Textile Bill Faces Slowdown Delay Ahead of Adjournment
Textile industry supporters warn that sending the trade bill to a House Senate conference could delay action before adjournment. The measure would freeze textile and apparel imports at 1987 levels with 1 percent growth, and curb non rubber footwear imports, while critics say higher prices reduced choices and job losses may follow. The Senate has yet to act after House passage, amid veto threats and calls for a conference to resolve differences. Leaders fear a pocket veto and seek to push Reagan to desk within the session.
