Dear Senator Frist and Senator Daschle:
We are writing to express our strong support for your willingness to take the necessary proceduralsteps to ensure enactment of the conference report to H.R. 1047, the Miscellaneous Trade andTechnical Corrections Act of 2004, before Congress adjourns the 108th Congress sine die.
Efforts have been underway to pass this legislation throughout the 108th Congress. On October 8,2004, a conference report was agreed upon and passed by the House of Representatives. Now theburden is firmly on the Senate to pass this critical legislation and relieve the tariff burden oncompanies and individuals. The strong support the Senate has given this legislation in the pastindicates that there is an overwhelming and bipartisan majority in favor of its passage.
We strongly support your taking the necessary procedural steps, including filing cloture, to ensurethat this legislation is enacted before the end of the 108th Congress.
Sincerely,
