Richard Lugar
Mr. President, I wish to take a moment to discuss a security problem that exists in the Andean Trade Preference Act extension contained in H.R. 3009, as amended and passed by the Senate, and which must be addressed. The problem is that, in an understandable effort to support Andean economies by providing tuna export preferences, this bill unfairly harms the economies of Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Providing trade preferences to one ally, or regional bloc, at the expense of others is patently unfair.

Richard Lugar
The problem this bill creates for the Philippines, and for American interests in the Philippines, is particularly troublesome. The entire tuna industry in the Philippines is located in the southern region of Mindanao. It is in Mindanao that Muslim terrorist cells, with reported ties to al-Quaeda, are operating. In order to combat the terrorist threat in the southern Philippines, American troops have recently been deployed to Mindanao and are training Philippine forces to track down terrorists. Damaging the Philippines' tuna export market by tipping the scale in favor of other countries will damage the single largest employer and increase instability in the exact area where U.S. troops are deployed to help create stability.

If that were not enough, Mindanao's tuna industry was largely created by U.S. and other donor nations' assistance as a means to increase opportunities and provide jobs for former guerrillas. This effort succeeded and the majority of Muslim separatists in Mindanao have laid down their arms. Disrupting Mindanao's tuna industry will not only create economic instability in a strategically sensitive region, it will waste past investments of U.S. taxpayer money and could return some former Muslim fighters to their violent ways.

I thank my colleague and I agree with him about he seriousness of this matter. Senator Inouye and I became aware of this problem on a recent trip to Asia during which we met with officials in Beijing, Singapore, Jakarta, and Manila. All of our meetings had one common element -- terrorism. Since that trip, Senator Inouye and I have been working to find a solution to this national security problem.

As many of my colleagues may know, radical elements in Indonesia are currently trying to dominate the political and business communities in that country. In Singapore, we were made aware of terrorist attempts to attack the American Embassy with a plot involving 100 tons of explosives. The federal building in Oklahoma City was destroyed with only 3 tons of explosives.

The major area of concern, however, is the Philippines, and in particular the province of Mindanao where the notorious Abu Sayyaf Group is kidnapping innocent people and wreaking havoc through bombings and murders. The general populace does not support this element, and have therefore been victimized. Currently at the invitation of the Philippine Government, American troops are in Mindanao advising and training Philippine troops to more effectively combat this terrorist threat. The Philippines is clearly on the frontline in the war against terror.

Now, the major employee in Mindanao is the canned tuna industry. The bill before us will do significant harm to this industry. If the major employer in Mindanao is not able to maintain economic stability, the chaos in Mindanao will be exacerbated. Damaging the economy of Mindanao, as this bill will do, undermines the ongoing U.S.-Philippine counter-terrorism operation. To harm an ally in the war on terror in this manner clearly is not in the national security interest of the United States.

I thank my colleague for that explanation and for bringing this matter to the Senate's attention. I certainly will join him in seeking a solution to this important national security matter. The only fair solution is to maintain tariff parity for our anti-terrorism allies who compete in this market. I believe my colleague from Missouri would like to make a comment.

I thank my friend for yielding. I, too, would like to express my concern over the dire consequences extending preferential tariff treatment of packed tuna to the Andean region will have on our ASEAN allies. I believe maintaining stability in Mindanao is of utmost importance and I do not want to see our war on drugs succeed at the expense of our war on international terrorism. I urge our colleagues to address this issue during conference deliberations.

Mr. President, I rise today to join my colleagues in expressing concerns about the effects, however unintended, that the proposed duty-free status for Andean nations would have on the canned tuna industry in the Philippines. I refer specifically to the status that would be accorded to canned tuna imports from Ecuador. I spoke during the debate on the harm the current provisions will do to the Philippine economy and how seriously it will undermine the anti- terrorist efforts in the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. But I want to point out again that the tuna industry in the Philippines is located in precisely the area where anti-terrorist efforts are most urgently needed.

For the benefit of our colleagues, I will ask that two recent articles from the New York Times and one from the Asian Wall Street Journal be printed in the Record at the end of this colloquy. These articles detail the importance of the tuna industry to Mindanao and its strong connection to counter-terrorism efforts.

I appreciate my colleagues raising this national security issue today. The unintended consequences of biasing our tuna tariffs against the Philippines were brought to my attention by both the Philippine Ambassador, as well as through the work of my distinguished colleagues. I am deeply concerned about how this bill will undermine America's counter-terrorism work in Mindanao and fully support the view that this issue must be resolved before the conference report is presented to the Senate.

Enough has already been said about how undermining Mindanao's largest employer will spread instability, harm America's image, and waste past taxpayer investment in a critically important region. I do not need to elaborate further on those points. I would like to take just a moment, however, to highlight for my colleagues how this ill-advised provision came to be. The House Ways and Means Committee initially added it to their Andean trade bill. It was not part of the administration's request for Andean counter-narcotics legislation. It was added without a hearing and without examination of the national security implications of making this change in trade law.

When the bill came before the Senate Finance Committee, the committee voted to limit the extent of the preference granted to the Andean countries. I supported that change as an improvement in the bill, but it did not go far enough to resolve the matter. I was hopeful that suggestions made by Senators Inouye and Stevens might be included into this bill to actually solve the problem created by this tuna provision. Fixing this provision on the floor, however, will not now be possible. Therefore, I join my colleagues in urging that parity be maintained for all America's friends seeking to participate in our tuna market. Tipping the balance of this market toward one group and away from another is unfair, wasteful, shortsighted, and counter to America's broader international interests.

Mr. President, assisting Andean countries combat illicit narcotics is an important national security goal for the United States. The Foreign Relations Committee has heard considerable testimony from the administration and other witnesses as to the importance of this issue, both for the United States and for the maintenance of democracy in South America. Much effort and resources are already being devoted to this important goal, and the Administration plans to do still more. The Andean Trade Preferences Act extension passed by the Senate adds important additional support to this effort.

At the same time, however, the United States and our allies are also engaged in a war against terrorism. Defeating global terrorism is a goal no less important than eradicating narcotics trafficking. One of the frontline States in the war against terrorism is the Philippines where, at the invitation of the Philippine Government, U.S. troops have been deployed to train the Armed Forces of the Philippines in counterterrorism. The reason our joint counterterrorism mission with the Philippines is relevant to discussion of the Andean trade bill is because one provision contained in this bill, in a laudable effort to support the legitimate economies of Andean countries, will seriously damage our counter-terrorism effort in the Philippines.

The problematic provision is one that would give preference to Andean countries that export tuna to the United States. The primary loser in the tuna market would be countries in the Asia-Pacific region, especially our close treaty allies Thailand and the Philippines. Moreover, the Philippines' tuna industry is based in the southern province of Mindanao, precisely the region in which we are engaged in our counterterrorism mission. Indeed, Mindanao's tuna industry is in part the result of a successful U.S. foreign assistance program which helped develop economic alternatives for Muslim insurgents that have been active in the region for many years. I say this economic development program has been successful in Mindanao because most of the former insurgents have laid down their weapons and joined mainstream life in the Philippines. Only the most radical remain terrorists.

So, in the Philippines today we have a successful counterterrorism effort underway that incorporates both economic incentives to give people a reason to participate in civil society, and military action against the few extremists who remain committed to violence. We cannot afford to remove one of the pillars of this effort by giving a competing trade advantage to Andean countries. This must be corrected as this bill moves to conference.
