on May 23, 2000, and all persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to appear in person or by counsel.
    The Commission transmitted its determinations in these reviews to 
the Secretary of Commerce on July 18, 2000. The views of the Commission 
are contained in USITC Publication 3321 (July 2000), entitled Stainless 
Steel Wire Rod from Brazil, France, India, and Spain: Investigations
