| STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
(THIS STATEMENT HAS BEEN COORDINATED BY OMB
WITH THE CONCERNED AGENCIES.)
April 13, 1999
(House)
|
H.R. 769 - Madrid Protocol Implementation Act
(Coble (R) North Carolina and Berman (D) California)
| |
The Administration supports House passage of H.R. 769. The bill would
implement the Madrid Protocol concerning trademarks but would not become
effective until the United States accedes to the Protocol. The
Administration's policy is that the United States should not accede to the
Protocol until it addresses our concern about concurrent voting by regional
economic integration organizations, such as the European Community.
Pay-As-You-Go Scoring
H.R. 769 would affect receipts and direct spending; therefore it is subject
to the pay-as-you-go (PAYGO) requirements of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990. OMB's preliminary PAYGO estimate is being
developed.
