The subcommittee met at 10:20 a.m., pursuant to notice, in the committee hearing room, Longworth House Office Building, Hon. Charles A. Vanik (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Mr. VANIK. The subcommittee will be in order. Today, the Subcommittee on Trade begins 3 days of public hearings on 36 legislative proposals on miscellaneous tariff and trade matters. There are over 50 public witnessess scheduled in addition to representatives of the executive branch agencies. As has been indicated in our press release, witnesses will be expected to summarize their statements with the assurance that their full statements will be printed in the hearing record. The 3-minute limit for summarizing statements, of course, will not include questioning by members of the subcommittee or responses by witnesses, however, we must proceed expeditiously, and I urge witnesses and members to cooperate in this regard. The Committee on Ways and Means has made written requests to interested Government agencies for reports on all of the bills being considered in this hearing. For the record, I would like to remind representatives of the agencies that not only does the Legislative Reorganization Act require executive branch agencies to respond to requests for comments on legislative proposals, but traditionally the Committee on Ways and Means has taken into account such views, information, and advice in the interest of reporting sound and meaningful legislation. This opportunity for agencies to have their veiws considered by the subcommittee and the full Committee on Ways and Means is somewhat unique in congressional committee operations. Speaking as chairman of the subcommittee, I want to express my thanks to all of you from agencies for your cooperation, and my disappointment that more written reports were not received in time for consideration in preparing for this hearing. I would also like to express my thanks to the Office of Management and Budget for its cooneration in expediting the clearance of written reports or positions on these bills. We will first hear from administration witnesses and the U.S. International Trade Commission. We will proceed numerically through |
