The 108th Congress should
require that any new trade
sanctions be justified by national security,
repeal existing sanctions that fail
to meet the national security criterion,
set a time limit on any new trade
sanctions,
require the president to consult with
Congress following the imposition
of sanctions by executive order,
give the president authority to waive
any sanction in the national
interest,
require an analysis of the cost to
the U.S. economy of all current and
proposed trade sanctions, and
provide compensation to U.S. citizens
whose investments are lost or
substantially devalued as a result of U.S. sanctions policy.
These goals will set in motion a re-evaluation of the purposes
for U.S. foreign intervention.
