WM. TYLER PAGE,

Clerk.

The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Walker, the committee is in executive session and has before it House bill 2435. Will you please proceed and state in your own way, briefly as may be, the principal provisions of the bill, making such explanations and suggestions as you deem helpful? STATEMENT OF MR. JOHN E. WALKER, CHIEF, LEGISLATIVE DRAFTING SERVICE, UNITED STATES SENATE.

Mr. WALKER. The bill defines dumping to be the sale of identical or comparable imported merchandise by a foreign producer or exporter for exportation to the United States at less than (1) the foreign selling price for home consumption; or (2) if there is no such price, at less than the foreign selling price for export to countries other than the United States; or (3) if there is neither of the aforementioned foreign selling prices, then at less than the cost of production of the imported merchandise.

In order to constitute dumping the imported merchandise must be of a kind or class identical or comparable in material, quality, or use with (1) a kind or class made or produced wholly or in part

in the United States, or (2) a kind or class sold in competition with merchandise made or produced wholly or in part in the United States. It appears that before the foreign selling price for home consumption or for exportation to foreign countries other than the United States can be used, the merchandise must be sold in the same usual wholesale quantities for such purposes as in the case of sales in the United States. It is stated that in many cases merchandise is sold in larger wholesale quantities in the principal markets of the United States than in the case of wholesale sales abroad to other countries or in the country of production and that in such cases it would be necessary to determine the cost of production because the merchandise was not sold in the United States in similar wholesale quantities. It has been suggested that a provision could be incorporated in the bill authorizing proper adjustments in the foreign market value in such cases. See section 202, subdivisions (b) and (c)

of proposed alternative draft.

Senator SIMMONS. Are there three alternative steps in determining the special dumping duty?

Mr. WALKER. There are three steps, Senator.

First. If the merchandise is sold in like wholesale quantities in the country of production for consumption in that country and in America, the difference between such selling prices is the additional duty imposed.

The second step is, if there is not such a selling price for home consumption, then the dumping duty is the difference between the selling price in the country of production for export to countries other than the United States and the price at which it is sold to the United States purchaser.

The third step is, if the article is only sold for export to the United States, then the dumping duty is the difference between the cost of production in the foreign country and the selling price for export to the United States.

Senator SMOOT. Does it apply also to the free list?

Mr. WALKER. It applies to both dutiable and free articles.
Senator SIMMONS. Is this dumping duty added?

Mr. WALKER. It is in addition to the duties imposed under existing law.

Senator MCCUMBER. Do you include in the cost of production a reasonable profit?

Mr. WALKER. That is provided for in the bill and also in the costof-production definition under existing law.

Senator SMOOT. In respect of the free list, explain how it operates on the goods coming in on that basis.

Mr. WALKER. In the case of goods on the free list, no duty is imposed under existing law, and the only duty in such cases would be the special dumping duty.

Senator SMOOT. What would that be?

Mr. WALKER. The duty is the difference between (1) the selling price for home consumption in the country of production, or (2) the selling price for export to countries other than the United States, or (3) the cost of production, as the case may be, and the selling price for export to America.

Senator MCCUMBER. If there is no difference, there is no duty? Mr. WALKER. That is correct.
