Trust Buster Seeks Nationwide Anti-Trust Staff
Arnold proposes a 150-person federal team of economists and lawyers to enforce anti-trust laws across the nation. He says the plan, startable within a week with funds, could cost about 2.3 million annually and save public money during defense needs and possible economic upswing. The proposal calls for field offices in each state and a flexible 100-person pool to investigate or prosecute violations. An enduring economic committee would hold hearings for industries and businesses operating under current anti-trust statutes.
