(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)
States that Congress acknowledges and welcomes the strong relationship formed between the United States and Ukraine since the restoration of Ukraine's independence in 1991.
Recognizes that a precondition for the full integration of Ukraine into the Western community of nations, including as an equal member in institutions such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), is its establishment of a democratic political system.

Urges the Ukrainian authorities to ensure the full transparency of election procedures before, during, and after the 2004 presidential elections.
