CHAPTER 2--SPECIAL CLASSIFICATION RELATING TO PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND
TESTING
SEC. 1411. SHORT TITLE.
This chapter may be cited as the ``Product Development and
Testing Act of 2000''.
SEC. 1412. FINDINGS; PURPOSE.
(a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
(1)(A) A substantial amount of development and testing
occurs in the United States incident to the introduction and
manufacture of new products for both domestic consumption and
export overseas.
(B) Testing also occurs with respect to merchandise that
has already been introduced into commerce to insure that it
continues to meet specifications and performs as designed.
(2) The development and testing that occurs in the United
States incident to the introduction and manufacture of new
products, and with respect to products which have already
been introduced into commerce, represents a significant
industrial activity employing highly-skilled workers in the
United States.
(3)(A) Under the current laws affecting the importation of
merchandise, such as the provisions of part I of title IV of
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), goods
commonly referred to as ``prototypes'', used for product
development testing and product evaluation purposes, are
subject to customs duty upon their importation into the
United States unless the prototypes qualify for duty-free
treatment under special trade programs or unless the
prototypes are entered under a temporary importation bond.
[[Page H6919]]
(B) In addition, the United States Customs Service has
determined that the value of prototypes is to be included in
the value of production articles if the prototypes are the
result of the same design and development effort as the
articles.
(4)(A) Assessing duty on prototypes twice, once when the
prototypes are imported and a second time thereafter as part
of the cost of imported production merchandise, discourages
development and testing in the United States, and thus
encourages development and testing to occur overseas, since,
in that case, duty will only be assessed once, upon the
importation of production merchandise.
(B) Assessing duty on these prototypes twice unnecessarily
inflates the cost to businesses, thus reducing their
competitiveness.
(5) Current methods for avoiding the excessive assessment
of customs duties on the importation of prototypes, including
the use of temporary importation entries and obtaining
drawback, are unwieldy, ineffective, and difficult for both
importers and the United States Customs Service to
administer.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of this chapter is to promote
product development and testing in the United States by
permitting the importation of prototypes on a duty-free
basis.
SEC. 1413. AMENDMENTS TO HARMONIZED TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE
UNITED STATES.
(a) Heading.--Subchapter XVII of Chapter 98 is amended by
inserting in numerical sequence the following new heading:
`` 9817.85.01 Prototypes to be Free ................... The rate applicable
used exclusively in the absence of
for development, this heading
testing, product ''
evaluation or .
quality control
purposes..........
(b) U.S. Note.--The U.S. Notes to subchapter XVII of
chapter 98 are amended by adding at the end the following:
``6. The following provisions apply to heading 9817.85.01:
``(a) The term `prototypes' means originals or models of
articles that--
``(i) are either in the preproduction, production, or
postproduction stage and are to be used exclusively for
development, testing, product evaluation, or quality control
purposes; and
``(ii) in the case of originals or models of articles that
are either in the production or postproduction stage, are
associated with a design change from current production
(including a refinement, advancement, improvement,
development, or quality control in either the product itself
or the means for producing the product).
For purposes of clause (i), automobile racing shall not be
considered to be ``development, testing, product evaluation,
or quality control.''.
``(b)(i) Prototypes (as defined in paragraph (a)) may only
be imported in limited noncommercial quantities in accordance
with industry practice.
``(ii) Prototypes (as defined in paragraph (a)), or parts
of prototypes, may not be sold (including sale for scrap
purposes) after importation into the United States or be
incorporated into other products.
``(c) Articles subject to quantitative restrictions,
antidumping orders, or countervailing duty orders, may not be
classified as prototypes under this note. Articles subject to
licensing requirements, or which must comply with laws,
rules, or regulations administered by agencies other than the
United States Customs Service before being imported, may be
classified as prototypes, provided that they comply with all
applicable provisions of law and otherwise meet the
definition of `prototypes' under paragraph (a).''.
SEC. 1414. ENTRY PROCEDURES.
The Secretary of the Treasury shall establish regulations
for the identification of prototypes at the time of
importation into the United States in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter and the amendments made by this
chapter.
SEC. 1415. EFFECTIVE DATE.
This chapter, and the amendments made by this chapter,
shall apply with respect to--
(1) an entry of a prototype under heading 9817.85.01, as
added by section 1413(a), on or after the date of the
enactment of this Act; and
(2) an entry of a prototype (as defined in U.S. Note 6(a)
to subchapter XVII of chapter 98, as added by section
1413(b)) under heading 9813.00.30 for which liquidation has
not become final as of the date of enactment of this Act.
