(165)sec. 731. sense of the senate regarding japanese trade barriers to 
united states grown apples.
    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) The United States apple industry has worked for 22 
        years to export apples to Japan, answering every technical 
        question, and fulfilling every test and trapping program 
        required by the Japanese Government.
            (2) During negotiations with United States growers, the 
        Japanese Government has repeatedly added new technical 
        requirements or delayed discussions to resolve technical 
        disputes.
            (3) United States apple growers currently export to 24 
        countries, none of which have phytosanitary standards as 
        stringent as Japan's standards.
            (4) The administration has provided exemplary support on 
        this issue, expressing its dissatisfaction with the Japanese 
        phytosanitary requirements at every possible occasion.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States Senate that the 
current Japanese phytosanitary requirements on United States apples 
constitute an unnecessary trade barrier and the United States Senate 
urges the administration to continue to work toward removing the 
barrier, including initiation of an investigation under section 301 of 
the Trade Act of 1974.
    (166)Sec. 732. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made 
available by this Act shall be used to support the price of wool or
