"(1) section 10 of the International Narcotics Control Act of 1989 gives the President the authority to provide relief with respect to certain debt owed to the United States Government by the Government of Bolivia, the Government of Colombia, or the Government of Peru if the President determines that that country is implementing programs to reduce the flow of cocaine to the United States;

(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.-It is therefore the sense of the Congress that

(1) the proposal for the promotion of a regional multilateral antinarcotics force for the Western Hemisphere should be endorsed; and