CHAPTER 3--PROHIBITION ON IMPORTATION OF PRODUCTS MADE WITH DOG OR CAT
FUR
SEC. 1421. SHORT TITLE.
This chapter may be cited as the ``Dog and Cat Protection
Act of 2000''.
SEC. 1422. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) An estimated 2,000,000 dogs and cats are slaughtered
and sold annually as part of the international fur trade.
Internationally, dog and cat fur is used in a wide variety of
products, including fur coats and jackets, fur trimmed
garments, hats, gloves, decorative accessories, stuffed
animals, and other toys.
(2) The United States represents one of the largest markets
for the sale of fur and fur products in the world. Market
demand for fur products in the United States has led to the
introduction of dog and cat fur products into United States
commerce, frequently based on deceptive or fraudulent
labeling of the products to disguise the true origin of the
fur.
(3) Dog and cat fur, when dyed, is not easily
distinguishable to persons who are not experts from other
furs such as fox, rabbit, coyote, wolf, and mink, and
synthetic materials made to resemble real fur. Dog and cat
fur is generally less expensive than other types of fur and
may be used as a substitute for more expensive types of furs,
which provides an incentive to engage in unfair or fraudulent
trade practices in the importation, exportation,
distribution, or sale of fur products, including deceptive
labeling and other practices designed to disguise the true
contents or origin of the product.
(4) Forensic texts have documented that dog and cat fur
products are being imported into the United States subject to
deceptive labels or other practices designed to conceal the
use of dog or cat fur in the production of wearing apparel,
toys, and other products.
(5) Publicly available evidence reflects ongoing
significant use of dogs and cats bred expressly for their fur
by foreign fur producers for manufacture into wearing
apparel, toys, and other products that have been introduced
into United States commerce. The evidence indicates that
foreign fur producers also rely on the use of stray dogs and
cats and stolen pets for the manufacture of fur products
destined for the world and United States markets.
(6) The methods of housing, transporting, and slaughtering
dogs and cats for fur production are generally unregulated
and inhumane.
(7) The trade of dog and cat fur products is ethically and
aesthetically abhorrent to United States citizens. Consumers
in the United States have a right to know if products offered
for sale contain dog or cat fur and to ensure that they are
not unwitting participants in this gruesome trade.
(8) Persons who engage in the sale of dog or cat fur
products, including the fraudulent trade practices identified
above, gain an unfair competitive advantage over persons who
engage in legitimate trade in apparel, toys, and other
products, and derive an unfair benefit from consumers who buy
their products.
(9) The imposition of a ban on the sale, manufacture, offer
for sale, transportation, and distribution of dog and cat fur
products, regardless of their source, is consistent with the
international obligations of the United States as it applies
equally to domestic and foreign entities. Such a ban is also
consistent with provisions of international agreements to
which the United States is a party that expressly allow for
measures designed to protect the health and welfare of
animals and to enjoin the use of deceptive trade practices in
international or domestic commerce.
(b) Purposes.--The purposes of this chapter are to--
(1) prohibit imports, exports, sale, manufacture, offer for
sale, transportation, and distribution in the United States
of dog and cat fur products, in order to ensure that United
States market demand does not provide an incentive to
slaughter dogs or cats for their fur;
(2) require accurate labeling of fur species so that
consumers in the United States can make informed choices and
ensure that they are not unwitting contributors to this
gruesome trade; and
(3) ensure that the customs laws of the United States are
not undermined by illicit international traffic in dog and
cat fur products.
SEC. 1423. PROHIBITION ON IMPORTATION OF PRODUCTS MADE WITH
DOG OR CAT FUR.
Title III of the Tariff Act of 1930 is amended by inserting

manner the functions and responsibilities of the Secretary of
the Treasury under the customs laws of the United States.

active, continuing oversight of this section, the Secretary
shall provide the following:

and to determine the true content of such products.
``(2) Report on enforcement efforts.--Not later than 1 year
after the date of enactment of this section, and on an annual

enforce the provisions of this section and the adequacy of
the resources to do so. The report shall include an analysis
of the training of Customs Service personnel to identify dog
and cat fur products effectively and to take appropriate
action to enforce this section.''.

