        a program of expanded cooperation with NATO called the
        Partnership for Peace.
            (2) In that invitation, the leaders of the NATO member
        nations stated: ``We reaffirm that the Alliance, as provided in
        Article 10 of the Washington Treaty, remains open to the
        membership of other European states in a position to further
        the principles of the Treaty and to contribute to the security
        of the North Atlantic area. We expect and would welcome NATO
        expansion that would reach to democratic states to our East, as
        part of an evolutionary process, taking into account political
        and security developments in the whole of Europe.''.
            (3) The political and economic transformation of the
        formerly communist-ruled countries of Europe has been under way
        since 1989. In establishing a new Strategic Concept for NATO in
        November 1991, the leaders of the NATO member nations observed:
        ``All the countries that were formerly adversaries of NATO have
        dismantled the Warsaw Pact and rejected ideological hostility
        to the West. They have in varying degrees, embraced and begun
        to implement policies aimed at achieving pluralistic democracy,
        the rule of law, respect for human rights and a market
        economy.''.
            (4) In particular, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and
        Slovakia have made significant progress toward establishing
        democratic institutions, free market economies, civilian
        control of their armed forces, and the rule of law since the
        fall of their previous communist governments.

SEC. 3. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.

            (1) the leaders of the NATO member nations are to be
        commended for reaffirming that NATO membership remains open to

        welcoming eventual expansion of NATO to include such countries;
            (2) Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia
        should be in a position to further the principles of the North
        Atlantic Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North
