as follows:

       On page 100, between lines 20 and 21, insert the following:
       (7) For agreements that subject united states workers to 
     unfair competition on the basis of wages.--The trade 
     authorities procedures shall not apply to an implementing 
     bill submitted with respect to a trade agreement entered into 
     under section 103(b) unless the agreement--
       (A) establishes a minimum wage that each party to the 
     agreement is required to establish and maintain before the 
     trade agreement is implemented; and
       (B) stipulates that the minimum wage required for each 
     party to the agreement increase over time, to continuously 
     reduce the disparity between the lowest and highest minimum 
     wages paid by parties to the agreement.