required for determinations of admissibility.
(b) Specific Matters.--In preparing the report required by
subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury shall
specifically report on the following:
(1) Import procedures, including specific data items
collected, that are required prior and subsequent to the

TITLE II--OTHER TRADE PROVISIONS
SEC. 2001. TRADE ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE FOR CERTAIN WORKERS
AFFECTED BY ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION OR
CLOSURE OF A COPPER MINING FACILITY.
(a) Certification of Eligibility for Workers Required for
Closure of Facility.--
(1) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law
or any decision by the Secretary of Labor denying
certification or eligibility for certification for adjustment
assistance under title II of the Trade Act of 1974, a
qualified worker described in paragraph (2) shall be
certified by the Secretary as eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under such title II.

``qualified worker'' means a worker who--
(A) was determined to be covered under Trade Adjustment
Assistance Certification TA-W-31,402; and
(B) was necessary for the environmental remediation or
closure of a copper mining facility.
(b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by this section
shall take effect on the date of enactment of this Act.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Crane) and the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin) each
will control 20 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane).
General Leave
Mr. CRANE. 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. 4868.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Illinois?
There was no objection.
Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, H.R. 4868 would make miscellaneous and other technical
and clerical corrections to the trade laws. The Committee on Ways and
Means favorably reported the bill on July 19, 2000.
This bill contains over 155 provisions temporarily suspending or
reducing duties on a wide variety of chemicals, including drugs used in
the battle against HIV/AIDS and anticancer drugs, environmentally
friendly herbicides and insecticides, and many organic dyes.
In each instance, there is either no domestic production of the
product involved or the domestic producer supported the measure.
By suspending or reducing these duties, we can enable U.S. companies
that use these products to be more competitive and cost efficient. This
would help create jobs for American workers as well as reduce costs for
consumers.
Also, the bill includes two other important provisions which I
introduced earlier in this Congress. The first provision would reduce
the duty rate, returning travellers pay to an amount more in line with
the average duty rate of imported commercial merchandise. My second
provision would provide duty free treatment to participants and
individuals associated with all international athletic events held in
the United States.
The bill also contains a ban on the import of products made from dog
and cat fur and provisions that would help simplify customs entry
processing.
This package of trade bills has been thoroughly evaluated and
commented on by all concerned parties, including the U.S. Customs
Service, the International Trade Commission, the United States Trade
Representative, and firms which may be affected by tariff suspension on
a product they produced domestically. The suspensions and duty
reductions that remain on the bill are completely noncontroversial.
Mr. Speaker, I include for the Record the following exchange of
letters:
Committee on Ways and Means,
U.S. House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, July 18, 2000.
Hon. Tom Bliley,
Chairman, Committee on Commerce, U.S. House of
Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter regarding your
Committee's jurisdictional interest in H.R. 4868, the
``Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of
2000.''
I acknowledge your Committee's jurisdiction over this
legislation and appreciate your cooperation in moving the
bill to the House floor expeditiously. I agree that your
decision to forego further action on the bill will not
prejudice the Commerce Committee with respect to its
jurisdictional prerogatives on this or similar legislation,
and will support your request for conferees on those
provisions within the Committee on Commerce's jurisdiction
should they be the subject of a House-Senate conference. I
will also include a copy of your letter and this response in
our report on the legislation and as part of the
Congressional Record when the legislation is considered by
the House.
Thank you again for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Bill Archer,
Chairman.
____
U.S. House of Representatives,
Committee on Commerce,
Washington, DC, July 18, 2000.
Hon. Bill Archer,
Chairman, Committee on Ways and Means, Washington, DC.
Dear Bill: I am writing regarding H.R. 4868, the
Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2000. As
you know, section 1423 of this legislation prohibits the
importation and other commerce in products containing dog and
cat fur. The Committee on Commerce has jurisdiction over this
provision pursuant to its authority over interstate and
foreign commerce generally pursuant to clause I of Rule X of
the Rules of the House of Representatives.
However, in light of your desire to have the House consider
this legislation expeditiously, I will not exercise the
Committee on Commerce's right to act on the legislation. By
agreeing to waive its consideration of the bill, however, the
Commerce Committee does not waive its jurisdiction over this
bill. In addition, the Commerce Committee reserves its
authority to seek conferees on any provisions of the bill
that are within the jurisdiction during any House-Senate
conference that may be convened on this or similar
legislation. I ask that you support our request in this
regard.
