        The Secretary may, for each article described in paragraph (2), 
    make available some or all of the commercial export promotion

        Paragraph (1) shall apply in the case of articles for which the 
    United States has instituted, under any international trade 
    agreement, any dispute settlement proceeding based on an unfair 
    trade practice if such proceeding has been prevented from 
    progressing to a decision by the refusal of the party maintaining 
    the unfair trade practice to permit the proceeding to progress.

    For any article described in subsection (a)(2) of this section, the 
Secretary shall--
        (1) promptly consult with representatives of the industry

    regarding specific actions or the development of an integrated 
    marketing strategy utilizing some or all of the commercial export 
    programs of the Department of Agriculture and the Commodity Credit 
    Corporation to help mitigate or offset the effects of the unfair 
    trade practice identified in subsection (a)(2) of this section; and
        (2) ascertain and take into account the industry preference for 
    the practical use of available commercial export promotion programs 
    in implementing subsection (a)(1) of this section.
