First. let me support the gentleman from Arkansas . the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means in his statement that this bill has some good features. I will not elaborate on them because they have been adequately explained. But these good features could have been gotten without the import quota restrictions which relate to textiles. footwear. oil. mink skins. glycine. and without opening the door. potentially. to import quotas on hundreds of other products. I have been told that 500 quota bills are waiting in the wings. The committee claims that the textile and footwear restrictions would be temporary. but temporary quotas. like temporary Government buildings. tend to become permanent. The import quotas under the Trade Act of 1970 are not needed.
