           By Mr. GRAVES of Missouri:
       H.R. 5399.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Article 1, Section 8; ``To regulate commerce with foreign 
     nation''
       The tariffs which are reduced or suspended in these bills 
     are not produced in the United States and therefore should 
     not be subjected to tariffs meant to protect US domestic 
     producers. Reducing or suspending trade duties on certain 
     imported products ultimately helps to lower prices of 
     finished goods for US consumers by lowering the cost to 
     produce such goods.
