MEMORANDUM
TO: SENATOR DOLE
FROM: NINA OVIEDO
COPY TO: SHEILA BURKE, BRET FOX
SUBJECT: DANFORTH REQUEST -- EC OILSEED PROBLEM
Senator Danforth has asked whether you would call a meeting of interested GOP members and the Administration to discuss the political consequences of recent actions by the USTR.
Apparently, the USTR has announced that it will seek binding arbitration on the amount of damages in the oilseed case. This is unacceptable to the soybean group given that last April, the USTR announced its intentions to retaliate. According to Senator Danforth, the midwest will view this as "caving in to the EC".
I understand that Senators Grassley and Bond are quite irritated as well.
Ambassador Hills' office also called requesting a meeting.
Would you like to convene a meeting? 
:selected: Yes, please follow up. {illegible}
:unselected: No, unable to schedule.
