tional infliction of serious bodily injury, shall be punished

1ST SESSION
H. R. 347
To deny nondiscriminatory (MFN) treatment to countries that participate
in, or cooperate with, the economic boycott of Israel.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 5, 1993
Mr. SCHUMER introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means
A BILL
To deny nondiscriminatory (MFN) treatment to countries
that participate in, or cooperate with, the economic boy-
cott of Israel.
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 ‘‘Anti-Boycott MFN
Restriction Act of 1993’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Certain countries maintain an economic
boycott that includes a secondary boycott of compa-
nies that have investments in or trade with Israel.
(2) The secondary boycott deprives United
States firms of trade opportunities and violates
internationally accepted principles of free trade.
(3) The countries that engage in the boycott
enjoy most-favored-nation status with the United
States, but have resisted requests by the United
States to end the boycott.
(4) Therefore, countries participating in the
secondary boycott of products of United States firms
that trade with Israel should be denied most-fa-
vored-nation status until they end their participation
in this boycott.
SEC. 3. DENIAL OF NONDISCRIMINATORY TREATMENT TO
COUNTRIES THAT PARTICIPATE IN, OR CO-
OPERATE WITH, THE ECONOMIC BOYCOTT OF
ISRAEL.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, non-
discriminatory treatment (most-favored nation treatment)
shall not apply to the products of any country that has
engaged in practices that have resulted in that country
being listed under section 999(a)(3) of the Internal Reve-
nue Code of 1986 as a country that requires or may re-
quire participation in, or cooperation with, the inter-
national boycott directed against Israel, until such time
as that country is removed from that list.
