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:

       Beginning on page 33, strike line 10 and all that follows 
     through page 34, line 4, and insert the following:
       (16) Trade remedy laws.--The principal negotiating 
     objectives of the United States with respect to trade remedy 
     laws are the following:
       (A) To preserve the ability of the United States to enforce 
     vigorously its trade laws, including antidumping and 
     countervailing duty and safeguard laws, and not to enter into 
     agreements that lessen in any respect the effectiveness of 
     domestic and international disciplines--
       (i) on unfair trade, especially dumping and subsidies, or
       (ii) that address import increases or surges, such as under 
     the safeguard remedy,
     in order to ensure that United States workers, farmers and 
     agricultural producers, and firms can compete fully on fair 
     terms and enjoy the benefits of reciprocal trade concessions.

       (B) To eliminate the underlying causes of unfair trade 
     practices and import surges, including closed markets, 
     subsidization, government practices promoting, enabling, or 
     tolerating anticompetitive practices, and other forms of 
     government intervention that generate or sustain excess, 
     uneconomic capacity.
