Mr. BOEHLERT (for himself, Mr. OBERSTAR, Mr. DUNCAN, Mr. BORSKI, and
Mr. DEFAZIO) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress regarding the 30th
anniversary of the enactment of the Clean Water Act.
Whereas clean water is a natural resource of tremendous
value and importance to the Nation;
Whereas there is resounding public support for protecting
and enhancing the quality of the Nation’s rivers, streams,
lakes, wetlands, and marine waters;
Whereas maintaining and improving water quality is essential
to protect public health, fisheries, wildlife, and water-
sheds, and to ensure abundant opportunities for public
recreation and economic development;
Whereas it is a national responsibility to provide clean water
for future generations;
•HCON 255 IH
Whereas substantial progress has been made in protecting
and enhancing water quality since the enactment of the
Clean Water Act in 1972, due to concerted efforts by
Federal, State, and local governments, the private sector,
and the public;
Whereas serious water pollution problems persist throughout
the Nation and significant challenges lie ahead in the ef-
fort to protect water resources from point and nonpoint
sources of pollution;
Whereas further development and innovation of water pollu-
tion control programs and advancement of water pollu-
tion control research, technology, and education are nec-
essary and desirable; and
Whereas October 2002 is the 30th anniversary of the enact-
ment of the Clean Water Act: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That, as the Nation marks the 30th anniver-
sary, in October 2002, of the enactment of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, commonly known as the
Clean Water Act, the Congress encourages the American
people and all levels of government to recognize and cele-
brate the Nation’s accomplishments under the Act and to
recommit to achieving its goals.

H. CON. RES. 256
Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States Trade Representative
should oppose any changes that weaken existing antidumping and safe-
guard laws at the World Trade Organization (WTO) round of negotia-
tions to be held at Doha, Qatar, from November 9–13, 2001, and
at any subsequent round of negotiations.

CARDIN, Mr. NEY, Mrs. JONES of Ohio, Mr. EHRLICH, Mr. ADERHOLT,
Mr. MURTHA, Mr. HOUGHTON, and Mr. STUPAK) submitted the following
concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States
Trade Representative should oppose any changes that
weaken existing antidumping and safeguard laws at the
World Trade Organization (WTO) round of negotiations
to be held at Doha, Qatar, from November 9–13, 2001,
and at any subsequent round of negotiations.
Whereas members of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
have expressed an interest in renegotiating antidumping
and safeguard provisions contained in the Agreement on
Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement
on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (commonly referred to as the
•HCON 256 IH
‘‘Antidumping Agreement’’) at the Fourth Ministerial
Conference of the WTO to be held at Doha, Qatar, from
November 9–13, 2001;
Whereas the recent pattern of decisions by WTO dispute set-
tlement panels and the WTO Appellate Body to impose
new obligations and restrictions on the use of anti-
dumping and safeguard measures by WTO members
under the Antidumping Agreement—obligations and re-
strictions that are not found anywhere in the negotiated
text of the Antidumping Agreement or other relevant
WTO agreements—has raised concerns; and
Whereas the WTO panels and the WTO Appellate Body
issuing these decisions have consistently avoided or mis-
applied the special standard of review contained in Arti-
cle 17.6 of the Antidumping Agreement, which is de-
signed to ensure deference to reasonable factual deter-
minations and legal interpretations rendered by national
investigating authorities in antidumping proceedings:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that—
(1) renegotiation by members of the World
Trade Organization (WTO) of existing antidumping
and safeguard provisions contained in the Agree-
ment on Implementation of Article VI of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (commonly
referred to as the ‘‘Antidumping Agreement’’) is un-
desirable, unnecessary, and unlikely to result in an

Whereas our Nation’s postal and delivery sector accounts for
approximately 8 percent of our gross national product;
Whereas, since September 11, 2001, the United States Postal
Service has delivered more than 20,000,000,000 pieces of
mail;
Whereas 2 employees of the United States Postal Service
have died as a result of anthrax infection;
Whereas a number of employees of the United States Postal
Service are being treated for anthrax-like symptoms;
Whereas the more than 800,000 men and women who work
for the United States Postal Service have done an out-
standing job of collecting, processing, sorting, and deliv-
ering the mail during this time of national emergency;
and
Whereas the delivery of anthrax through the mail is an at-
tempt to disrupt our ability to communicate through the
mail, and threatens the viability of the postal system:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That—
(1) it is the sense of the Congress that the men
and women of the United States Postal Service have
done an outstanding job of collecting, processing,
sorting, and delivering the mail during this time of
national emergency; and
(2) Congress will work with the United States
Postal Service to assure the safety and well-being of

agreement that does not weaken the antidumping
and safeguard provisions; and
(2) the United States Trade Representative
should oppose any changes to existing antidumping
and safeguard provisions contained in the Anti-
dumping Agreement at the Fourth Ministerial Con-
ference of the WTO to be held at Doha, Qatar, from
November 9–13, 2001, and at any subsequent round
of negotiations, including any changes that make
antidumping relief under these provisions more dif-
ficult, uncertain, or costly for domestic industries to
achieve and maintain over time.

Whereas the percentage of food imports that are examined
