SEC. 1306. TRADE AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS WITH JAPAN. (a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) the United States is at a critical juncture in bilateral relations with Japan; (2) the balance of trade between the United States and Japan has deteriorated steadily from an already large United States deficit of $10,400,000,000 in 1980 to an unprecedented United States deficit of $57,700,000,000 in 1987, a magnitude that is simply untenable; (3) approximately 90 percent of the increase in total trade between the United States and Japan since 1980 has been in Japanese exports to the United States; (4) United States exports to Japan have not significantly benefited from appreciation of the yen; (5) the United States deficit in the balance of trade in manufactured goods is growing: in 1987 Japan exported $82,500,000,000 of manufactured goods to the United States, while the United States exported $14,600,000,000 in manufactured goods; (6) Japan accounts for 49 percent of the worldwide deficit of the United States in the balance of trade in manufactured goods, calculated on a customs basis; (7) our trade and economic relations with Japan are complex and cannot be effectively resolved through narrow sector-by-sector negotiations; (8) a major problem between the United States and Japan is the absence of a political will in Japan to import; and (9) meaningful negotiations must take place at the highest level, at a special summit of political leaders from both countries. (b) Sense of the Congress.— (1) It is the sense of the Congress that the President should propose to the Japanese Prime Minister that a special summit be held between the leaders of the United States and Japan for the purpose of— (A) addressing trade and economic issues, and (B) establishing— (i) an agreement that provides objectives for improvement in trade and economic relations, and (ii) targets for achieving these objectives.

(a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) United States manufacturers of supercomputers have encountered significant obstacles in selling supercomputers in Japan, particularly to government agencies and universities; (2) Japanese government procurement policies and pricing practices have denied United States manufacturers access to the Japanese supercomputer market; (3) it has been reported that officials of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry of Japan have told United States Government officials that Japanese government agencies and universities do not intend to purchase supercomputers from United States manufacturers, or take steps to improve access for United States manufacturers; (4) the United States Government in August 1987 signed an agreement with the Government of Japan establishing procedures for the procurement of United States supercomputers by the Government of Japan; (5) concern remains as to implementation of the procurement agreement by the Government of Japan; (6) there have been allegations that Japanese manufacturers of supercomputers have been offering supercomputers at drastically discounted prices in the markets of the United States, Japan, and other countries; (7) deep price discounting raises the concern that Japan’s large-scale vertically integrated manufacturers of supercomputers have targeted the supercomputer industry with the objective of eventual domination of the global computer market; and (8) the supercomputer industry plays a central role in the technological competitiveness and national security of the United States. (b) Sense of Congress.— It is the sense of the Congress that the United States Trade Representative and other appropriate officials of the United States Government should— (1) give the highest priority to concluding and enforcing agreements with the Government of Japan which achieve improved market access for United States manufacturers of supercomputers and end any predatory pricing activities of Japanese companies in the United States, Japan, and other countries; and (2) continue to monitor the efforts of United States manufacturers of supercomputers to gain access to the Japanese market, recognizing that the Government of Japan may continue to manipulate the government procurement process to maintain the market dominance of Japanese manufacturers.

PART 4— TELECOMMUNICATIONS TRADE SEC. 1371. SHORT TITLE. This part may be cited as the “Telecommunications Trade Act of 1988”. SEC. 1372. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) rapid growth in the world market for telecommunications products and services is likely to continue for several decades; (2) the United States can improve prospects for— (A) the growth of— (i) United States exports of telecommunications products and services, and (ii) export-related employment and consumer services in the United States, and (B) the continuance of the technological leadership of the United States, by undertaking a program to achieve an open world market for trade in telecommunications products, services, and investment; (3) most foreign markets for telecommunications products, services, and investment are characterized by extensive government intervention (including restrictive import practices and discriminatory procurement practices) which adversely affect United States exports of telecommunications products and services and United States investment in telecommunications; (4) the open nature of the United States telecommunications market, accruing from the liberalization and restructuring of such market, has contributed, and will continue to contribute, to an increase in imports of telecommunications products and a growing imbalance in competitive opportunities for trade in telecommunications; (5) unless this imbalance is corrected through the achievement of mutually advantageous market opportunities for trade in telecommunications products and services between the United States and foreign countries, the United States should avoid granting continued open access to the telecommunications products and services of such foreign countries in the United States market; and (6) the unique business conditions in the worldwide market for telecommunications products and services caused by the combination of deregulation and divestiture in the United States, which represents a unilateral liberalization of United States trade with the rest of the world, and continuing government intervention in the domestic industries of many other countries create a need to make an exception in the case of telecommunications products and services that should not necessarily be a precedent for legislating specific sectoral priorities in combating the closed markets or unfair foreign trade practices of other countries. (b) Purposes.— The purposes of this part are— (1) to foster the economic and technological growth of, and employment in, the United States telecommunications industry; (2) to secure a high quality telecommunications network for the benefit of the people of the United States; (3) to develop an international consensus in favor of open trade and competition in telecommunications products and services; (4) to ensure that countries which have made commitments to open telecommunications trade fully abide by those commitments; and (5) to achieve a more open world trading system for telecommunications products and services through negotiation and provision of mutually advantageous market opportunities for United States telecommunications exporters and their subsidiaries in those markets in which barriers exist to free international trade.

