Speaker. I am today joining my distinguished colleagues. the gentlemen from Massachusetts in reintroducing the Orderly Marketing Act of 1967. with the hope that enactment of this legislation may bring some relief to hardhit American industry. especially footwear and textiles. This bill is not a rigid protection measure. nor would it impose an inflexible quota system on imports. But it Is designed to give some American industries. hard hit by a massive and increasing flood of lowcost foreign imports. a chance to readjust to changing conditions of world trade. This situation has threatened the very existence of domestic manufacturers. particularly the smaller ones. and their workers in a number of industries. notably the textile. shoe. and farming industries.
