Loss of $100,000 Seen In Trade Bill Failure
Washington AP reports a major bill failing to pass in the 91st Congress carries a likely outlay of over 100000 in staff work, hearings, printing, and lobbying. The Trade Act of 1970 would have involved 400 witnesses, 4651 pages of testimony, and 96 page bill with a 190 page report, with extensive executive sessions and interdepartmental staff effort. The bill’s demise leaves open the chance for a fresh start in 1971 with potential hearings and revisions under Mills and the Ways and Means Committee.
