“Madam Speaker, the WTO negotiations in Qatar later this week are going to be enormously important. They are going to create an opportunity to move the world trading system in a direction which will allow us to provide not only freer trade but also fairer trade. We see an opportunity for a new agenda to emerge for the WTO out of this discussion, a new round which we think will yield positive results for America as well as the balance of our trading partners. But as we move forward and see that agenda take shape, it is very important that the United States Congress weigh-in particularly on one issue which should not be included on that agenda and has been long negotiated and long established. Here I am referring to the antidumping code. As we engage in a new round of global trade talks, we do not want to see a reopening of the antidumping and countervailing duty laws which have already been negotiated to a conclusion through the WTO. The history, Madam Speaker, is quite clear on this point.”
