Washington, Juno 19. President John Kennedy and his adminis- tration would like a substantial re- duction of at least 30 per cent in Hongkong-made textiles entering the United States, said Mr George W. Ball, U.S. Under-Secretary of State today. But textile sources here said the U.S. industry was unhappy with this as they considered that im- ports in 1960 had reached too high a level. Mr Ball said that negotiations are underway with the Colony to hold the present level of exports until an international textile conference can be convened in late July or August.
