                         A WIN FOR U.S. FARMERS

  (Mr. MANN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MANN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate a win for American 
farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers.
  Fertilizer prices have been skyrocketing for over a year now, with 
the cost of urea ammonium nitrate, in particular, rising to record 
highs. Since March, I have been urging the U.S. International Trade 
Commission to suspend duties on UAN imports from Trinidad and Tobago, 
and this week, they did just that.
  On July 18, the U.S. International Trade Commission rejected imposing 
final duties on urea ammonium nitrate, UAN, in its determination that 
antidumping activity surrounding UAN fertilizers in Trinidad and Tobago 
did not harm the U.S. fertilizer industry. With this determination, the 
ITC has finally responded to my three letters dating back to March, the 
legislation I introduced in that same month, and my testimony before 
them in June, all urging reconsideration of the initial duties.
  I am proud to lead the charge on this effort. I will continue to 
monitor the situation, and I look forward to seeing the immediate 
removal of duties on UAN imports from Trinidad and Tobago, which is the 
most immediate opportunity for a near-term, partial remedy to the high 
cost of fertilizer facing U.S. farmers.
