Mr Kearns urged importers to use diversification and mederation in buying Hongkong cotton apparel for the U.S. market to avoid injury to U.S. producers and still keep the door open for a reasonable import volume." the announcement said.

He elted spectacular increase in U.S. imports of several Hongkong cotton apparel items, such as low-priced brassieres and shirts. This "over-concentration,” un- leashed by voluntary action, would raise demands for import controls, Kearns anid.

Last February Mr Kearns visited Hongkong to discuss the problem with textile manufacturers and export- ers there,
