 102 STAT. 1184

PUBLIC LAW 100-418—AUG. 23, 1988

supercomputers have targeted the supercomputer industry with the objective of eventual domination of the global computer market; and (8) the supercomputer industry plays a central role in the technological competitiveness and national security of the United States. (b) SENSE OP CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the Congress that the United States Trade Representative and other appropriate officials of the United States Government should— (1) give the highest priority to concluding and enforcing agreements with the Government of Japan which achieve improved market access for United States manufacturers of supercomputers and end any predatory pricing activities of Japanese companies in the United States, Japan, and other countries; and (2) continue to monitor the efforts of United States manufacturers of supercomputers to gain access to the Japanese market, recognizing that the Government of Japan may continue to manipulate the government procurement process to maintain the market dominance of Japanese manufacturers.
