Thurmond National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (Public

            spare parts for China's water purification and treatment 
            industries;

            winding machine for production of spare parts for China's 
            water purification and treatment industries;
     An isostatic press for manufacturing automotive spare 
            parts; and
     A four-axis filament winding machine to be used in 
            production of graphite or glass composite golf clubs.
