                        OPENING JAPANESE MARKETS

  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, when we go to H.R. 434, I am going to 
introduce a sense-of-the-Senate resolution encouraging the U.S. 
Government to pursue its bilateral measures with Japan and urge the 
United States to urge

[[Page S13140]]

Japan to go further to open up telecommunications markets, particularly 
its Internet services, and so forth. I will have a lot more to say at 
the appropriate time. I believe strongly that we, as a country, have to 
go further and, more importantly, Japan has to go a lot further in 
opening up its market. It would be in the best interest of Japanese 
consumers, if it were to do so, and it would surely be in the best 
interest of peoples all around the world. At the appropriate time, I 
will speak more at length.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Massachusetts is recognized.
