To express the sense of Congress that the President, the United States Trade Representative, the Secretary of Transportation and the Secretary of Commerce must take all appropriate and necessary steps to eliminate, through international agreements or otherwise, restrictive foreign shipping practices which restrain or prevent U.S. flag vessels from fair and equitable participation in the transportation of motor vehicles into the United States.

Urges the President, the United States Trade Representative, the Secretary of Transportation, and the Secretary of Commerce to take appropriate steps to: (1) eliminate, through international agreements, restrictive foreign shipping practices which restrain U.S.-flag carriers from equitable participation in the ocean transportation of imported motor vehicles into the United States from countries that export more than 50,000 motor vehicles to the United States; (2) increase the number of U.S.-flag vessels owned by U.S. citizens that transport such vehicles in foreign commerce; and (3) report to the Congress on the steps taken and progress made.
