Tariff Commission head seeks substantial budget boost
Cath erine May Bedell, the first woman to chair the Tariff Commission, urged Congress for a bigger budget less than a week into the post. She sought a $300,000 hike to the $5 million baseline to fund investigations on multinational firms, uniform customs standards, tariff barriers, antidumping, and unfair practices, asserting the extra funds are essential for timely reports and hearings. Bedell, 57, a Yakima native, former teacher and broadcaster, served six years in the Washington state Legislature and was elected to the House in 1958, serving until defeat in 1970. The divorcee recently remarried and does not plan a comeback.
