Summary

Expresses the sense of the Senate that the United States should seek through the upcoming ministerial level meeting of the parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade to: (1) review the adequacy of the agreements concluded in the Tokyo round of negotiations with particular emphasis on the disparate treatment of primary and nonprimary products provided in the subsidies code and on the dispute settlement provisions; (2) begin negotiating international arrangements to reduce or eliminate restrictions on investment, trade in services, and trade in high technology products; and (3) complete negotiations on a comprehensive agreement on safeguards. Declares that the United States should facilitate the process of achieving domestic and international concensus on the nature of the world trading system by establishing domestic and international expert commissions charged with analyzing and making recommendations on trade issues.
