September 4, 1985 C(Ji?IGRESSION/ L CORD - Extension of Remarks
Parliament that a "global campaign" was
necessary for democracy's survival and
growth. He urged a coordinated effort by
the major Western democracies, not only to
foster democracy elsewhere but to rejuve-
nate the commitment to democracy within
Western societies.
The promotion of democracy poses risks.
Democracy reflects a specific historical ex-
perience and no one should expect all de-
mocracies to develop the same way. The
promotion of democracy may look to some
like interference in another country's do-
mestic affairs. Also, proponents of democra-
cy sometimes attempt to establish demo-
cratic institutions in countries that lack the
social and economic structure to support
them. Democracies function best where
there is a pluralists structure of private en-
terprise, educational institutions, labor
unions, and other professional and interest
groups. Furthermore, there is need for cau-
tion in supporting individuals who claim to
back democracy. Sometimes these same
leaders later adopt anti-democratic meth-
ods.
The U.S. already has taken significant
steps to promote the spread of democratic
values. In 1983. Congress established the
National Endowment for Democracy, which
seeks to promote and support Initiatives
from the two major U.S. political parties,
labor organizations, business groups, and
university foundations. It also assists the
work of other government-supported offices
like the U.S. Information Agency, the Voice
of America, and Radio Free Europe.
Political party foundations in several
Western countries have also assisted the
growth of democracy through their support
of counterpart political parties in southern
Europe and Latin America. U.S. political
parties are not as Ideological as their Euro-
pean counterparts, but they are also begin-
ning to promote and assist the development
of political parties in countries struggling to
strengthen their democratic systems. Co-
ordinated policies supported by several
countries will have a greater chance of suc-
cess, and can give support to all democratic
parties in a nation rather than just one.
U.S. development assistance can also help
strengthen democratic institutions. Many
democracies now face serious debt problems
and their survival will depend In part on
how we can help them through this period.
Several other democratic countries have sig-
nificant development assistance programs.
These programs help address social and eco-
nomic deprivation and help nurture political
and cultural Institutions that enhance de-
mocracy. To realize these goals, the U.S.
needs to reassess the present imbalance in
its aid program favoring military assistance,
which does little to foster the emergence of
domestic conditions favoring democracy.
Another step the U.S. and its sister de-
mocracies can take Is to respect the political
independence and territorial integrity of
sovereign states. Promoting the overthrow
of governments because their principles and
system do not conform to democratic ideals
will not aid the cause of democracy. Demo-
cratic governments will help their cause
most by following accepted international
rules and using the tools of diplomacy.
Finally, the most important step we can
take to assist democracy is to live up to our
own ideals. Democratic societies are on trial
before the world as they address equal op-
portunity in education and employment,
and such Issues as drugs, crime and other
less attractive aspects of free and individual-
istic societies. They are rightly judged not
just by the freedoms and opportunities they
provide for the most capable, but also by
the compassion they show to those least
able. Each step taken by democracies to

HON. PHILIP M. CRANE
or ILLINOIS
IN THE HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES
Wednesday, September 4, 1985
Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, by September
1, President Reagan has to make a decision
in regards to the International Trade Com-
mission's [ITC] recommendation to impose
quotas on imported footwear. I recently co.
signed a bipartisan congressional letter to
President Reagan urging him to take into
consideration the interests of the American
public as a whole and reject the footwear
quotas.
The effect that the quotas would have on
American families, especially the elderly
and the low-income consumers, must be
weighed into this decision. Quotas would
slap a hidden tax on consumers that would
drive up shoe prices, costing consumers bil-
lions of extra dollars and they would re-
strict the freedom that Americans enjoy of
purchasing whatever shoes they want and
can afford. Over half the shoes sold in
America retail for under $15 and they are
virtually all imported. Quotas cost money-
and the people who would pay the price of
protectionism would be those least able to
afford it.
The ITC estimates that the shoe quota
would cost the US. consumer $50,000 per
year for each $14,000 a year job that is
saved. In terms of overall dollars, it would
result in at least a $1.5 billion per year
extra burden on the American consumer.
Mr. Speaker, in this case, the cost of re-
straints is too high and the benefits to the
domestic shoe manufacturing industry too
negligible to warrant any such action.
i am submitting the following article
on its gradual shift from low-wage, labor-in-
tensive to high-wage, high productivity in-
dustries that can sustain rising living stand-
ards.
What's good for most Americans, of
course, isn't necessarily good for those who
own or work in shoe factories. Of the re-
maining U.S. producers, the most marginal
couldn't possibly survive open world compe-
tition. Even the most productive would ben-
efit from protection. From the Carter Ad-
ministration they got temporary quotas on
imports from Taiwan and Korea. briefly
halting the industry's decline. To the shoe
makers' dismay, President Reagan chose to
Interpret "temporary" to mean just that;
quotas were allowed to lapse in 1981.
Last year the International Trade Com-
mission, an independent Federal agency,
denied the shoe makers' petition for import
relief, citing the high profitability of the
more modern shoe companies. So the indus-
try went back to work the new-fashioned
way: lobbying Congress. That changed the
commission's mind, and for an obvious
reason. The shoe makers speak with a single
voice and can point to job losses in 48 states.
Thus their influence in politics far exceeds
their importance to the economy. The
Senate Finance Committee insisted that the
Trade Commission reconsider.
This time around the commissioners voted
4 to 1 for a plan that would limit imports to
60 percent of the market saving an estimat-
ed 26,000 jobs. By the reckoning of the one
dissenting commissioner, that would cost
consumers $1.28 billion a year, three times
the wages of those 26,000 workers.
To resist, President Reagan may need
more than arguments. Though plainly de-
voted to free trade, he has already yielded
expensive import relief to the clothing, steel
and motorcycle industries. A nation benefit-
ing from open trade needs to offer some-
thing better than protectionism to workers
and communities caught in the tides of in-
dustrial change. But that Is a policy prob-
lem that Washington has never taken seri-

