Congressional Bill

Targets Countries

With Trade Surpluses

A new bill that would toughen

America's stance against countries with substantial surpluses in their trade balance with the U.S., or who engage in unfair trade practices, has been filed by the Congressional majority leadership.

The bill would resume the ex- pired Super 301 statute that from 1988-90 had proven a successful weapon for negotiating away restric- tive trade polices targeted at the

U.S.

Within 45 days of being enacted, the bill would direct the U.S. Trade

Representative (USTR) to investi- gate all acts, policies and practices of countries that affects U.S. access to their markets.

Based on private sector request, the USTR would also be required to review foreign compliance with bi- lateral trade agreements annually, with the exceptions of the U.S.-Is- raeli and U.S.-Canadian Free Trade

Agreements. Super 301 investiga- tions would be conducted within 90 days of finding a country in viola- tion of a U.S. trade agreement. "This bill will put additional tools in the President's hands to open up foreign markets and fight unfair trade practices. It updates our trade laws to meet today's challenges and will force the President to re-exam- ine the status quo polices and recog- nize the reality of trade as it exists today," said Richard Gephardt, the House Majority Leader.

New Spill Response

Mobile Command Center

From MSRC & EDS

A self-sufficient mobile telecom- munications command center has been designed specifically for the oil spill response industry by Marine

Spill Response Corporation (MSRC) and EDS. The Mobile Commun- ication's Suite will give MSRC the ability to simultaneously link the company's command facilities, per- sonnel, vehicles, response vessels and aircraft through voice, data, video imagery and facsimile.

Marking the culmination of a two- year, collaborative research and de- velopment effort, the presidents of

MSRC, John D. Costello, and of

EDS's Energy and Chemicals busi- ness unit, Ken Scott, presented the mobile suite prototype in a ceremony at EDS headquarters in Dallas.

The communications facility, the first to be unlimited by wire, is housed in an industry standard, 20- foot by 8-foot by 8-foot shipping con- tainer, modified to accommodate air conditioning units and all of MSRC's equipment. The suite, made self- sufficient by an attached generator, is then positioned on a flat bed truck or shipped on a military cargo air- craft for rapid deployment.

For more information, contact

Greg Rixon, director of MSRC's public affairs, at (202) 408-5793, or

Roger Still, regional public affairs director for EDS at (214) 661-6080.
