Labor Secretary Ray Marshall told Japanese auto executives and labor leaders in OPPAMA that the Carter administration faces growing political pressure to limit imports of Japanese cars which supply about a quarter of the U.S. auto market. He cited about 1 million unemployed in the U.S. auto industry during a one hour visit to a Datsun plant near Tokyo operated by Nissan Motor Co. The rise in import curtailment demand underscores the tension between U.S. auto jobs and foreign competition.
