     purposes of the benefits, provisions, and limitations of 
     additional U.S. note 5 to chapter 91.
       ``(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, during

     or apparatus where the instrument or apparatus, due to its 
     size, cannot be feasibly imported in its assembled state.''.

     scientific value to a foreign-origin instrument or apparatus 
     for which application is made (but which, due to its size, 
     cannot be feasibly imported in its assembled state), the 
     Secretary shall report the findings to the Secretary of the 
     Treasury and to the applicant institution, and all components 
     of such foreign-origin instrument or apparatus shall remain 
     dutiable.

       ``(ii) If the Secretary of Commerce determines that the 
     instrument or apparatus for which application is made is not 
     being manufactured in the United States, the Secretary is 
     authorized to determine further whether any component of such 
     instrument or apparatus of a type that may be purchased, 
     obtained, or imported separately 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 gentlewoman from 
Washington (Ms. Dunn) and the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin) each 
will control 20 minutes.
  The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Dunn).


                             General Leave

  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may 
have 5 legislative days within which to revise and extend their remarks 
and include extraneous material on H.R. 435.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentlewoman from Washington?
  There was no objection.
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, H.R. 435 would make miscellaneous and other technical 
and clerical corrections to trade laws. The House passed this bill on 
February 9, 1999. The Senate passed the bill with an amendment.
  The bill contains over 130 provisions temporarily suspending or 
reducing duties on a wide variety of products. A number of the duties 
and suspensions relate to different chemicals to make anti-HIV, anti-
AIDS and anti-cancer drugs. In each instance, there is either no 
domestic production of the product involved or the domestic producers 
have supported the measure.
  By suspending or reducing these duties, we can enable U.S. companies 
that use these products to be more competitive and to function more 
cost efficiently. This would create jobs for American workers as well 
as reduce costs for consumers.
  The bill also contains a number of technical trade corrections and 
miscellaneous trade provisions that have received broad bipartisan 
support and no opposition.
  For example, the bill includes a provision that would provide duty-
free treatment to participants and to individuals associated with world 
athletic events, such as the 1999 Women's World Cup soccer and the 
Special Olympics, which are being held throughout the United States. 
Other time-sensitive provisions refer to a variety of trade issues, 
including Customs preclearance activities and Customs user fees.
  This package of trade bills has been thoroughly evaluated and 
commented on by all concerned parties, including the United States 
Customs Service, the Department of Commerce, the International Trade 
Commission, the United States Trade Representative, and those firms 
which may be affected by a tariff suspension on a product they do 
produce domestically.
  The provisions that remain in the bill are completely 
noncontroversial. The Senate amendment would strike eight duty 
suspension provisions related to pigments. It would make one technical 
correction, and it would make adjustments to certain other pigment 
provisions. In addition, the amendment would ensure that all athletes 
participating in the Women's World Cup soccer and other sporting events 
are able to bring their equipment duty free.
  Apart from these changes, the Senate amendment to H.R. 435 is 
essentially identical to the version of H.R. 435 passed by the House on 
February 9, 1999. I urge my colleagues to support this time-sensitive 
legislation.
  Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 435, the Miscellaneous Trade 
and Technical Corrections Act of 1999. The bill was passed by the House 
on February 9 of this year by a vote of 414 to 0. On May 27, the Senate 
passed the bill by unanimous consent.

                              {time}  1415

  The Senate made only two amendments to the bill, neither of which 
should create concern for us in the House.
  The first is that 8 dyes were deleted from the bill's duty suspension 
provisions. These eight provisions were not sought by Members of the 
House. Accordingly, their deletion under a compromise agreement in the 
other body should not present any concerns for us.
  The second change is to make retroactive to May 15 provisions for 
ensuring the entry of the personal effects of athletes participating in 
the Women's Road Cup Soccer Tournament, the Special Olympics, and the 
2000 Olympics.
  As the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Dunn) mentioned, H.R. 435 is 
a bipartisan effort representing the collective input of many Members 
on both sides of the aisle, as well as the administration. The U.S. 
Customs Service, the Department of Commerce, the U.S. Trade 
Representative, and the U.S. ITC all have reviewed and commented on 
this bill to ensure that no domestic producers or other private sector 
interests would be adversely affected. Public input also has been 
incorporated into this bill.
  The provisions of H.R. 435 fall into three categories.
  First, the bill makes certain clerical corrections to the trade laws, 
such as amending and updating outdated provisions;
  Second, the bill contains 112 various duty suspensions and tariff 
reductions. These suspensions and reductions relate to duties on 
certain anti-HIV, AIDS and cancer drugs and duties on chemicals, raw 
materials, and miscellaneous equipment. Suspension of these duties 
reduces prices for consumers and improves the competitiveness of 
domestic manufacturers by reducing their input costs.
  H.R. 435 also allows for the duty-free entry of equipment and 
personal effects of participants in the 1999 Special Olympics, the 
Women's World Cup, and the 2002 Winter Olympics.
  Let me just say a word about the efforts here. A number of Members on 
both sides of the aisle have worked hard to see this provision become 
law, including the ranking member of the Committee on Ways and Means, 
the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel), another member of the 
committee, the gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Thurman), and others, 
such as the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Moakley) and the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi).
  Third, the bill includes additional tariff and trade provisions, such 
as authorization of custom user fees to maintain existing preclearance 
services for air and sea passengers arriving from Canada, the 
Caribbean, and Mexico.
  These authorizations are essential to maintaining the preclearance 
services that expedite the processing of passengers at our airports and 
seaports. Miscellaneous trade provisions include extension of normal 
trade relations with Mongolia.
  The small revenue loss resulting from a few provisions in the bill 
require an offset to meet budgetary requirements. This cost is offset 
by a provision in the bill that clarifies the tax treatment of certain 
corporate restructuring transactions where assets are transferred 
subject to a liability. The tax treatment under current law of these 
transactions is uncertain, and some taxpayers are restructuring 
transactions to take advantage of this uncertainty.
  In some cases, taxpayers are claiming tax bases in excess of the 
value of assets with resulting excessive depreciation deductions. The 
provision in the bill would eliminate the uncertainty and tax these 
transactions by reference to their underlying economics.
  The provisions of this bill have been thoroughly reviewed to ensure 
that they are noncontroversial and do not adversely affect U.S. 
consumers and U.S. industry.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support its final passage, and I 
reserve the balance of my time.
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from 
Illinois (Mr. Weller).
  Mr. WELLER. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend, the gentlewoman from 
Washington State (Ms. Dunn), for yielding time to me and giving me the 
opportunity to speak this afternoon on important legislation.
  I also want to thank this House for bringing this important 
legislation before us today, and welcome the opportunity to speak about 
two very, very specific provisions included in this legislation.
  This past year, Mr. Speaker, I introduced H.R. 4190 and H.R. 4191, 
legislation which temporarily suspends duties on the importation of 
pharmaceuticals which inhibit cancer and the spread of HIV and AIDS. 
This is important legislation. It is compassionate legislation