I ask that you include a copy of this letter and your response in
your committee's report on the legislation and the Record during
consideration of the bill on the House floor. I remain,
Sincerely,
Tom Bliley,
Chairman.
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. 4868. This bill reflects a
bipartisan effort. It reflects the input of individual Members as well
as the administration. The rule of thumb in putting this bill together,
as in the past, was the provisions should be noncontroversial and carry
a minimal cost. That rule was followed here.
As the title suggests, the provisions in this bill are of a technical
nature, but these technical changes can have a real concrete impact on
U.S. businesses, farmers, workers, and consumers.
For example, the bill suspends or reduces import duties on over 150
items. This improves the competitiveness of domestic manufacturing by
reducing the price of inputs. It also provides a benefit to consumers
by reducing the price of goods not produced in commercial quantities in
the U.S., including anti-HIV/AIDS drugs.
The bill also includes an important provision to encourage product
development and testing in the United States. It makes the importation
of prototypes for development, testing, product evaluation, or quality
control purposes duty free.
Currently, the value of such prototypes is effectively taxed twice,
once when the prototype was imported for testing and again as part of
the value of the finished product. This bill would eliminate that
double dip which discourages testing and development of products in our
country.
The bill also includes important provisions to streamline import
processing. This will alleviate some of the administrative burden that
can delay the shipment of goods from port to consumer.
Finally, I would like to mention that, thanks to the hard work of the
able gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Kleczka), my friend and colleague,
the bill contains a prohibition on importation of goods made from dog
or cat fur. This is a significant provision that serves a humane
consumer protection purpose, and we are very pleased to be in support
of it.
I urge my colleagues to support passage of this bill.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the distinguished
gentleman from Florida (Mr. Shaw), a member of the committee.
Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Illinois for
yielding me this time.
[[Page H6923]]
Mr. Speaker, this bill, a portion of this bill, requires that the
Commissioner of Customs enter into a fee-for-service agreement to
provide international air cargo customs service at the Fort Lauderdale-
Hollywood International Airport.
Because of the difficulties that the airport has experienced in
establishing the fee-for-service arrangements, the airport recently
lost significant international air cargo business at its facility.
The provision of cargo clearance, inspection and other Customs
services is a fundamental governmental function.
Once Customs cargo inspection services have been provided under a
fee-for-service agreement for 2 years, and the Airport has established
air cargo business of at least 29,000 commercial consumption entries a
year, the Commissioner will provide Customs services to the Airport
without requiring additional fees for those services.
{time} 1945
This will merely put the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International
Airport on the same basis as other airports of similar size where such
Customs services are already available.
Another portion of this bill, which I was pleased to sponsor,
provides for customs fees on arrival of ferries. The Consolidated
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 precluded Customs from
charging customs user fees for passengers on ferry boats. This has
prevented Customs from issuing landing rights to ferries arriving in
South Florida and its coastal region.
To correct this situation, COBRA is amended to permit the collection
of customs user fees to enable Customs to issue landing rights to
ferries operating in South Florida. Ferries will now be able to operate
between the United States and other Caribbean countries, provided they
are within 300 miles of the United States. This will help promote
tourism and trade.
Another area which I am hopeful will become a part of this bill
before it is finally enacted into law was a provision I was working on
with the gentleman from New York (Mr. Rangel), and that is the question
of prohibiting the sale of gray market cigarettes. These are cigarettes
that are produced in the United States for export into other countries
but somehow find their way back into this country.
The presence of these cigarettes is going to cost my own State of
Florida about $100 million a year, and it is time we act on this and
stop the reimportation of these cigarettes that are produced for the
foreign market.
Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Wisconsin (Mr. Kleczka).
Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this bill, and
I would like to acknowledge my friend, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr.
Crane), and also the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin) for agreeing
to include in this bill a ban on the importation, exporting and
interstate commerce of items of clothing or toys, children's toys, made
from dog and cat fur.
The issue was brought to my attention by the Humane Society of the
United States, who, for over 18 months, conducted an undercover
investigation of not only the conditions of animals but the slaughter
of these animals, and then finally the products that were made from the
animal fur and shipped into this country. They handed their
investigation and the results of their investigation over to the
Dateline NBC program, which about a year and a half ago broadcast a
long segment on the clothing that is being sold here in this country
and the toys being sold to our children made from dog and cat fur.
