Washington, July 17 (CNA) More than 10 US congressional leaders joined together Thursday to announce an 11-bill package which stands to significantly alter the United States' policy toward mainland China.

At a press conference in the Capitol building, Rep. Christopher Cox (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, said the bills aim to promote individual freedom, democracy and free markets in communist China and peace and stability in East Asia.

He claimed the Clinton administration has failed to formulate a coherent policy that addresses US concerns related to communist China.

Sen. Connie Mack, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, said he will sponsor similar legislation in the Senate to help forge a long-term comprehensive blueprint for American policy toward communist China. He stressed that such a policy must reflect fundamental American values, such as freedom, democracy and justice.

One of the bills would allow the United States to sell theater missile defense systems to Taiwan. Another legislative proposal, in the form of a concurrent resolution, would call for Taiwan's accession to the World Trade Organization ahead of mainland China.

Rep. Benjamin Gilman (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House International Relations Committee, will introduce the "Free the Clergy Act," which would prohibit US visas to communist Chinese officials who are responsible for the repression of religion in mainland China, including Tibet. He will also introduce a resolution urging the Clinton administration to obey the Gore-McCain Act of 1992 and impose sanctions on communist China for selling 60 cruise missiles to Iran in 1996.

Rep. Jerry Solomon (R-N.Y.), chairman of the House Rules Committee whose measure to revoke communist China's most-favored-nation trade status was defeated in the House on June 24, will offer a bill to reduce the level of US contribution to international financial institutions by the amount constituting the American share of the subsidies given to communist China.

Another bill will be introduced by Rep. Bill McCollum (R-Fla.), chairman of the House Subcommittee on Human Intelligence, Analysis and Counterintelligence. It would require the CIA and the FBI to jointly prepare an annual classified report to Congress on communist Chinese intelligence activities in the United States.

Rep. Christopher Smith (R-N.J.), chairman of the House Subcommittee on International Operations and Human Rights, will introduce legislation that would more effectively implement the ban on the import of prison-made goods from mainland China.

To deny normal trade status to enterprises controlled by communist China's People's Liberation Army, Rep. Tillie K. Fowler (R-Fla.) will introduce a bill allowing the US treasury secretary to impose economic sanctions on PLA enterprises operating in the United States.

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) will offer a bill that would permit six diplomats to be assigned to the US Embassy in Beijing to monitor human rights. It will also allow at least one human rights specialist to be assigned to each of the US consulates in mainland China.

Another bill, to be introduced by Rep. Edward Royce (R-Calif.), would increase funding for Radio Free Asia to accommodate broadcasts to mainland China 24-hour-a-day in Mandarin, Cantonese, Tibetan and other Chinese dialects.

Rep. Henry Hyde (R. Ill.), chairman of the House Committee on the Judiciary, will introduce a bill that would deny visas to communist Chinese officials involved in the enforcement of forced abortion and sterilization.
