Mr. Speaker. today I introduced in Congress a tariff bill designed to protect Connecticuts industries and labor from an influx of cheaplabor foreignmade products. This bill has been changed from the quota bill that was introduced a year ago by my honorable colleague HENDERSON LANHAM. The changes that have been incorporated in this bill were the result of further study and consideration of the objections that are sometimes made against absolute quotas. Members of this House in whose home districts are located various industries that are adversely affected by import competition do not have to be told that we need a new approach to the problem. And I understand that several other Members of this body will join me in the introduction of a general import quota bill. I welcome the cooperation of my honorable colleagues. The remedies against injury from imports provided in recent years by Congress and to which we have looked successively with renewed hope as new laws were passed have now proved themselves ineffective.
