                NOTICE OF INTENT TO OBJECT TO PROCEEDING

  I, Senator Chuck Grassley, intend to object to proceeding to S. Res. 
625, a resolution entitled Encouraging the Government and the people of 
the United States to ``Buy American'' and for other purposes, dated 
June 17, 2020 for the reasons as stated in the Record.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I have notified the Senate majority 
leader of my intent to object to proceeding to S. Res. 625, a 
resolution encouraging the Government and the people of the United 
States to ``Buy American.'' The resolution, though well-intentioned, 
would have implications on trade and manufacturing policy that require 
further study. It could further invite our trading partners to take 
similar actions that would negatively impact U.S. farmers, businesses, 
consumers, and workers.
