HIDDEN EFFORT SEEN AGAINST JENKINS BILL
****
THE FIGHT AGAINST THE PROTECTIONIST JENKINS BILL IS LIKE AN ICEBERG - WHAT IS VISIBLE IS BUT A SMALL PART OF THE WHOLE EFFORT, SAID MR ROBERT FOOTMAN, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF TRADE, TODAY.
MR FOOTMAN WAS SPEAKING TO MEMBERS OF THE AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TEXTILES COMMITTEE AT A LUNCH AT THE GOLDEN MILE HOLIDAY INN.
+THE MESSAGE I BRING TODAY IS THIS FIRST, THIS IS AN ISSUE OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO THE U.S., ITS TRADING PARTNERS AND HONG KONG, SECONDLY, THERE ARE MANY PLAYERS ALL OF WHOM MUST BE MOBILISED AND MOTIVATED TO PLAY THE IR PART - THESE INCLUDE U.S. INTERESTS ACROSS THE BOARD, ANYBODY WHO HAS CONTACT WITH THEM, AND THE U.S.'S INTERNATIONAL TRADING PARTNERS AS GROUPS AND AS INDIVIDUALS, THIRDLY: THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT HAS MADE, AND WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE, EVERY EFFORT TO OPPOSE THE BILL.
