SEC. 142. WOMEN'S HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION.

(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.-The Congress makes the following declarations:

(1) The State Department should designate a senior advisor to the appropriate Undersecretary to promote international women's human rights within the overall human rights policy of the United States Government.
