Godfearing people who have worked hard all their lives in an industry that has allowed them to raise their children. send them through school. and now to a great extent. foreign imports have put them out of work at an age they are unable to find other employment. I think it is high time that this Congress took care of our own American people and our very important American industries before considering what is best for some foreign nation in a reciprocal trade program. I urge every Member of this Congress to act swiftly in passing the import quota bill and opposing the OTC. in order that Americans will be afforded the opportunity to earn a livelihood for themselves and their families. an opportunity to which they are entitled here in this great land of plenty.
