Mr. Speaker. a year ago I introduced a bill providing for the establishment of import quotas on products that were being imported to the detriment of American industry and labor. That bill called for the establishment of absolute but flexible quotas after determination of the supporting facts by the United States Tariff Commission. This year I am again introducing a general import quota bill but it differs in some important respects from the previous one. Instead of relying on absolute quotas alone more emphasis is placed in the new bill on tariff quotas. Let me explain the difference. The "absolute quota" sets a definite or definable limit on the volume or amount of imports of a particular product that may be imported during a given year or a part of such year.
