S. 2380
To provide for the liquidation or reliquidation of certain entries of tomato sauce preparation.


IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

April 29, 2002
Mr. KERRY introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance

A BILL
To provide for the liquidation or reliquidation of certain entries of tomato sauce preparation.


Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

(b) REQUESTS- Reliquidation may be made under subsection (a) with respect to an entry described in subsection (d) only if a request therefor is filed with the Customs Service within 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act and the request contains sufficient information to enable the Customs Service to locate the entry or reconstruct the entry if it cannot be located and to confirm that the entry consists of tomato sauce preparations properly classifiable under subheading 2103.90.60 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States.

(c) PAYMENT OF AMOUNTS OWED- Any amounts owed by the United States pursuant to the liquidation or reliquidation of an entry under subsection (a) shall be paid not later than 180 days after the date of such liquidation or reliquidation.

This is a courageous bill, and I give high praise to Senator Kerry for introducing this bill. I think this excuses his conduct surrounding the Iraq resolution vote.

7. Kudos to Kerry and Theresa Heinz Kerry for keeping tomatoes on the radar

of the American public, and refusing to get involved in trifling quibbles over a few invasions or whiny bottom-feeders who can't even scrape together a few thou for routine surgery.

If I were in the Senate, I would sure try to fix the steel industry which is, at this time, wreaking havoc on my and my dad's business.

LOL - I really would. Guess it's a good thing I'll never be in the Senate, huh?

24. That's exorbiant.
I knew my hunch about Kerry was correct, New England patrician.

The common man like myself can afford no more than $13. Kerry is out of touch with the American people.

Do you know how many people are attacked by killer tomatoes every year? Do you know how much sodium is in catsup? My God, this is going to jeopardize several dozen catsup companies... good Lord Almighty! Now that I think about it, I'm not putting anymore catsup on my Freedom Fries.

That does it. Kerry has lost my vote, that's for sure. Thank GOD for this liberating piece of propaga, er, um... information.

28. So he's on the commerce committe and drafted a bill affecting commerce
Edited on Wed Feb-25-04 12:38 AM by nothingshocksmeanymo
It isn't like he named a brand in the bill.

If this is the best you can come up with, then by all means, we should continue to slander Kerry and hand off the reigns to the guy that authored a war to benefit Haliburton.
