CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED

 The bill, as reported, does not propose to repeal or amend 
a statute or part thereof.

 VIII. DISSENTING VIEWS

 Committee Democrats agree with the need to stand by 
Israel--a great ally and partner of the United States. However, 
H.R. 5179 would not strengthen economic and security ties with 
Israel. Instead, the legislation would seriously impair the 
ability of the Biden administration to pursue a viable two-
state solution for Israel and the Palestinian territories.
 H.R. 5179 would require continuation of a country of origin 
marking policy for imported goods produced in the West Bank or 
Gaza as set forth by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the 
Federal Register on December 23, 2020 (85 Fed. Reg. 83984), 
during the Trump administration, to remain in effect until 
repealed by an Act of Congress.
 This legislation seriously interferes with the prerogatives 
of the President to ensure labeling of imported products is 
consistent with U.S. foreign policy. The bill would also hinder 
the U.S. Department of State's ability to carry out other 
foreign policy priorities, including the support of a viable 
two-state solution for Israel and the Palestinian territories. 
The legislation does not provide the flexibility necessary to 
permit the administration to align policy with respect to 
country of origin marking for imported goods with adjustments 
in U.S. foreign policy in the future. The U.S. Department of 
State has identified policy flexibility as critical to ensuring 
both peace and security for Israelis and Palestinians.
 Committee Democrats present at the markup unanimously 
opposed favorably reporting H.R. 5179, as amended, to the House 
of Representatives.
 Sincerely,
 Richard E. Neal,
 Ranking Member.