After working with Senator Roth in the other body, we did introduce
legislation in both Houses to ban this practice. This legislation, I am
happy to say, includes that ban.
Mr. Speaker, here in this country, in the United States, over 65
million households have pets, either cats or dogs; and clearly I find
it and they find it very deplorable that the clothing they might buy at
their local store or the toy they might buy for their children is made
in another country from the hide of a domestic dog or a domestic cat.
This bill, as I indicated, will ban this abhorrent practice.
Again, I want to thank not only the chairman and ranking member, but
I also want to publicly acknowledge the hard work of the Humane Society
of the United States, which worked tirelessly to bring this to a halt,
and I think tonight's action on this bill and subsequent Senate action
will do just that.
Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Arizona (Mr. Hayworth).
(Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to revise and extend his
remarks.)
Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, far from the roar of the grease paint and
the smell of the crowd when we enter a political season where we
accentuate our differences, it is very easy to lose track of those
areas where the real work of government occurs. Such is the case with
this bill, H.R. 4868, the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections
Act of 2000.
I am pleased to rise and speak in favor of this legislation because
it will temporarily suspend the duty on dozens of items that are not
produced in the United States and consequently have to be imported.
They include drugs, as the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Levin), the
ranking member of the Subcommittee on Trade, mentioned, drugs used in
the fight against HIV-AIDS and environmentally friendly herbicides and
insecticides.
Mr. Speaker, I would be remiss if I did not mention now and thank the
chairman of the Subcommittee on Trade, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr.
Crane), for including in the package several bills I introduced to
suspend the duty on certain chemicals, chemicals vital to American
industry and to our quality of life. Let me also commend the
subcommittee chairman, Mr. Speaker, for including legislation
introduced by our colleague, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Collins),
legislation of which I am a cosponsor, that reduces the duty on steam
generators, as we work on an energy policy for our Nation.
All of these provisions further the sound trade policy the chairman
always tries to pursue because these products are not manufactured
anywhere in the United States and, consequently, it makes no sense to
tax their importation.
This is an excellent package of noncontroversial items. It offers the
best examples of what we can do working together, and we rise not in
partisanship but in progress with this legislation. Accordingly, Mr.
Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support it.
Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Michigan (Mr. Stupak).
Mr. STUPAK. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this
time, and I rise today to support this bill and to thank the leadership
of the Committee on Ways and Means, both Democrats and Republicans, for
inserting my provision in H.R. 4868 that extends Trade Adjustment
Assistance to former copper mine employees in White Pine, Michigan.
White Pine is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a region famous
for its vast quantities of copper and timber. In 1995, the Copper Range
Company in White Pine extracted its last pieces of copper. The
Department of Labor concluded that increased copper imports from Canada
resulted from NAFTA were directly responsible for the mine's demise.
The ensuing mine closure left many of its employees with an uncertain
future as they contemplated career changes or leaving the area. While
some former employees chose to leave the area in search of new jobs,
others sought Trade Adjustment Assistance for worker retraining. Almost
89 percent of the Copper Range employees were laid off in September of
1995. I led the fight to make sure that they were all deemed eligible
for TAA benefits by the Department of Labor.
Meanwhile, the company retained fewer than 20 employees for an
environmental remediation of the mine. This work will be finished next
year. Unfortunately, the employees who stayed behind to help clean up
the mining site have been deprived of TAA benefits. They were denied by
the Department of Labor because they did not perform a job that
supported the production of copper.
However, under TAA standards, all employees of a company which closed
because of NAFTA are eligible for Trade Adjustment Assistance, whether
they are security guards, secretaries
[[Page H6924]]
or, in this case, miners. It only makes sense that the employees
providing environmental remediation at Copper Range should receive the
same TAA benefits that their coworkers received in 1995.
This legislation, with the help of members of the Committee on Ways
and Means, will correct this oversight. The passage of this legislation
ensures that these employees, with assistance under TAA, will find
future employment. The passage of this legislation ensures that all
employees will continue to provide for their families while they
explore their employment opportunities.
It is only fair to provide these workers with access to the TAA
benefits they rightfully deserve, and I urge my colleagues to support
this legislation.
After we pass this legislation, I know there is companion legislation
in the other body, so, hopefully, we can correct this and pass this
legislation this year to help all these employees and to provide the
other benefits found in H.R. 4868. I urge my colleagues to support the
bill.
Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Pennsylvania (Mr. English).
