by him to the bill H.R. 3009, to extend the Andean Trade Preference 
Act, to grant additional trade benefits under that Act, and for other 
purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:

       At the end of section 3(b), add the following:
       (4) Limitations on trade authorities procedures.--
       (A) In general.--Notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, the provisions of section 151 of the Trade Act of 1974 
     (trade authorities procedures) shall not apply to any 
     provision in an implementing bill that modifies or amends, or 
     requires a modification of, or an amendment to, any law of 
     the United States that provides safeguards from unfair 
     foreign trade practices to United States businesses or 
     workers, including--
       (i) imposition of countervailing and antidumping duties 
     (title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; 19 U.S.C. 1671 et 
     seq.);
       (ii) protection from unfair methods of competition and 
     unfair acts in the importation of articles (section 337 of 
     the Tariff Act of 1930; 19 U.S.C. 1337);
       (iii) relief from injury caused by import competition 
     (title II of the Trade Act of 1974; 19 U.S.C. 2251 et seq.);
       (iv) relief from unfair trade practices (title III of the 
     Trade Act of 1974; 19 U.S.C. 2411 et seq.); or
       (v) national security import restrictions (section 232 of 
     the Trade Expansion Act of 1962; 19 U.S.C. 1862).
       (B) Point of order in senate.--
       (i) In general.--When the Senate is considering an 
     implementing bill, upon a point of order being made by any 
     Senator against any part of the implementing bill that 
     contains material in violation of subparagraph (A), and the 
     point of order is sustained by the Presiding Officer, the 
     part of the implementing bill against which the point of 
     order is sustained shall be stricken from the bill.
       (ii) Waivers and appeals.--

       (I) Waivers.--Before the Presiding Officer rules on a point 
     of order described in clause (i), any Senator may move to 
     waive the point of order and the motion to waive shall not be 
     subject to amendment. A point of order described in clause 
     (i) is waived only by the affirmative vote of at least three-
     fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly chosen and sworn.
       (II) Appeals.--After the Presiding Officer rules on a point 
     of order under this subparagraph, any Senator may appeal the 
     ruling of the Presiding Officer on the point of order as it 
     applies to some or all of the provisions on which the 
     Presiding Officer ruled. A ruling of the Presiding Officer on 
     a point of order described in clause (i) is sustained unless 
     at least three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, vote not to sustain the ruling.
       (III) Debate.--Debate on a motion to waive under subclause 
     (I) or on an appeal of the ruling of the Presiding Officer 
     under subclause (II) shall be limited to 1 hour. The time 
     shall be equally divided between, and controlled by, the 
     majority leader and the minority leader, or their designees.
