  SA 1255. Mr. BROWN submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to 
amendment SA 1221 proposed by Mr. Hatch to the bill H.R. 1314, to amend 
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for a right to an 
administrative appeal relating to adverse determinations of tax-exempt 
status of certain organizations; which was ordered to lie on the table; 
as follows:

       At the end of section 102(b)(1), add the following:
       (C) to obtain competitive opportunities for United States 
     exports of goods by--
       (i) providing reasonable adjustment periods for import-
     sensitive products manufactured in the United States and 
     maintaining close consultation with Congress with respect to 
     those products before initiating negotiations for a trade 
     agreement that reduces tariffs;
       (ii) taking into account whether a party to negotiations 
     for a trade agreement has failed to adhere to any provision 
     of an existing trade agreement with the United States or has 
     circumvented any obligation under any such existing trade 
     agreement; and
       (iii) taking into account whether a product is subject to 
     market distortions by reason of--

       (I) the failure of a major producing country, as determined 
     by the President, to adhere to any provision of an existing 
     trade agreement with the United States; or
       (II) the circumvention by that country of its obligations 
     under an existing trade agreement with the United States.
