On the recordJune 18, 1998
Let me again suggest that with those two changes, the change of the 750,000 tons, which the Senator has already made in his amendment, and that of changing the 1999 agreement to reflect the amount exported in 1996, if the Senator would make that amendment, I am willing then to accept the amendment with the proviso and understanding and the gentlemen's agreement being that any other difficulties we will see if we can work out. And then we would rely on the committee chairman and the ranking member to help us and aid us in any further legislative language that might be needed.
