Tariff Bill Advances Amid Reciprocal Trade Debate
The House completed action on a tariff bill with a one year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act and accepted Senate amendments. The measure, sent to the White House, would renew trade authority unless President Truman vetoes it. Significant changes were made, including the removal of veto provisions tied to tariff reforms and a push by Republicans to extend the act with limited changes. President Truman faced pressure over global economic leadership and congressional timing for recommendations.
