The tobacco industry would for the first time become eligible for export subsidiesat taxpayers expense. Theres even a little something in the bill for the steel fence panel industry. I was saddened that the Senate voted for suspension of Romanias mostfavorednation trading status. because I think that may lead to less emigration and more human rights abuses. Although the damage was not nearly as great as it might have been. we have tinkered further with our dumping and countervailing duty laws in ways unfair to importsfor example in the exporters sales price [ESP] offset provision. Such actions can only work to the detriment of the many U.S. exporters subject to other countries similar laws.
