Bethlehem Steel, the nation’s second largest producer, had earlier urged Nixon to roll back steel prices after a 12.5 percent rise in construction steel. It then trimmed its increase to 6.8 percent to stay competitive with other producers, following U S Steel’s 6.8 percent average rise.
The text notes the president’s leverage over steel price policy as agreements limiting Japanese and European imports expire this year. Nixon signals renewed imports if prices don’t drop, arguing 6.8 percent is better than 12.5 percent but still high. It suggests broader action to curb rising prices and wages beyond restraint.
