President Nixon sends Congress a complex trade bill
Nixon introduces a 33 page bill aimed at giving the president standby authority to impose selective import duties on nations allegedly discriminating against American goods. The measure seeks to curb foreign barriers, back up a free trade stance, and restore balance to the U.S. trade deficit amid years of imports surpassing exports. House committee leaders signal support for broader discretionary power to counter discrimination against American exports.
