     Islands, Guam, or American Samoa (including any such article

     be inconsistent with substantial transformation requirements 
     established by the United States Customs Service but may 
     define the circumstances under which articles of jewelry 
     shall be deemed to be `units' for purposes of the benefits, 
     provisions, and limitations of additional U.S. note 5 to 
     chapter 91.''.
       (b) Conforming Amendments.--Additional U.S. note 5 to

     of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States is

     scientific value to the instrument or apparatus which, due to 
     its size cannot be feasibly imported in its assembled state, 
     is being manufactured in the United States, the Secretary 
     shall report the findings to the Secretary of the Treasury 
     and to the applicant institution and all components of the 
     instrument or apparatus shall remain dutiable.
       ``(ii) If the Secretary of Commerce determines that the 
     instrument or apparatus is not being manufactured in the 
     United States, the Secretary is authorized to determine 
     further whether any component of the instrument or apparatus 
     is being manufactured in the United States and shall report 
     the findings to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the 
     applicant institution, and any component found to be 
     domestically available shall remain dutiable.
       ``(iii) Any decision by the Secretary of the Treasury which 
     allows for duty-free entry of a component of an instrument or 
     apparatus which, due to its size cannot be feasibly imported 
     in its assembled state, shall be effective for a specified 
     maximum period, to be determined in consultation with the 
     Secretary of Commerce, taking into account both the 
     scientific needs of the importing institution and the 
     potential for development of comparable domestic 
     manufacturing capacity.''.
       (c) Modifications of Regulations.--The Secretary of the 
     Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce shall make such 
     modifications to their joint regulations as are necessary to

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Crane) and the gentleman from California (Mr. Matsui) 
each will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane).


                             General Leave

  Mr. CRANE. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members 
may have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their 
remarks and include extraneous matter on H.R. 4342.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from Illinois?
  There was no objection.
  Mr. CRANE. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. 
I rise in strong support of H.R. 4342, a bill to make technical 
corrections and miscellaneous amendments to trade laws.
  H.R. 4342 is a package of miscellaneous trade provisions and other 
technical and clerical corrections that were introduced originally as 
separate bills. Collecting these highly technical miscellaneous bills 
into a single legislative package is an enormous task undertaken in 
each Congress. Given these difficulties, we have worked on developing 
and applying a set of consistent, transparent guidelines for handling 
miscellaneous trade proposals.
  The provisions in H.R. 4342 fall into two titles. The first title 
makes clerical corrections to trade laws. The second title of H.R. 4342 
contains two subtitles. The first subtitle contains 112

[[Page H7070]]

