106TH CONGRESS
1ST SESSION
H. R. 1789
To restore the inherent benefits of the market economy by repealing the
Federal body of statutory law commonly referred to as ‘‘antitrust law’’,
and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MAY 13, 1999
Mr. PAUL introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary
A BILL
To restore the inherent benefits of the market economy by
repealing the Federal body of statutory law commonly
referred to as ‘‘antitrust law’’, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Market Process Res-
toration Act of 1999’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) Antitrust statutes governmentally facilitate
interference in the voluntary market transactions of
individuals.
(2) Evaluation of the antitrust laws has not
proceeded from an analysis of their nature or of
their necessary consequences, but from an impres-
sionistic reaction to their announced gain.
(3) It is the dynamic model of competition
under which only ‘‘free’’ entry is required that in-
sures maximization of consumer welfare within the
nature-given condition of scarcity and reconciles the
ideal of pure liberty with that of economic efficiency.
(4) The free market in the world of production
may be termed ‘‘free competition’’ or ‘‘free entry’’,
meaning that in a free society anyone is free to com-
pete and produce in any field he chooses. ‘‘Free
competition’’ is the application of liberty to the
sphere of production: the freedom to buy, sell, and
transform one’s property without violent interference
by an external power.
(5) The Sherman Act was a tool used to regu-
late some of the most competitive industries in
America, which were rapidly expanding their output
and reducing their prices, much to the dismay of
their less efficient (but politically influential) com-
any single requester can make, and the maximum
number of stationary sources for which off-site con-
sequence analysis information may be made available
in response to any single request, shall be deter-
mined by the Administrator in implementing guid-
ance, pursuant to subsection (d)(1) of this section.
An officer or employee of the United States may not
otherwise distribute off-site consequence analysis in-
formation in paper form, except as provided in para-
graphs (4) and (6) of this subsection, and subsection
(e) of this section.
(B) Consistent with this paragraph, the Admin-
istrator shall promptly respond to off-site con-
sequence analysis information requests. The Admin-
istrator may levy a fee applicable to processing re-
quests that recovers the Administrator’s cost of
processing such requests and reproducing such infor-
mation in paper form.
(4) At the request of a State or local govern-
ment officer acting in his or her official capacity, the
Administrator may provide to such officer in paper
form, only for official use, the off-site consequence
analysis information submitted for the stationary
sources located in the State in which the State or
local government officer serves.
petitors. The Sherman Act, moreover, was used as
a political fig leaf to shield the real cause of monop-
oly in the late 1880’s—protectionism. The chief
sponsor of the 1890 tariff bill, passed just three
months after the Sherman Act, was none other than
Senator Sherman himself.
(6) One function of the Sherman Act was to di-
vert public attention from the certain source of mo-
nopoly—Government’s grant of exclusive privilege.
(7) Obscure, incoherent, and vague legislation
such as antitrust statutes can make legality unat-
tainable by anyone, or at least unattainable without
an unauthorized revision which itself impairs legal-
ity.
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this Act is to restore
the inherent benefits of the market economy by repealing
the Federal body of statutory law commonly referred to
as ‘‘antitrust law’’, and for other purposes.
SEC. 3. REPEAL OF ANTITRUST ACTS.
