“Let me say my colleague from New Hampshire, while interesting and articulate, stops a couple of pages short of good research. First, my colleague talks at length about the WTO. I am not sure which direction we would be required to bow to the WTO. Is it the east or the west? The WTO, of course, does not run or manage American public policy and trade. But I do want to say this with respect to the Byrd law. My colleague said ``just a few companies'' benefit from it. The fact is, well over 700 companies benefit from it. So, when one talks about misrepresentation, I will ascribe that, I guess, to a mistake.”
