On the recordMay 13, 2015
in the committee on the AGOA Act, we put in an amendment to ensure an in-cycle and out-of-cycle review of South African trade practices vis-a-vis poultry and other issues important to the United States. We would have offered an amendment on the floor had it been possible without this UC, but with this UC coming forward and not objecting, we have gotten permission to talk to Ambassador Froman, who has assured us he is willing to instigate an out-of-cycle review immediately or whenever necessary to review the trade practices of South Africa vis-a-vis poultry. I commend him on doing that and wanted to memorialize that in the Record. I yield to Senator Coons for the purpose of confirmation.
