Kennedy urges bipartisan backing for tariff cut trade act
President Kennedy asked Congress for swift bipartisan endorsement of a five year plan to lower tariffs and create a freer trading partnership with Europe.

The draft bill to replace the trade agreements act was sent to the Ways and Means Committee and aims to reduce barriers with the European Common Market. Kennedy urged overcoming bloc interests to maintain two decades of liberal trade policy. He cited export dependence of farmers and manufacturers to justify tariff reductions.
