U.S. Trade: Proposals to Reorganize the Trade Policy Structure
Description
Several bills have been introduced in the 104th Congress to reorganize the trade policymaking structure of the executive branch. More bills are likely to be introduced. These proposals are a direct result of efforts within the Congress to dismantle the Department of Commerce. Concurrent Budget Resolution for FY1996 (Con.Res. 67), which was passed on June 29, 1995, expresses the sense of the Congress that the Commerce Department should be eliminated. Whatever the fate of the Commerce Department, a consensus appears to be emerging within the Congress that Commerce's trade functions should be preserved in some form.
