 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Senate that, during the forthcoming meeting of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the Government should try to restore U.S. competitiveness in agricultural trade: (1) with particular emphasis on correcting the disparate treatment of primary and nonprimary products provided in the Subsidies Code; and (2) without reference to any existing disagreements in nonagricultural areas.

Declares that the United States, pending restoration of fair and equitable trading conditions under the GATT, should try to prevent further erosion of farm exports and try to regain a foreign market share commensurate with the competitive market advantage of the U.S. farmer.

Expresses the sense of the Senate that the United States should make available the funds necessary to assist exports and counteract foreign unfair trading practices.

Declares that restoring U.S. farm export competitiveness will help create jobs and raise net farm income.