(a) In General.— Chapter 1 of title II of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2251–2253) is amended to read as follows: “CHAPTER 1— POSITIVE ADJUSTMENT BY INDUSTRIES INJURED BY IMPORTS “SEC. 201. ACTION TO FACILITATE POSITIVE ADJUSTMENT TO IMPORT COMPETITION. “(a) Presidential Action.— If the United States International Trade Commission (hereinafter referred to in this chapter as the ‘Commission’) determines under section 202(b) that an article is being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing an article like or directly competitive with the imported article, the President, in accordance with this chapter, shall take all appropriate and feasible action within his power which the President determines will facilitate efforts by the domestic industry to make a positive adjustment to import competition and provide greater economic and social benefits than costs. “(b) Positive Adjustment to Import Competition.— “(1) For purposes of this chapter, a positive adjustment to import competition occurs when— “(A) the domestic industry— “(i) is able to compete successfully with imports after actions taken under section 204 terminate, or “(ii) the domestic industry experiences an orderly transfer of resources to other productive pursuits; and “(B) dislocated workers in the industry experience an orderly transition to productive pursuits. “(2) The domestic industry may be considered to have made a positive adjustment to import competition even though the industry is not of the same size and composition as the industry at the time the investigation was initiated under section 202(b). “SEC. 202. INVESTIGATIONS. DETERMINATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS BY COMMISSION. “(a) Petitions and Adjustment Plans.— “(1) A petition requesting action under this chapter for the purpose of facilitating positive adjustment to import competition may be filed with the Commission by an entity, including a trade association, firm, certified or recognized union, or group of workers, which is representative of an industry. “(2) A petition under paragraph (1)— “(A) shall include a statement describing the specific purposes for which action is being sought, which may include facilitating the orderly transfer of resources to more productive pursuits, enhancing competitiveness, or other means of aqjustment to new conditions of competition; and “(B) may— “(i) subject to subsection (d)(1)(C)(i), request provisional relief under subsection (d)(1); or “(ii) request, or at any time before the 150th day after the date of filing be amended to request, provisional relief under subsection (d)(2). “(3) Whenever a petition is filed under paragraph (1), the Commission shall promptly transmit copies of the petition to the Office of the United States Trade Representative and other Federal agencies directly concerned. “(4) A petitioner under paragraph (1) may submit to the Commission and the United States Trade Representative (here-after in this chapter referred to as the ‘Trade Representative’), either with the petition, or at any time within 120 days after the date of filing of the petition, a plan to facilitate positive adjustment to import competition. “(5) (A) Before submitting an adjustment plan under paragraph (4), the petitioner and other entities referred to in paragraph (1) that wish to participate may consult with the Trade Representative and the officers and employees of any Federal agency that is considered appropriate by the Trade Representative, for purposes of evaluating the adequacy of the proposals being considered for inclusion in the plan in relation to specific actions that may be taken under this chapter. “(B) A request for any consultation under subparagraph (A) must be made to the Trade Representative. Upon receiving such a request, the Trade Representative shall confer with the petitioner and provide such assistance, including publication of appropriate notice in the Federal Register, as may be practicable in obtaining other participants in the consultation. No consultation may occur under subparagraph (A) unless the Trade Representative, or his delegate, is in attendance. “(6) (A) In the course of any investigation under subsection (b), the Commission shall seek information (on a confidential basis, to the extent appropriate) on actions being taken, or planned-to be taken, or both, by firms and workers in the industry to make a positive adjustment to import competition. “(B) Regardless whether an adjustment plan is submitted under paragraph (4) by the petitioner, if the Commission makes an affirmative determination under subsection (b), any— “(i) firm in the domestic industry; “(ii) certified or recognized union or group of workers in the domestic industry; “(iii) State or local community; “(iv) trade association representing the domestic industry; or “(v) any other person or group of persons, may, individually, submit to the Commission commitments regarding actions such persons and entities intend to take to facilitate positive adjustment to import competition. “(7) Nothing in paragraphs (5) and (6) may be construed to provide immunity under the antitrust laws. “(b) Investigations and Determinations by Commission.— “(1) (A) Upon the filing of a petition under subsection (b), the request of the President or the Trade Representative, the resolution of either the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives or the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or on its own motion, the Commission shall promptly make an investigation to determine whether an article is being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing an article like or directly competitive with the imported article. “(B) For purposes of this section, the term ‘substantial cause’ means a cause which is important and not less than any other cause. “(2) (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), the Commission shall make the determination under paragraph (1) within 120 days after the date on which the petition is filed, the request or resolution is received, or the motion is adopted, as the case may be. “(B) If before the 