To amend the Tariff Act of 1930 to eliminate disincentives

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Continued Dumping
or Subsidy Offset Act of 1999’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS OF CONGRESS.
Congress makes the following findings:
HR 842 IH
(1) Consistent with the rights of the United
States under the World Trade Organization, injuri-
ous dumping is to be condemned and actionable sub-
sidies which cause injury to domestic industries
must be effectively neutralized.
(2) United States unfair trade laws have as
their purpose the restoration of conditions of fair
trade so that jobs and investment that should be in
the United States are not lost through false market
signals.
(3) The continued dumping or subsidization of
imported product after the issuance of antidumping
orders or findings or countervailing duty orders can
frustrate the remedial purpose of the laws by pre-
venting market prices from returning to fair levels.
(4) Where dumping or subsidization continues,
domestic producers will be reluctant to reinvest or
rehire and may be unable to maintain pension and
health care benefits that conditions of fair trade
would permit. Similarly, small businesses and Ameri-
ca’s farmers and ranchers may be unable to pay
down accumulated debt, to obtain working capital or
otherwise remain viable.
