On the recordMarch 23, 1998
I rise today to introduce temporary duty suspension legislation for the active ingredient used in producing Sustiva, a breakthrough drug for treating people with HIV and AIDS. I am pleased to introduce this bill on the active ingredients in a drug that could simplify treatment for HIV patients and could possibly reduce the level of this virus in the bloodstream. By temporarily suspending the imposition of duties, this bill will help DuPont Merck, a company located in Wilmington, Delaware, lower its cost of production and improve its competitiveness.