various duty suspensions and tariff reductions. A large portion of the 
provisions in this section would temporarily suspend the duty on a 
variety of anti- HIV/AIDS and anti-cancer drugs. Other provisions 
temporarily suspend the duties on a wide array of chemicals, including 
many which are environmentally friendly substitutes for those 
containing toxic heavy metals.
  Another notable provision would provide for duty-free treatment to 
all participants and individuals associated with the 1999 International 
Special Olympics, the 1999 Women's World Cup Soccer, which, 
incidentally, will be held in my home State of Illinois, the 2001 
International Special Olympics, the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter 
Olympics, and the 2002 Winter Para-Olympic Games.
  The package of trade bills has been thoroughly evaluated and 
commented on by all concerned parties, including the U.S. Customs 
Service, the Department of Commerce, the International Trade 
Commission, the United States Trade Representative, and the general 
public, including firms which may have an interest in a tariff 
suspension on a product they produce domestically, including those from 
Youngstown, Ohio.
  The provisions that remain in the bill are completely 
noncontroversial and revenue neutral, and many will enable U.S. firms 
to produce goods more competitively and cost efficiently. Accordingly, 
I urge my colleagues to support this package.
  Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 4342, the Miscellaneous 
Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 1998, which I cosponsored with 
the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane). This bill was favorably 
reported out of the Committee on Ways and Means on a voice vote.
  H.R. 4342 is a bipartisan bill. It consolidates 112 tariff and 11 
trade bills introduced this Congress by Members on both sides of the 
aisle, as well as proposals from the administration and technical 
corrections to various trade statutes.
  Most of the provisions suspend duties temporarily on imports of 
specific products, such as drugs to fight AIDS and cancer for which 
there is no domestic production. These duty suspensions will reduce 
costs for imported raw material used in manufacturing products 
domestically. Other provisions correct errors or improve the operations 
of various customs or other trade laws.
  The bill allows the duty-free entry of equipment and personal effects 
for participants in the 1999 Special Olympics, the Women's World Cup, 
and the 2002 Winter Olympics. In addition, H.R. 4342 will bring U.S. 
law into conformity with an international agreement on duty-free 
importation of large scientific instruments.
  This package of tariff and trade bills has been thoroughly reviewed 
and evaluated by all interested parties to ensure that none of the 
provisions are controversial. The committee solicited comments from the 
private sector, the views of the U.S. Customs Service, the Department 
of Commerce, the U.S. Trade Representative and, of course, the 
International Trade Commission. These agencies' review ensures that no 
domestic producers or other private sector interests will be adversely 
affected. Only provisions which were determined by the CBO to be 
revenue neutral were included in the bill.
  H.R. 4342 will improve the cost competitiveness of domestic companies 
by removing tariffs which have no protective effect on inputs they need 
for manufacturing, and will reduce costs for consumers of important 
drugs.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to again commend the gentleman from 
Illinois for shepherding this bill through the subcommittee, the full 
committee, and now on the floor of the House. I urge my colleagues to 
vote for 4342.
  Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from the Virgin 
Islands (Ms. Christian-Green). H.R. 4342 includes a bill she 
introduced, which was H.R. 2498, to extend the production incentive 
certificate program to fine jewelry produced in the insular 
possessions.
  Ms. CHRISTIAN-GREEN. Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for yielding 
me this time.
  Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4342, which makes 
miscellaneous and technical changes to various trade laws. I want to 
thank the sponsors of this bill, the gentleman from California (Mr. 
Matsui) and the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane).
  And I also want to thank the chairman and ranking member of the 
Committee on Ways and Means, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Archer) and 
the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel), for including my bill to 
extend certain trade benefits of the U.S. Insular Areas under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule to certain fine jewelry.
  Madam Speaker, this is a very proud day for me, and a momentous day 
for the people of the Virgin Islands, whom I represent. It is a proud 
day because the passage of H.R. 4342 will mean that we will be one step 
closer to breathing life into an industry which at one time provided 
nearly 1,000 direct jobs for my constituents on Saint Croix and several 
thousand more indirect jobs. It would also breathe life into an economy 
which has been teetering on the brink of death for nearly 10 years.
  Since 1989, when Hurricane Hugo, the first of three major storms, hit 
our islands, our economy has been severely wounded. Even today, as this 
country is experiencing an economic boom, the economy of the Virgin 
Islands continues to decline.
  All sectors of the Virgin Islands' economy are in trouble. Tourism, 
which makes up almost 70 percent of our economy, continues to suffer 
from the effects of these storms as well as from a lack of affordable 
airline fares and other factors. As a result, we are experiencing an 
unemployment rate which has more than doubled in the past 5 years.
  Enactment of my jewelry wage credits bill will mean the creation of 
good, well-paying jobs for the Virgin Islands, utilizing an already 
existing labor force and their skills. As a recent editorial in the 
Virgin Islands Daily News noted, passage of H.R. 4342, which includes 
my jewelry bill, and I quote, ``Will go a long way towards improving 
our stagnant economy.''
  Madam Speaker, I want to thank attorney Peter Heibert for his 
invaluable assistance, and attorney Brian Modeste on my own staff for 
his diligence on this bill.
  I ask my colleagues to help me bring hope back to my district. I ask 
for a vote of ``yes'' on H.R. 4342.
  Mr. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume 
to add that the gentlewoman from the Virgin Islands has done a 
tremendous job on making sure the provisions she sought were in the 
legislation. We appreciate her efforts there.
  Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. 
Doggett), whose bill, H.R. 3375, to reduce duty temporarily on 
synthetic quartz substrates, is included in our legislation. And I want 
to congratulate him as well for his efforts to get this in there.
  Mr. DOGGETT. Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for yielding me this 
time, and certainly thank the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane) also, 
and rise in support of H.R. 4342.
  One of this bill's sections does, as the gentleman from California 
(Mr. Matsui) just noted, incorporate in its entirety a bill that I 
filed in March, H.R. 3375, to reduce tariffs on imports of synthetic 
quartz substrates.

                              {time}  1315

  These substrates are used by DuPont Photomasks based down in central 
Texas to manufacture photomasks.
  Now, photomasks are not the kind you wear on Halloween. Rather, they 
are a very important form that provide the master patterns that are 
used to transfer circuit images onto silicon wafers to make chips, 
which are in turn a very vital component of many everyday products from 
cell phones to medical equipment.
  For many years now, the central Texas high-tech workers at DuPont 
Photomasks and other of the companies along the Silicon Trail there in 
central Texas have produced the building blocks for America's 
industries into the 21st century. Every day over 300 workers go over to 
the DuPont plant.
  They are improving the semiconductor manufacturing process. They are 
involving the students and faculty at the University of Texas with some 
important educational opportunities and

