A BILL
To amend the Tariff Act of 1930 with respect to the marking
of golf clubs and golf club components.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

with regard to hire or tenure of employment or any
term or condition of employment to encourage or
discourage membership in any labor organization.
The Congress, the National Labor Relations Board,
and the courts have recognized that the discharge of
an employee to encourage or discourage union mem-
bership has a particularly chilling effect on the exer-
cise of rights provided under section 7.
(2) Although an employee who has been dis-
charged because of support or lack of support for a
labor organization has a right to be reinstated to the
previously held position with backpay, reinstatement
is often ordered months and even years after the ini-
tial discharge due to the lengthy delays in the proc-
essing of unfair labor practice charges by the Na-
tional Labor Relations Board and to the several lay-
ers of appeal under the National Labor Relations
Act.
(3) In order to minimize the chilling effect on
the exercise of rights provided under section 7
caused by an unlawful discharge and to maximize
the effectiveness of the remedies for unlawful dis-
crimination under the National Labor Relations Act,
the National Labor Relations Board should endeavor
to resolve in a timely manner all unfair labor prac-
(b) SEVERABILITY.—If any provision or amendment
made by this Act or the application of such provision or
amendment to any person or circumstance is held to be
invalid, the remainder of this Act and its amendments and
the application of such provisions or amendments to any
person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.

hibitor’’ after ‘‘dealer’’.
SEC. 6. ENFORCEMENT.
Subsection (a) of section 19 of the Animal Welfare
Act (7 U.S.C. 2149(a)) is amended to read as follows:
‘‘(a)(1) If the Secretary has reason to believe that
any person licensed under this Act has violated or is violat-
ing any provision of this Act or the regulations or stand-
ards issued thereunder, the Secretary may suspend or
refuse to renew such person’s license for a period of up
to 120 days, except as otherwise provided by this section.
‘‘(2) When the Secretary temporarily suspends or re-
fuses to renew a license under paragraph (1), the Sec-
retary shall send written notice thereof to the licensee.
Such notice shall specify—
‘‘(A) the nature, time, and place of the alleged
violation;

notice, the licensee requests a hearing, the licensee
