     of the merchandise) that are undetermined at the time the 
     importer files or transmits the documentation or information

     regulations prescribed by the Secretary. If the party so 
     elects, the party shall declare that a reconciliation will be 
     filed. The declaration shall be made in such manner as the 
     Secretary shall prescribe and at the time the documentation 
     or information required by subsection (a)(1)(B) or the import 
     activity summary statement is filed with, or transmitted to, 
     the Customs Service, or at such later time as the Customs 
     Service may, in its discretion, permit. The reconciliation 
     shall be filed by the importer of record at such time and in 
     such manner as the Secretary prescribes but not later than 15 
     months after the date the importer declares his intent to 
     file the reconciliation. In the case of reconciling issues 
     relating to the assessment of antidumping and countervailing 
     duties, the reconciliation shall be filed not later than 90 
     days after the date the Customs Service advises the importer 
     that the period of review for antidumping or countervailing 
     duty purposes has been completed.''.

     SEC. 59. SPECIAL RULE FOR GENERALIZED SYSTEM OF PREFERENCES.

       The President is authorized to grant waivers under 
     subsections (c)(2)(F) and (d)(1) of section 503 of the Trade 
     Act of 1974 for those products that exceeded the limitations 
     for 1994 under section 504(c)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, as 
     in effect on June 30, 1995, and lost eligibility for duty-
     free treatment under title V of that Act as of July 1, 1995. 
     In granting such waivers, the President shall apply the 
     provisions of subsections (c)(3) and (d)(2) of section 504 of 
     the Trade Act of 1974, as in effect on July 31, 1995, and the 
     references to ``preceding calendar year'' in such section 504 
     shall be references to 1994.

  Mr. CRANE (during the reading). Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent 
that the Senate amendment be considered as read and printed in the 
Record.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Illinois?
  There was no objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the original request 
of the gentleman from Illinois?
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I only 
reserve the right in order to allow the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. 
Crane] to explain the bill.
  Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. GIBBONS. I yield to the gentleman from Illinois.
  Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding and would 
like to elaborate that H.R. 3815 makes miscellaneous amendments to 
trade laws with further amendments adopted during Senate consideration 
of the bill. The Senate added amendment is similar to those in the 
House passed bill which make technical and miscellaneous corrections to 
U.S. trade laws.
  These provisions have bipartisan support and the support of the 
industries involved and I would urge my colleagues to support this 
legislation. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding to me.
  I am pleased to explain to my colleagues in the House the provisions 
of H.R. 3815, which makes miscellaneous amendments to trade laws, with 
further amendments adopted during Senate consideration of the bill. On 
July 30, 1996, the House passed H.R. 3815 under suspension of the 
rules.
  The Senate added amendments similar to those in the House-passed bill 
which are aimed at streamlining and facilitating the administration of 
U.S. trade laws. The Senate also added some noncontroversial duty 
reductions and suspensions, reliquidations, and refunds for 
acknowledged errors by the Customs Service. These provisions have 
bipartisan support and the support of the industries involved, and are 
of similar character to provisions already included in the House bill.
  One item in the House-passed version of H.R. 3815 was removed by the 
Senate. This provision would have established a general consultation 
and layover requirement for any changes in Administration policy with 
respect to rules of origin or country-of-origin marking determinations, 
and a specific moratorium for changes in policy with respect to marking 
requirements for hand-tool forgings. I still support the bill, however, 
because it is the expectation of the chairmen of the House Ways and 
Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee that the 
administration will heed the substance of this provision even without 
specific legislation. The committees plan to address the issues of 
rules of origin and would be especially averse to any action by the 
administration in the meantime that would jeopardize the ability of the 
committees of jurisdiction to approach these issues in a considered and 
orderly manner at that time.
  I believe that H.R. 3815 strikes a blow for good government by 
streamlining our trade laws and taking care of noncontroversial tariff 
matters. Accordingly, I urge my colleagues to support passage of this 
important legislation with the Senate-passed changes.
  Mr. GIBBONS. Mr. Speaker, further reserving my right to object, I 
want to pay tribute to the lady who sits to my immediate right here, 
Mary Jane Wignot. She has been an effective, wonderful, intelligent 
staff member for the Subcommittee on Trade on the Committee on Ways and 
Means for many decades.
  She has made major contributions to the substance of legislation that 
has passed through our committee, complicated technical legislation. 
She epitomizes what is best in public service for our professional 
staff.
  Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  Mr. SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the original request 
of the gentleman from Illinois?
  There was no objection.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
