RISING TIDE OF IMPORTS OF TEXTILES AND APPAREL OF WOOL, COTTON
AND MAN- MADE FIBERS IS CAUSING GROWING THREAT TO EMPLOYMENT.
CONDITIONS AND SECURITY OF MILLION AND HALF APPAREL WORKERS
AND MILLION TEXTILE WORKERS, AND ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISADVANTAGED, DEPEND ON ESTABLISHMENT
OF COMPREHENSIVE INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE ORDERLY
FLOW OF IMPORTS. STRONGLY URGE THAT DURING YOUR VISIT WITH
FAR EASTERN COUNTRIES YOU WILL IMPRESS UPON THEM SERIOUSNESS
OF SITUATION, AND CRITICAL NEED TO COME TO SATISFACTORY INTERNATIONAL
AGREEMENT. FAILURE TO REACH AGREEMENT, WILL LEAD US TO RENEW
OUR EFFORTS TO SECURE IMPORT QUOTA LEGISLATION FROM CONGRESS
