                       ABRAHAM AMENDMENT NO. 407

  (Ordered referred to the Committee on Finance.)
  Mr. ABRAHAM submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to 
the bill (S. 922) to prohibit the use of the ``Made in the USA'' label 
on products of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and to 
deny such products duty-free and quota-free treatment; as follows:

       At the appropriate place, insert the following new section:

     SEC. __. ADDITIONAL REVENUES DEDICATED TO TAX RELIEF OR DEBT 
                   REDUCTION.

       Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, including 
     section 252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
     Control Act of 1985--
       (1) the Office of Management and Budget shall estimate the 
     revenue increase resulting from the enactment of this Act, 
     for fiscal years 2000 through 2009; and
       (2) the amount estimated pursuant to paragraph (1) shall 
     only be available for revenue reduction (without any 
     requirement of an increase in revenues or reduction in direct 
     spending) or debt reduction.
