              PUERTO RICO.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
        (1) In the revised land and resource management plan for the
    Caribbean National Forest/Luquillo Experimental Forest, approved
    April 17, 1997, and the environmental impact statement prepared as
    part of the plan, the Secretary of Agriculture examined the
    suitability of rivers within the Caribbean National Forest/Luquillo
    Experimental Forest for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic
    Rivers System.
        (2) Based on such examination, the Rio Icacos, Rio Mameyes, and
    Rio de La Mina were found to be free flowing waterways and to
    possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geological,
    hydrological, biological, historical, and cultural values, and,
    therefore, to qualify for addition to the National Wild and Scenic
    Rivers System.
    (b) Designations.--Section 3(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act
(16 U.S.C. 1274(a)) is amended by adding at the end the following new
paragraph:
    ``(____) Rivers of Caribbean National Forest, Puerto Rico.--
        ``(A) Rio mameyes.--The segment of approximately 4.5 miles from
    its headwaters in the Bano de Oro Research Natural Area to the
    boundary of the Caribbean National Forest, to be administered by

    (c) Special Management Considerations.--
        (1) Certain permitted activities.--Subject to paragraph (2),
    the amendment made by the subsection (b) and the applicability of
    the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.) to the
    river segments added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System
    by the amendment shall not be construed to prevent any of the
    following activities within the boundaries of the river segments:
            (A) Installation and maintenance of hydrologic,
        meteorological, climatological, or atmospheric data collection
        and transmission facilities, or any combination of such
        facilities, when the Secretary of Agriculture determines that

        recovery of threatened and endangered species.
        (2) Conditions.--The activities authorized by paragraph (1)
    shall be subject to such conditions as the Secretary considers
    desirable. The Secretary shall ensure that the scale and scope of
    such activities within the boundaries of a river segment added to
    the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System by the amendment made by
    the subsection (b) are not detrimental to the characteristics of
    the river segment that merited its designation as a wild, scenic,
    or recreational river.
    (d) Preservation of Commonwealth Authority.--Nothing in this
section or the amendment made by this section shall be construed to
limit the authority of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico over waters and
natural channels of public domain pursuant to the laws of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

SECTION 1. STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES.

    (a) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to create principles
governing the conduct of commercial cooperation projects of United
States nationals in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
    (b) Principles.--It is the sense of the Congress that any United
States national conducting a commercial cooperation project in the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam should adhere to the following
principles:
            (1) Seek to ensure that political or religious views, sex,
        ethnic or national background, involvement in political
        activities or nonviolent demonstrations, or association with
        suspected or known dissidents will not prohibit hiring, lead to
        harassment, demotion, or dismissal, or in any way affect the
        status or terms of employment in the commercial cooperation
        project. The United States national should not discriminate in
        terms or conditions of employment in the commercial cooperation
        project against former members of the armed forces of the
        Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam), former government
        officials of the Republic of Vietnam, former employees of the
        United States Government in the Republic of Vietnam, former
        employees of United States Government officials in the Republic
        of Vietnam, former employees of United States enterprises in
        the Republic of Vietnam, and repatriated asylum-seekers (so-
        called ``boat people'').
            (2) Ensure that methods of production used in the
        commercial cooperation project do not pose an unnecessary
        physical danger to workers and neighboring populations and
        property and that the commercial cooperation project does not
        unnecessarily risk harm to the surrounding environment.
            (3) Strive to use business enterprises that are not
        controlled by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam or its
        authorized agents and departments as potential partners in the
        commercial cooperation project.
            (4) Prohibit any military presence on the premises of the
        commercial cooperation project.
            (5) Undertake to promote freedom of association and
        assembly among the employees of the United States national,
        including the right of employees to form collective bargaining
        units. The United States national should protest any
        infringement by the Government of the Socialist Republic of
        Vietnam of these freedoms to the appropriate authorities of
        that government and to the International Labor Organization.
            (6) Prohibit any compulsory political indoctrination
        programs from taking place on the premises of the operations of
        the commercial cooperation project.
            (7) Promote freedom of expression, including the freedom to
        seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds,
        regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print,
        in the form of art, or through any media. To this end, the
        United States national should raise with appropriate
        authorities of the Government of the Socialist Republic of
        Vietnam concerns about restrictions on importation of foreign
        publications.
            (8) Undertake to promote a full accounting of all Americans
        missing in action from the Vietnam conflict.
    (c) Promotion of Principles by Other Nations.--The Secretary of
State shall forward a copy of the principles described in subsection
(b) to the member nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development and encourage them to promote principles similar to
these principles.

SEC. 2. REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT.

    (a) In General.--Each United States national conducting a
commercial cooperation project in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam

shall submit a completed reporting form furnished by the Department of
State. The first report shall be submitted not later than 1 year after
the date on which the national registers under section 2 and not later
than the end of each 1-year period occurring thereafter.
    (b) Review of Report.--The Secretary of State shall review each
report submitted under subsection (a) and determine whether the United
States national submitting the report is adhering to the principles
described in section 1(b). The Secretary may request additional
information from the United States national and other sources to verify
the information submitted.
    (c) Annual Report.--The Secretary of State shall submit a report to
the Congress and to the Secretariat of the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development, describing the level of adherence to the

behalf of a United States national subject to the reporting
requirements of section 3(a) if that United States national adheres to

government or foreign national'' includes any contact by an officer or