The U.S. International Trade Commis-

American jobs at an annual cost of $50,000
each.

Counterintelligence is also an emotional
issue because it amounts at times to spying
on colleagues to a secret world where rela-
tionships must be based an trust. Mention
of the name James J. Angleton, deposed a

accommodation rather than commitment. It
simply cannot succeed as an accommoda-

Wallop added that recent congressional
attempts to strengthen counterintelligence
"are literally cosmetic, absent a amore seri-
ous effort. The death penalty is not a ootm-
terintelti?enee policy. It can clearly be
useful as a deterrent and It satisfies the na-
tional mood to be outraged ... But It still
isn't at the core of the problem."
The best way to aid the FBI is not simply
to increase the number of counterintelli-
gence agents, several experts agreed, but to
try to shrink the problem by cutting the
number of Soviets in this country or putting
greater restrictions on their travel.

Mr. DYSON. Mr. Speaker, the following
article appeared In the News American no

peating.
At first blush the Senate's proposal to
Impose a $5 per barrel tax on imported oil
sounds like a great revenue raiser--and a
way to reduce the national deficit. Its esti-
mated that the fee and the resultant In-
creased costs on refined products would
yield about $20 billion over the next three
years.
Right away there Is a problem with the
White House, because President Reagan
still is Insisting that the way to cut the defi-
cits Is not to raise taxes but to reduce feder-
al spending. The president hasn't reacted to
the Senate's proposal so far, but a senior
White House official said It would take "a
big horse pill to get him to swallow this.
But the Senate's proposal has a number
of economists concerned about the overall
negative impact on the economy.
For one thing, some economists claim.
the higher tax on energy would affect in-
dustry as well as motorists and bomeown-
en, and there would be a resultant slower
growth in the gross national product., off-
setting much of the gain from the increased
taxes. Also, oil prices have come down, and
If they come down further inflation likely
would fall and real economic growth would
increase. Faster growth would in turn In-
crease Federal revenues.
There is a further concern that with the
$5 fee increasing the price of crude oil and
natural gas in the United States but not in
other countries the domestic oil industry
would be placed in an unfavorable competi.
tive position with other parts of the world.
Other economists have found these argu-
ments, debatable, but the point is that the
Senate, in what appeared to be an easy way
to raise revenues. has opened by an eco-
nomic Pandora's Box.
It may be President Reagan will reject
the proposal outright. But if he doesn't it
would behoove the Senate to take a far
deeper look into the possible results before
going ahead.

1. Treatment for Personal Holding Compa-
ny Tax Purposes of Computer Software
Royalties Derived by Active Businesses (Sec.
t of the Act).
A. Basic Problem: Imposition of the Per-
sona] Holding Company Penalty Tax on
Closely-Held Software Companies.
The basic problem to that small software
development companies often possess the
characteristics that can trigger application
of the personal holding company penalty
tax provisions
(i) The stock of the company is generally
held by relatively few shareholders who
participate directly in the software develop-
ment; and
(ii) Once developed. the corporation's soft-
ware product Is transferred to others by
means of a license to a particular computer
manufacturer or other customer or via a so-
called "box-top" license to the public (under
which the retail customer agrees to the li-
cense merely by opening the wrapper of the
software package). The use of a license is
necessary to protect the developer's proprie-
tary Interest In the software. This form of
transfer has been viewed by the I.R.S. as
giving rise, at least In many cases. to passive
royalty income deemed to be personal hold-
ing company Income. See Private Letter
Ruling 8450025 (September 7, 1984). Howev-
er. these companies clearly are engaging in
active, ongoing business activities, including
the development of new and improved soft-
ware and maintenance activities with re-
spect to existing software products.
The personal holding company penalty
tax provisions were adopted to prevent the

Software development companies conduct-

erations produces an unintended and ex-
tremely harsh result.
B. Exclusion for Computer Software Roy-
alties Derived by an Active Business.
The Act adds a new exclusion from the
definition of personal holding company
income for computer software royalties that
are derived by the corporation from the
active conduct of a trade or business.
C. Standard for Computer Software Roy-
alties from an Active Business.
For purposes of the new exclusion, com-
puter software royalties will be treated as
derived from the active conduct of a trade
or business if the corporation satisfied the
following objective tests.
(1) The royalties must be attributable to