100th day after a petition is filed under subsection (a)(1) the Commission determines that the investigation is extraordinarily complicated, the Commission shall make the determination under paragraph (1) within 150 days after the date referred to in subparagraph (A). “(3) (A) If the Commission makes an affirmative determination under paragraph (1) and the petitioner alleges the existence of critical circumstances, the Commission shall make a determination regarding such allegation— “(i) on or before the 120th day after the day on which the petition was filed, if such allegation was included in the petition on or before the 90th day after such filing date; or “(ii) on or before the date the report required under subsection (f) regarding the determination is submitted to the President, if such allegation was included in the petition after the 90th day, and on or before the 150th day, sifter such filing date. “(B) For purposes of this paragraph and subsection (d)(2), critical circumstances exist if a substantial increase in imports (either actual or relative to domestic production) over a relatively short period of time has led to circumstances in which a delay in taking action under this chapter would cause harm that would significantly impair the effectiveness of such action. “(4) In the course of any proceeding under this subsection, the Commission shall, after reasonable notice, hold public hearings and shall afford interested parties and consumers an opportunity to be present, to present evidence, to comment on the adjustment plan, if any, submitted under subsection (a), and to be heard at such hearings. “(c) Factors Applied in Making Determinations.— “(1) In making determinations under subsection (b), the Commission shall take into account all economic factors which it considers relevant, including (but not limited to)— “(A) with respect to serious injury— “(i) the significant idling of productive facilities in the domestic industry, “(ii) the inability of a significant number of firms to carry out domestic production operations at a reason-able level of profit, and “(iii) significant unemployment or underemployment Employment and unemployment. within the domestic industry; “(B) with respect to threat of serious iiyury— “(i) a decline in sales or market share, a higher and growing inventory (whether maintained by domestic producers, importers, wholesalers, or retailers), and a downward trend in production, profits, wages, or employment (or increasing underemployment) in the domestic industry, “(ii) the extent to which firms in the domestic industry are unable to generate adequate capital to finance the modernization of their domestic plants and equipment, or are unable to maintain existing levels of expenditures for research and development, “(iii) the extent to which the United States market is the focal point for the diversion of exports of the article concerned by reason of restraints on exports of such article to, or on imports of such article into, third country markets;

SEC. 1906. SENSE OF CONGRESS REQUESTING THE PRESIDENT TO INSTRUCT THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY TO ENFORCE SECTION 307 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930 WITHOUT DELAY. (a) Congressional Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) its February 1983 report to the Congress on forced labor in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Department of State confirmed that Soviet forced labor is used “to produce large amounts of primary and manufactured goods for both domestic and Western export markets”, and that such labor is used as an integral part of Soviet national economy; (2) the Central Intelligence Agency has compiled a list of over three dozen products made by Soviet forced labor and imported by the United States, and that items on the September 27, 1983 list include chemicals, gold, uranium, aluminum, wood products and glassware; (3) the International Commission on Human Rights has concluded that the Soviet Union “continues the deplorable practice of forced labor in manufacturing and construction projects” and that prisoners “are forced to work under conditions of extreme hardship including malnutrition, inadequate shelter and clothing, and severe discipline”; (4) the Congress is on record as opposing forced labor, having enacted a prohibition (in section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307)) on the importation of goods made with such labor and having passed in the Ninety-eighth Congress by unanimous vote a resolution calling such practices morally reprehensible and calling upon the President to express to the Soviet Union the opposition of the United States to such policies; (5) the prohibition enacted by the Congress declares that “goods, wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced or manufactured wholly or in part in any foreign country by convict labor or/and forced labor or/and indentured labor under penal sanctions shall not be entitled to entry at any of the ports of the United States, and the importation thereof is hereby prohibited”; (6) there is ample knowledge of the Soviet forced labor system to require enforcement of the prohibition contained in section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307); and (7) the delay in enforcing the law brings into question the commitment of the United States to protest the inhumane treatment of prisoners in the Soviet Gulag, an estimated ten thousand of whom are political and religious prisoners according to the Department of State. (b) Sense of Congress.— It is the sense of the Congress that the President should express to the Soviet Union in the firmest possible terms the strong moral opposition of the United States to the slave labor policies of the Soviet Union by every means possible, including refusing to permit the importation into the United States of any products made in whole or in part by such labor. (c) Presidential Action.— The President is hereby requested to instruct the Secretary of the Treasury to enforce section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307) without delay. SEC. 1907.
