97th Congress · 1981-11-12

S. 1112: TO AMEND THE PERCY AMENDMENT TO S. 1112 WITH AN AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE. THE ORIGINAL PERCY AMENDMENT REQUIRES AN AFFIRMATIVE VOTE BY JOINT RESOLUTION OF CONGRESS IN ANY FUTURE INSTANCE OF SELECTIVE EMBARGO OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS, CLARIFYING NATIONAL SECURITY CONTROL TO EXCLUDE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS; AND IF THE PRESIDENT SELECTIVELY (CONTINUED) EMBARGOES AGRICULTURAL TRADE PRODUCTS, THE PRESIDENT WOULD NEED JOINT RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL AND CONGRESS WOULD HAVE SIXTY DAYS TO APPROVE. THE PERCY SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT RETAINS THIS LANGUAGE, BUT REQUIRES THE EMBARGO PROVISION TO GO INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1, 1985 INSTEAD OF UPON THE ENACTMENT OF THE BILL. (MOTION PASSED) SEE NOTE(S) 16
