``(1) In general.--For purposes of this section, section
358(d), section 362(d), section 368(a)(1)(C), and section
368(a)(2)(B), except as provided in regulations--

(2) Limitation on basis increase attributable to assumption
of liability.--Section 362 of such Code is amended by adding
at the end the following new subsection:
``(d) Limitation on Basis Increase Attributable to
Assumption of Liability.--
``(1) In general.--In no event shall the basis of any
property be increased under subsection (a) or (b) above the

an assumption of a nonrecourse liability by a transferee

gain,
then, for purposes of determining basis under subsections (a)
and (b), the amount of gain recognized by the transferor as a
result of the assumption of the liability shall be determined

transferee's ratable portion of such liability determined on

without regard to section 7701(g)) of all of the assets
subject to such liability.''.
(c) Application to Provisions Other Than Subchapter C.--

[[Page H3736]]
(e) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section
shall apply to transfers after October 18, 1998.
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.
