Kennedy Eyes Tariff Cut Fight Over Imports Authority
President Kennedy signals a partisan clash as he seeks congressional power to slash tariffs on imports. He urges business and labor to keep prices and wages down while pursuing broader overseas markets. The plan faces stiff opposition from some business groups and labor factions wary of intensified foreign competition. He presses for long term reciprocity and a European market approach, but stops short of endorsing U.S. entry into the European Common Market. The administration says a renewal of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act is needed to pursue these aims. Kennedy has addressed NAM and AFL-CIO, urging wage restraint and price stability while stressing productivity and efficiency. The outcome hinges on Congress with the act due to expire June 30.
