(a) Congressional findings
The Congress finds that participation by Central American countries in an effective forum for dialog on, and the continuous review and advancement of, Central Americas political, economic, and social development would foster cooperation between the United States and Central American countries.
(b) Sense of Congress; Central American Development Organization; establishment, etc.
It is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the President should enter into negotiations with the countries of Central America to establish a Central American Development Organization (hereafter in this section referred to as the Organization) to help provide a continuous and coherent approach to the development of the Central American region; and
(2) the establishment of the Organization should be based upon the following principles:
(A) Participation in the Organization should be open to the United States, other donors, and those Central American countries that commit themselves to, among other things, respecting internationally recognized human rights, building democracy, and encouraging equitable economic growth through policy reforms.
(B) The Organization should be structured to include representatives from both the public and private sectors, including representatives from the labor, agriculture, and business communities.
(C) The Organization should meet periodically to carry out the functions described in subparagraphs (D) and (E) of this paragraph and should be supported by a limited professional secretariat.
(D) The Organization should make recommendations affecting Central American countries on such matters as—
(i) political, economic, and social development objectives, including the strengthening of democratic pluralism and the safeguarding of internationally recognized human rights;
(ii) mobilization of resources and external assistance needs; and
(iii) reform of economic policies and structures.
(E) The Organization should have the capacity for monitoring country performance on recommendations issued in accordance with subparagraph (D) of this paragraph and for evaluating progress toward meeting such country objectives.
(F) To the maximum extent practicable, the United States should follow the recommendations of the Organization in disbursing bilateral economic assistance for any Central American country. No more than 75 percent of such United States assistance in any fiscal year should be disbursed until the recommendations of the Organization for that fiscal year have been made final and communicated to the donor countries. The limitation on disbursements contained in the preceding sentence should apply only to recommendations made final and communicated to donor countries prior to the fourth quarter of such fiscal year. The United States representative to the Organization should urge other donor countries to similarly implement the recommendations of the Organization.
