own candidate as the Eleventh
        Panchen Lama and detaining the 6-year-old boy recognized for
        that position in accordance with Tibetan tradition, the Chinese
        Government is inserting itself into a purely Tibetan religious
        matter, in blatant violation of the fundamental human rights of
        the Tibetan people.

States foreign policy with respect to China, and should raise this

            ``(1) Limitations on prospective relief.--Prospective
        relief in a civil action with respect to prison conditions
        shall extend no further than necessary to remove the conditions
        that are causing the deprivation of the Federal rights of
        individual plaintiffs in that civil action. The court shall not
        grant or approve any prospective relief unless the court finds
        that such relief is narrowly drawn and the least intrusive
        means to remedy the violation of the Federal right. In
        determining the intrusiveness of the relief, the court shall
        give substantial weight to any adverse impact on public safety
        or the operation of a criminal justice system caused by the
        relief.
            ``(2) Prison population reduction relief.--In any civil
        action with respect to prison conditions, the court shall not
        grant or approve any relief whose purpose or effect is to
        reduce or limit the prison population, unless the plaintiff
        proves that crowding is the primary cause of the deprivation of
        the Federal right and no other relief will remedy that
        deprivation.
    ``(b) Termination of Relief.--
            ``(1) Automatic termination of prospective relief after 2-
        year period.--In any civil action with respect to prison
        conditions, any prospective relief shall automatically
        terminate 2 years after the later of--
                    ``(A) the date the court found the violation of a
                Federal right that was the basis for the relief; or
                    ``(B) the date of the enactment of the Stop Turning
                Out Prisoners Act.
            ``(2) Immediate termination of prospective relief.--In any
        civil action with respect to prison conditions, a defendant or
        intervenor shall be entitled to the immediate termination of
        any prospective relief, if that relief was approved or granted
        in the absence of a finding by the court that prison conditions
        violated a Federal right.

Output:
Stop Turning Out Prisoners Act - Revises provisions of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 regarding judicial remedies with respect to prison conditions.
Specifies that prospective relief in a civil action with respect to prison conditions shall extend no further than necessary to remove the conditions that are causing the deprivation of the Federal rights of individual plaintiffs in that action.  Prohibits the court from granting or approving any prospective relief unless it finds that the relief is narrowly drawn and the least intrusive means to remedy the violation of the Federal right.  Directs the court, in determining the intrusiveness of the relief, to give substantial weight to any adverse impact on public safety or the operation of a criminal justice system caused by the relief.
Prohibits the court, in any such action, from granting or approving any relief whose purpose or effect is to reduce or limit the prison population unless the plaintiff proves that crowding is the primary cause of the deprivation of the Federal right and no other relief will remedy that deprivation.
Sets forth provisions regarding:  (1) termination of relief (including provision for the automatic termination of prospective relief after a two-year period); (2) procedure for motions affecting prospective relief; (3) standing (grants standing to specified Federal, State, or local officials to oppose the imposition or continuation in effect of relief the purpose or effect of which is to reduce or limit the prison population and to intervene in any proceeding relating to that relief); (4) special masters; and (5) attorney's fees.
