By Mr. THURMOND (for himself, Mr. Hollings, and Mr. Corzine):
S. 2377. A bill to suspend temporarily the duty on NeoHeliopan Hydro
(2-Phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid); to the Committee on Finance.
Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise today to introduce thirty-eight
bills which will suspend the duties imposed on certain chemicals that
are important components for a wide array of commercial applications.
Currently, these chemicals are imported for use in the United States
because there are no known domestic producers or readily available
substitutes. Therefore, suspending the duties on these chemicals would
not adversely affect domestic industries.
These bills would temporarily suspend the duty on the following:
Reduced Vat Blue 43;
Sulfur Black 1;
Mono Octyl Malionate;
Crotonic Acid;
Fluorobenzene;
Meta-Chlorobenzaldehyde;
2,6,Dichlorotoluene;
4-Bromo-2-Fluoroacetanilide;
Propiophenone;
Methoxy Acetic Acid;
Aryl Phosphonite;
Ethanediamide,--(2-Ethoxyphenyl)-N'-(4-Isodecylphenyl)-3,6,9-
Trioxaundecanedioic Acid;
Oxalic Anilide;
NeoHeliopan MA (Menthyl Anthranilate);
Alliant (Allyl Isosulfocyante);
Frescolate (5-Methyl-2-(Methylethyl)cyclohexyl Alpha-
hydroxypropanoate);
Phenyl Propyl Alcohol (Benxyl Ethyl Alcohol);
Benzyl Cinnamate (Benzyl Beta Phenylacrylate);
Methyl Cinnamate (Methyl-3-Phenylpropenoate);
Methyl Acetophenone-para (Melilot);
Trimethyl Cyclo Hexanol (1-Methyl-3,3-Dimethylcyclohexanol-5);
Acetanisole (Anisyl Methyl Ketone);
Majantol (2,2-Dimethyl-3-(3-Methylphenyl)Proponal);
Agrumex (O-T-Butyl Cyclohexanol);
Globanone (Cyclohexadec-8-EN-1-One) (CHD);
Benzyl Acetone (Methyl-Phenylethyl Ketone);
Sodium Methylate Powder (NA Methylate Powder);
NeoHeliopan Hydro (2-Phenylbenzimidazole-5-Sulfonic Acid);
Allyl Cyclo Hexyl Propionate (Allyl Hexahydro Phenylpropionate);
Thymol (Alpha-Cymophenol);
Baysilone Fluid;
N-Metyl Diisopropanolamine;
Polydimethylsiloxane;
1-Acetyl-4-(3-Dodecyl-2,5-Dioxo-1-Pyrrolidinyl)-2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-
Piperidine;
1,3-Benzenedicarboxamide,N,N'-Bis(2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4-Piperidinyl)-
P-Nitro Toluene-O-Sulfonic acid; and
3-Dodecyl-1-(2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-4-Piperidinyl)-2,5-Pyrrolidinedione.
These chemicals are used in a wide variety of manufacturing processes
to produce agricultural chemicals, pharmaceuticals, fragrances, textile
fibers, dyes, pigments, and other products.
Suspending the duty on these chemicals will benefit the consumer by
stabilizing the costs of manufacturing the end-use products. Further,
these suspensions will allow domestic producers to maintain or improve
their ability to compete internationally. Finally, the importers of
these products create jobs and incomes for Americans workers. I hope
the Senate will consider these measures expeditiously.
I ask unanimous consent that the text of these bills be printed in
the Record.
There being no objection, the bills were ordered to be printed in the
Record, as follows:
