Steel Import Quota Bill Ready For Senate
Sen. Vance Hartke will introduce in the Senate a quota bill to curb foreign steel mill products and pig iron imports. Co sponsored by Everett Dirksen both Finance Committee members. The measure sets ceilings on imports by product and country to protect U.S. jobs and balance of payments while allowing some foreign share in growth. Hartke says the law is needed to counter surging imports, weaken domestic industry, and unfair competition in world markets.