[[Page H7071]]

staying right on the frontier, with their research projects, of the 
technological frontier that is so important to America's future.
  Our government should be encouraging and supporting this creative 
industry and the people who have transformed central Texas into a high-
tech center for ingenuity and growth.
  This tariff reduction is necessary because our tariff rates on these 
substrates imports have placed the DuPont facility and its central 
Texas workers at a competitive disadvantage compared to Asian photomask 
manufacturers. There are no manufacturers of these substrates here in 
the United States, and our current tariff of almost 5 percent adds 
hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs to the DuPont 
manufacturing process. This bill will remove an unnecessary cost that 
has hurt our ability to compete on the world market.
  Together with the other tariff reductions that are contained in this 
bill, they represent at least a modest but very positive statement 
about the benefits of expanding international commerce. These are 
benefits both for the United States economy and the American worker.
  I believe that our economic future lies in removing more barriers to 
trade. This is a good step forward. I urge prompt approval of this 
legislation and the principle that underlies it.
  Mr. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, last but not least, I yield 3 minutes to 
the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Traficant) who will vote for this bill.
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, I am going to vote for the bill but I 
wanted to respond to the full employment statement of the gentleman 
from Illinois (Chairman Crane) and I want to read some of the new jobs 
that have been created in the Dictionary of Labor Statistics: gizzard 
skin remover; corncob pipe assembler; fur blower; burger broiler; 
hotcake chef; ticket taker; jelly roller; cream puff specialist; manure 
handler; hardness inspector; brassiere cup molder cutter; and pantyhose 
crotch closure machine operator.
  There is also, I would say to the gentleman from Illinois, a 
pantyhose crotch closure machine operator supervisor. I would venture 
to say there is a pantyhose crotch closure machine operator foreman.
  I want to make a point here. I do not believe America is at full 
employment. I believe America is at absolutely peak underemployment, 
and many families need three, four jobs just to pay their bills. So as 
we keep watching the up and down Viagra motions of Wall Street, keep in 
mind not everything that looks so rosy smells so good when you hold it 
to your nosey on this trade business.
  Now, I do not know all the details of this trade business, but I do 
have confidence in the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane) and the 
gentleman from California (Mr. Matsui), and I will support these 
technical corrections. But I want to say this again: Individual 
bankruptcy is at an all-time high; credit car debt, all-time high. The 
American people are under the gun.
  We just have seen a strike at General Motors. Thank God it was not a 
national strike. How many of these plants will move offshore? I am 
scared to death, as every Member is, because they surely could move 
offshore under these trade laws and make more profits without our 
American workers.
  But let me tell my colleagues something. The people who pay the taxes 
to keep this freight on track are the American workers. No workers, no 
consumers. No workers, no consumers, no tax. No tax, big problems.
  So, with that, I am going to make the pitch here for tax. Let us keep 
American workers. Our tax problems will work out. I will support these 
technical corrections, but I do not want to hear any more about this 
full employment.
  I have heard enough about panty hose crotch closers, I say to the 
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane), and I think it is time he comes 
clean.
  Mr. CRANE. Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  I would simply remind my distinguished colleague the gentleman from 
Ohio (Mr. Traficant) that I have seven daughters, and so these are 
issues of concern I think to any father.
  But let me remind my distinguished colleague also of the 
consideration of the H-1(b) visa vote forthcoming that would permit 
entry into this country with special visas of 65,000 skilled, skilled, 
workers because we cannot find them in our own labor force here in the 
United States. And I would urge that he look at Congress Daily, where 
it says, ``Business groups, especially high-tech companies, want to 
increase the current annual allotment of 65,000 H-1(b) visas per year 
to address what they say is a shortage of computer workers.''
  And so we can have our honest disagreements on this. But I am so 
appreciative that the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Traficant) is, 
nonetheless, supporting this bill we have under consideration today.
  Mr. SHAW. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 4342, the 
Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 1998. This bill 
has many provisions within it which will help small companies 
throughout the United States. In particular, one provision within this 
bill will directly help many of my constituents. The provision which I 
am speaking about this afternoon will allow duty deferral of large 
yachts imported for sale at U.S. boat shows. The change will put the 
onus of paying the duty on the end purchaser of the boat and not the 
importer. Current law requires importers of used boats intended for 
resale to pay the duty in advance--this acts as a significant barrier 
to imports.
  In my district of West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, this provision 
will help spur the economy by allowing more and bigger yachts into the 
shows without having to pay the duty up front. This will lead to, 
increased sales of such large boats, which can pump tens of thousands 
of dollars into local economies because of related expenditures such as 
the cost of a supporting crew, docking fees, boat repairs, and 
supplies. The changing of this requirement will also allow importers to 
reduce the cost of starting new shows and enable small companies to 
participate in the current shows.
  In addition to the duty free entry of large yachts, this bill also 
contains provisions which will allow duty free entry of certain 
chemicals that are integral to fighting cancer and AIDS. For these 
reasons I urge a yes vote on H.R. 4342.
  Mr. MATSUI. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. CRANE. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Emerson). The question is on the motion 
offered by the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane) that the House 
suspend the rules and pass the bill, H.R. 4342, as amended.
  The question was taken; and (two-thirds having voted in favor 
thereof) the rules were suspended and the bill, as amended, was passed.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.

                          ____________________
