Furthermore. the law permits imports to exceed the amount of the quota by as much as 10 percent before quotas are actually imposed. Thus. the base quota for 1969. legally speaking. is set at 988 million pounds. However. imports could rise to as much as 1.086 million pounds before quotas would be imposed. Foreign suppliers are given more than their fair share of our market by the present quota system. They should not expect to have the quotas lifted. which would mean giving away a further share of the market which rightfully belongs to our own producers. There are a few comments I would like to make and perhaps ask the Senator a few questions.
