First of all. it is discriminatory in its selection of the products that are preferred. namely. oil. textiles. and nonrubber footwear. It eliminates all of the others. many of which are manufactured in my own district. probably one of the most industrialized in the country. and which in the judgment of their producers both management and labor. and in my own judgment. are equally worthy of consideration for quotas rather than being relegated to the remedy of adjustment assistance. which deals with damages or unemployment compensation rather than jobs. The second question for me involves. of course. the continuation of the quota system for oil. Certainly all of us in the Northeast. in the State of Connecticut and in the other States in the northeastern part of the country. are terribly concerned about what the future may bring. As has been suggested previously in this debate. the Presidents own Commission suggested a change from a system of quotas to one of tariffs. Not only has this suggestion been repudiated. but the quota system would be perpetuated in this legislation. What this might bring for the homeowners of Connecticut and New England in the winter ahead is certainly a matter of tremendous concern to us. For this reason.
