The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m. in room 3302, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Abraham Ribicoff (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Senators Ribicoff, Long, Nelson, Moynihan, Baucus, Dole, Roth, Chafee, and Heinz. [The press release announcing these hearings and the bill S. 1376 follow:] [Press release No. H-38] FINANCE SUBCOMMITTEE ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE TO HOLD HEARINGS ON THE TRADE AGREEMENTS ACT OF 1979 (S. 1376) The Honorable Abraham Ribicoff (D., Ct.) Chairman of the Subcommittee on International Trade of the Committee on Finance, today announced that the Subcommittee will hold a hearing on the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (S. 1376), a bill to implement for the United States the results of the Tokyo Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations. The Administration will be represented at these hearings by the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations, Ambassador Robert S. Strauss. Senator Ribicoff noted that the Congressional procedures for consideration of legislation implementing trade negotiations prohibit any amendments to the legislation submitted by the President to the Congress. The purpose, therefore, of this hearing is to provide members of the public an opportunity to express their views as to whether the implementing legislation, taken as a whole, is in the best interests of the United States and should be approved by the Congress. The hearing will begin at 10 a.m., Tuesday, July 10, 1979, in room 3302 Dirksen Senate Office Building. Requests to testify.-Chairman Ribicoff stated that witnesses desiring to testify during this hearing must make their requests to testify to Michael Stern, Staff Director, Committee on Finance, Room 2227, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20510, not later than the close of business on Thursday, July 5, 1979. Witnesses who are scheduled to testify will be notified as soon as possible after this date as to when they will appear. If for some reason the witness is unable to appear at the time scheduled, he may file a written statement for the record in lieu of the personal appearance. Chairman Ribicoff also stated that, in light of the large number of people who will be interested in testifying and the limited time available for the hearings, the Subcommittee strongly urges all witnesses who have a common position or the same general interest to consolidate their testimony and to designate a single spokesman to present their common viewpoint to the Subcommittee. This procedure will enable the Subcommittee to receive a wider expression of views than it might otherwise obtain. Legislative Reorganization Act.-Chairman Ribicoff stated that the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 requires all witnesses appearing before the Committees of Congress to "file in advance written statements of their proposed testimony and to limit their oral presentation to brief summaries of their argument." Senator Ribicoff stated that, in light of this statute, the number of witnesses who desire to appear before the Subcommittee, and the limited time available for the hearings, all witnesses who are scheduled to testify must comply with the following rules: (1) nattarsize cacer not egal size and at Dirksen Senator Office Buiding, vriten statements to the Subcommittee. but ummary The joints ncluded in the 20 more han ive minutes for their oral Vrnesses vre 1. こ SEDAY Vith these mes vorreit their privilege to testify Vetter statements. —Parsons et created C nake in rai presentation. and thers vno tesire J resent zer Tews C he Subcommittee. are urged to prepare ACTUSION n he printed record of the written statemen a tearing.
