The majority. report failed to refer to my position in favor of a mandatory quota control. I wish to repeat emphatically the position that I took which is that we firmly believe that the American textile industry because of its importance to our own and world economy and for various valid historical reasons cannot be subjected to indiscriminate international competition. It is our opinion. furthermore. that the potentially ruinous effect of Indiscriminate foreign competion should be barred by quota restriction similar to the quota principle which has been invoked in tariff negotiations with Mexico. Mandatory quota controls we believe are imperative and just. and the bill should be amended to provide such mandatory quota controls.
