Eisenhower seeks broader tariff powers in foreign policy push
President Eisenhower asked Congress for expanded authority to cut tariffs as part of a bold program to bolster U S security and economic growth. The plan, drawn from a special commission, would extend the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act and grant broader tariff adjustment power while urging less aid to other countries and reduced domestic preference in government purchases. The message faces opposition from GOP lawmakers wary of tariff cuts and political/regulatory quagmires.