Mr. ENGLISH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute the chairman and members
of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade and to rise in strong
support of H.R. 4868, the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections
Act.
This is good legislation which represents an important piece of
housekeeping in our national trade policy. It is legislation which
includes numerous noncontroversial trade provisions. This legislation
provides for temporary duty suspensions on a variety of products,
including environmentally friendly herbicides and fungicides.
Frequently, Mr. Speaker, Congress needs to make technical changes to
our trade laws to suspend or reduce tariffs on certain products or
chemicals which are not produced domestically. This process is done
through the voluntary submission of requests to the Subcommittee on
Trade by the administration, by Members of Congress, and by the public,
which is then vetted through a public comment period. The subcommittee
has done excellent due diligence in producing this product. Should any
opposition arise regarding a specific trade provision, they set it
aside; and they have presented here a consensus piece of work.
In some cases, American companies and farmers clearly need products
or chemicals which are not produced in the United States. Under those
circumstances, it does not make sense for us to apply tariffs in those
situations. Since these products are not manufactured in the U.S., and
their sale will not harm any domestic industry, it is neither necessary
nor desirable to maintain these tariffs on such goods. A temporary duty
suspension makes products more competitive and helps reduce costs for
the farmers and the consumers who utilize these product or chemicals.
I urge my colleagues to support this miscellaneous trade bill. We
think that this is an important addition to our trade policy, and our
hope is that this Chamber will embrace this legislation and send it
forward.
Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Kucinich), a very active Member of this House.
Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me this
time, and I want to begin by thanking the chairman, the gentleman from
Illinois (Mr. Crane), and the ranking member, the gentleman from
Michigan (Mr. Levin), for their leadership on this in the Ways and
Means Subcommittee on Trade.
I would like to bring to the attention of my colleagues an important
provision in the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act,
which prohibits the importation of products made with dog and cat fur
into the United States. This provision is from H.R. 1622, the Dog and
Cat Protection Act, a bill which has broad bipartisan support and 93
cosponsors.
A local television station, Channel 8 in my district, in Cleveland,
Ohio, recently aired an investigation on the dog and cat fur industry.
After that program aired, people called me in tears, in tears, to think
that dogs and cats, God's creatures, defenseless animals that we love,
could be treated with such cruelty, killed for their fur. My
constituents were outraged that this practice was allowed to occur and
deluged the station with over 3,000 phone calls expressing their shock,
and asking what could be done to end this horrible trade.
Since the airing of the program, my office has received over 700
calls, letters, and e-mail messages from constituents who are very
concerned about the mistreatment of dogs and cats and who support a
prohibition on the importation of products made from dog and cat fur.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend Dick Goddard, Channel 8's
respected weatherman, and the entire Channel 8 news team for their work
in bringing awareness of this cruelty to the people of northeast Ohio.
I want to thank also the Humane Society of the United States, which
conducted an 18-month investigation which uncovered the international
trade and products made from dog and cat fur. They discovered that dog
and cat fur products are in widespread use overseas in a variety of
garments, including coats, hats, and gloves and animal figurines. It
was even discovered that one of the largest clothing retailers in the
United States was unknowingly selling products made with dog fur.
When dog and cat fur is dyed, it is nearly impossible to distinguish
it from other fur species. Fur companies purposely mislead consumers by
not labeling or mislabeling their products. The only accurate way to
determine fur species is through DNA testing.
{time} 2000
An estimated 2 million dogs and cats are killed each year for their
fur as part of an international fur trade. The animals are kept in
deplorable conditions and are brutally killed by a number of inhumane
methods, including clubbing and skinning alive.
Now, Americans love their pets. I remember our own family dogs,
Spotty and Daisy, who gave us so much joy. And I know why Americans
feel so strongly about animals. I also know that over 65 million
households have a dog or a cat and many people consider their pets to
be members of the family.
Americans deserve to be protected from unknowingly participating in
this gruesome practice. I fully support this ban. I believe we must
work to provide humane treatment for all animals. I urge my colleagues
to support strong legislation to protect American consumers from
unknowingly supporting an industry that involves the brutal slaughter
of dogs and cats.
When I first heard about this, Mr. Speaker, I told the people of
Cleveland that Congress would respond. Congress has responded. I want
to say that again. When I first heard about this and the TV station
received thousands of calls and my office received hundreds of calls, I
told the people to have confidence that Congress would respond.
The gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Crane) and the gentleman from
Michigan (Mr. Levin) have answered that with a ringing support for the
concerns of the people. I thank them on behalf of all the people in my
district and also on behalf of all pet lovers in this country.
Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Texas
(Mr. Gonzalez).
Mr. GONZALEZ. Mr. Speaker, today H.R. 4868 will, in part, designate
San Antonio's International Airport as a point of entry.
Later today in this Chamber we will congratulate Mexico on its recent
democratic elections, making this airport designation a timely one due
to the City of San Antonio's close cultural and business relationship
with Mexico.
This airport designation is important to my city so that it can
further develop its business ties with Mexico that have already
expanded since the approval of NAFTA.
However, significant barriers exist for the private aircraft operator
that result in extra time and cost due to interim stops that must be
made for Customs processing before coming to San Antonio.
Both business and trade leaders have indicated that business will be
helped if San Antonio could receive noncommercial aircraft from Mexico
on short notice. Several of San Antonio's large corporations have
expanded business trade with Mexico and fly private aircraft into
Mexico on a regular basis.

Finally, San Antonio is well equipped to handle a point-of-entry
flight, as U.S. Customs has a significant presence at the San Antonio
International Airport.
In closing, I want to express special thanks to all members of the
Committee on Ways and Means for making this a reality for San Antonio
and their assistance.
Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from West Virginia (Mr. Wise) my colleague and classmate.
Mr. WISE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me the
time.
Mr. Speaker, I thank the members of the majority and minority on the
Committee on Ways and Means for bringing this bill to the floor.
In a lot of times in the sweeping debates on major trade policy a
bill will pass, and then it is necessary to go back and realize there
were certain situations that were not dealt with or perhaps the law of
unintended consequences took effect. That is what this bill is about.
I just want to say that there are provisions in this bill that are
important to working men and women across our country, certainly in my
State of West Virginia. I am very grateful to the chairman and ranking
member of the Committee on Ways and Means for putting this bill
together, for bringing it to the floor, and for recognizing sometimes
the law of unintended consequences and working to make our working men
and women much more competitive.
So I think this is an important bill. I rise strongly in support and
urge its adoption tonight.
Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues, in conclusion, please, as we can
see clearly, this is a bill that is noncontroversial. We enjoy good,
strong bipartisan support. I ask all my colleagues to get on board and
vote for H.R. 4868.
Mr. MANZULLO. Mr. Speaker, last March, I introduced a miscellaneous
tariff correction bill (H.R. 3715) to help keep the remaining cathode
ray tube and computer display screen manufacturers in the United
States. After careful review by the Administration and the Ways and
Means Committee, this bill was changed to provide a 3-year duty
suspension on monochrome glass envelopes. Also, my office has been
given assurances that the permanent removal of the tariff on monochrome
glass envelopes will be an item of discussion during the next round of
global trade talks.
Monochrome glass envelopes are used to make cathode ray tubes that
provide the ``light'' behind the computer monitor. When the tariff on
monochrome glass envelopes was first proposed, there were American
manufacturers of this product. But over the last few years, the final
American manufacturer of monochrome glass envelopes decided to get out
of the business. Thus, the tariff duty designed to provide a modest
level of protection for U.S. makers of monochrome glass envelopes no
longer serves its purpose. In fact, the import duty is now hurting the
international competitiveness of U.S. cathode ray tube and computer
display screen manufacturers.
Other foreign competitors are able to purchase monochrome glass
envelopes without this tariff. Thus, they are able to price their
computer monitors in the U.S. more competitively than U.S.
manufacturers of equivalent product. Mr. Speaker, there should not be a
U.S.-government imposed incentive for Americans to buy foreign computer
display screens! That's why I ask my colleagues to support the
Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2000 because
section 1247 of this legislation waives the import tariff on monochrome
glass envelopes for three years. We need to remove the import tariff on
monochrome glass envelopes so that American manufacturers of cathode
ray tubes and computer monitors can compete on a more equal footing
with their foreign counterparts.
Finally, I want to thank the chairman of the Ways and Means Trade
Subcommittee, Mr. Crane, the ranking minority member, Mr. Levin, and
the staff of the subcommittee for all the hard work that went into
including the 3-year duty suspension of monochrome glass envelopes in
H.R. 4868.
Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Hutchinson). 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. 4868, as amended.
The question was taken.
Mr. LEVIN. 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.
