We got a cordial reception, although obviously
not a very willing consideration of the subject. I think it

very fair to say that most of the countries hoped that the

subject would go away rather than their having to deal with
us on it.

We made it quite clear that the subject would not
go away; that it had to be brought to a solution some way
or other. We invited their consideration and their advice
and some of them did make suggestions to us in one way or
another.

at least four or five hours of discussion on the technical
matters and on our other trade objectives so that we had

every opportunity for full interchange of views.
QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, on the non-tariff barriers
you suggested there would be a bilateral exchange of lists
which you had. What about the other countries? Is there
a plan for a multilateral negotiation on this?-
SECRETARY STANS: At the present time, the GATT
21 organization in Geneva is pulling together lists of known
non-tariff barriers in all the countries. These are based

upon representations made by the exporting countries of the
varriers that they are finding in countries that they are
trying to deal with.
