amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 2146, to
amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow Federal law
enforcement officers, firefighters, and air traffic controllers to make
penalty-free withdrawals from governmental plans after age 50, and for
other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
Beginning on page 25, strike line 18, and all that follows
through page 26, line 16, and insert the following:
(11) Currency manipulation.--The principal negotiating
objective of the United States with respect to unfair
currency exchange practices is to target protracted large-
scale intervention in one direction in the exchange markets
by a party to a trade agreement to gain an unfair competitive
advantage in trade over other parties to the agreement, by
establishing strong and enforceable rules against exchange
rate manipulation that are subject to the same dispute
settlement procedures and remedies as other enforceable
obligations under the agreement and are consistent with
existing principles and agreements of the International
Monetary Fund and the World Trade Organization. Nothing in
the previous sentence shall be construed to restrict the
exercise of domestic monetary policy.
