In the House of Representatives, U.S.,
July 22, 1997.
Whereas the Boeing Company and McDonnell Douglas have
announced their merger;
Whereas the Department of Defense has approved the merger
as consistent with the national security of the United
States;
Whereas the Federal Trade Commission has found that the
merger does not violate the antitrust laws of the United
States;
Whereas the European Commission has been highly critical
of the merger in its consideration of the facts;
Whereas the European Commission is apparently determined
to disapprove the merger to gain an unfair competitive
advantage for Airbus Industries, a government-owned air-
craft manufacturer; and
Whereas this dispute could threaten to disrupt the overall re-
lationship between the European Union and the United
States which had a two-way trade in goods and services
of approximately $366,000,000,000 in 1996: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Represent-
atives that—
•HRES 191 EH
(1) any disapproval by the European Commission of
the merger of the Boeing Company and McDonnell
Douglas would constitute an unwarranted and unprece-
dented interference in a United States business trans-
action that would directly threaten thousands of Amer-
ican aerospace jobs and potentially put many more jobs
at risk on both sides of the Atlantic; and
(2) the President should take such actions as he
considers to be appropriate to protect United States in-
terests in connection with this matter.