[[Page H3737]]

which deserves bipartisan support, legislation which will help families 
reduce the cost of treating AIDS and cancer, benefiting thousands upon 
thousands of American families.
  It is estimated that every year thousands of American men and women 
and children fall victim to these deadly diseases. In 1997, almost 
17,000 new cases of HIV and AIDS were reported, making the total number 
affected almost 600,000 Americans. Today the average cost of treating 
someone with HIV or AIDS is approximately $17,500 a year, and the 
lifetime cost is almost $100,000.
  Additionally, it is estimated that this year, in 1999, more than 1.2 
million new cases of cancer will be diagnosed in the United States 
alone. More than 560,000 individuals will be lost to this disease, 
while millions of family members and friends will suffer great 
emotional loss.
  Mr. Speaker, the average cost of treating a breast cancer patient is 
estimated to be about $37,000. This legislation, H.R. 435, suspends 
duties on important cancer inhibitors, helping reduce the financial 
toll of these terrible diseases on families and, of course, the 
victims.
  Mr. Speaker, this is compassionate legislation. It deserves 
bipartisan support. This legislation, taking advantage of free trade, 
will help the victims and their families of HIV, AIDS, and cancer. I 
ask for bipartisan support.
  Mrs. CHRISTENSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of H.R. 
435, the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 1999 and 
I want to congratulate my colleagues Trade Subcommittee Chairman, Phil 
Crane and Ranking Democrat Sander Levin for the Herculean effort that 
went into making passage of this bill possible today.
  My colleagues, this is a day that I have long looked forward to. For 
over two years now, a number of members from both sides of the isle 
labored long and hard to defeat one obstacle after another to make it 
possible for this bill to become law. We were almost successful at the 
end of the last Congress but ran out of time before the other body was 
able to take up the bill.
  Today I rise on behalf of my constituents to celebrate the passage of 
this bill because of what it could mean for our economy. The extension 
of the Insular Possession trade benefits which this bill provides, will 
mean that a significant number of new jobs will be created, in the 
Virgin Islands, as a direct result. Ten years ago, the Insular 
Possession trade benefits made it possible for almost 1,000 Virgin 
Islanders to be employed in the manufacturing of watches. Today, after 
several major hurricanes hit the islands there may be just over 200 
persons employed in the industry.
  That is why this bill is so very important to my constituents and me. 
It represents the first step in my legislative plan for revitalizing 
the economy of the Virgin Islands which, unfortunately has not yet 
reaped the benefits of the largest ever peace time economic expansion 
that the country as a whole is experiencing.
  In closing, I want to again express my thanks to the Leadership of 
the Ways and Means Committee for their efforts on H.R. 425. In addition 
to Mr. Crane and Mr. Matsui, I also must thank the cosponsors of my 
original bill, the gentleman from New York, Mr. Rangel, and the 
gentleman from Louisiana, Mr. Jefferson. I also want to thank, the 
Chairman of the full Ways and Means Committee, Mr. Acher, for his 
support as well.
  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I have no further requests for time, and I 
yield back the balance of my time.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Petri). The question is on the motion 
offered by the gentlewoman from Washington (Ms. Dunn) that the House 
suspend the rules and concur in the Senate amendment to the bill, H.R. 
435.
  The question was taken.
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The yeas and nays were ordered.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX and the 
Chair's prior announcement, further proceedings on this motion will be 
postponed.
