To suspend temporarily the duty on electron guns for cathode ray tubes (CRT's) with a high definition television screen aspect ratio of 16:9, and for other purposes.

This bill proposed to temporarily eliminate import taxes (duties) on specific high-tech components used to manufacture televisions, including electron guns for widescreen cathode ray tubes, liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, and plasma display panels. By reducing the costs for American manufacturers to import these essential parts through the end of 2006, the legislation aimed to make high-definition and flat-screen televisions more affordable for consumers. Ultimately, the bill sought to support the domestic electronics industry during the market transition from traditional tube televisions to newer digital and flat-panel technologies.
