“With regard to the Pallone amendment, it is H.R. 1486. It is a congressional statement regarding Prime Minister Gujral of India. The Congress makes the following findings: That the Prime Minister has recently received a vote of confidence from the Indian parliament; Prime Minister Gujral is committed to strengthening ties between our Nation and India through the continuation of free market reforms and initiatives; The Gujral government is on the verge of passing a budget package that will carry forward economic reforms initiated in 1991 and will help India reform investment and trade; Prime Minister Gujral has made it a priority to improve relations with Pakistan and has recently met with the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, to better relations between the two nations. It is a sense of Congress that the Clinton administration should support and work closely with Indian Prime Minister Gujral in strengthening relations between the United States and India and improving relations in the south Asian region.”
