SA 1713. Mr. GRASSLEY submitted an amendment intended to be proposed
by him to the bill H.R. 2862, making appropriations for Science, the
Departments of State, Justice, and Commerce, and related agencies for
the fiscal year ending September 30, 2006, and for other purposes;
which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

Strike all after ``Sec.  522.'' and insert the following:
``None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available
by this Act may be used in a manner that is inconsistent with
the principle negotiating objective of the United States with
respect to trade remedy laws to preserve the ability of the
United States--
``(1) to enforce vigorously its trade laws, including the
antidumping, countervailing duty, and safeguard laws;
``(2) to avoid agreements that--
``(A) lessen the effectiveness of domestic and
international disciplines on unfair trade, especially dumping
and subsidies; or
``(B) lessen the effectiveness of domestic and
international safeguard provisions, in order to ensure that
United States workers, agricultural producers, and firms can
compete fully on fair terms and enjoy the benefits of
reciprocal trade concessions; and
``(3) to address and remedy market distortions that lead to
dumping and subsidization, including overcapacity,
cartelization, and market-access barriers.''.
