     SEC. XXX. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE REPUBLIC OF 
                   KOREA'S IMPROPER BAILOUT OF HYNIX 
                   SEMICONDUCTOR.

       (a) FINDINGS.--Congress finds that--
       (1) the Government of the Republic of Korea over many years 
     has supplied aid to the Korean semiconductor industry 
     enabling that industry to be the Republic of Korea's leading 
     exporter;
       (2) this assistance has occurred through a coordinated 
     series of government programs and policies, consisting of 
     preferential access to credit, low-interest loans, government 
     grants, preferential tax programs, government inducement of 
     private sector loans, tariff reductions, and other measures;
       (3) in December 1997, the United States, the International 
     Monetary Fund (IMF), other foreign government entities, and a 
     group of international financial institutions assembled an 
     unprecedented $58,000,000,000 financial package to prevent 
     the Korean economy from declaring bankruptcy;
       (4) as part of that rescue package, the Republic of Korea 
     agreed to put an end to corporate cronyism, and to overhaul 
     the banking and financial sectors;
       (5) Korea also pledged to permit and require banks to run 
     on market principles, to allow and enable bankruptcies and 
     workouts to occur rather than bailouts, and to end subsidies;
       (6) the Republic of Korea agreed to all of these provisions 
     in the Stand-by Arrangement with the IMF dated December 3, 
     1997;
       (7) section 602 of the Foreign Operations, Export 
     Financing, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as 
     enacted by section 101(d) of Division A of the Omnibus 
     Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act 
     (Public Law 105-277; 112 Stat. 2681-220) specified that the 
     United States would not authorize further IMF payments to 
     Korea unless the Secretary of the Treasury certified that the 
     provisions of the IMF Standby Arrangement were adhered to;
       (8) the Secretary of the Treasury certified to Congress on 
     December 11, 1998, and July 2, 1999 that the Stand-
     by Arrangement was being adhered to, and assured Congress 
     that consultations had been held with the Government of 
     the Republic of Korea in connection with the 
     certifications;
       (9) the Republic of Korea has acceded to the World Trade 
     Organization, and to the Agreement of Subsidies and 
     Countervailing Measures (as defined in section 101(d)(12) of 
     the Uruguay Round Agreements Act);
       (10) the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures 
     specifically prohibits export subsidies, and makes actionable 
     other subsidies bestowed upon a specific enterprise that 
     causes adverse effects.
       (11) Hynix Semiconductor is a major exporter of 
     semiconductor products from the Republic of Korea to the 
     United States; and
       (12) the Republic of Korea has now engaged in a massive 
     $5,000,000,000 bailout of Hynix Semiconductor which 
     contravenes the commitments the Government of the Republic of 
     Korea made to the IMF, the World Trade Organization and in 
     other agreements, and the understandings and certifications 
     made to Congress under the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency 
     Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999:
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that--
       (1) The Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of 
     Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative should 
     forthwith request consultations with the Republic of Korea 
     under Article 4 and Article 7 of the Agreement on Subsidies 
     and Countervailing Measures of the World Trade Organization, 
     and take immediately such other actions as are necessary to 
     assure that the improper bailout by the Republic of Korea is 
     stopped, and its effects fully offset or reversed;
       (2) the relationship between the United States and Republic 
     of Korea has been and will continue to be harmed 
     significantly by the bailout of a major exporter of products 
     from Korea to the United States;
       (3) the Republic of Korea should end immediately the 
     bailout of Hynix Semiconductor;
       (4) the Republic of Korea should comply immediately with 
     its commitments to the IMF, with its trade agreements, and 
     with the assurances it made to the Secretary of the Treasury; 
     and
       (5) the United States Trade Representative and the 
     Secretary of Commerce should monitor and report to Congress 
     on steps that have been taken to end this bailout and reverse 
     its effects.
