The legislation approved by a 276 vote in the House Ways and Means Committee provides opportunities and incentives for more investment. more production and more Jobs in the Caribbean area. These opportunities ... if realized intelligently and energetically by the people of the Basin ... will stimulate selfsustaining growth to serve as the foundation for political and social progress and stability. The alternative. and the inevitable result of continued political and economic unrest in our immediate neighborhood would be a highly uncertain security situation. a rising flow of immigration. and direct and disruptive human consequences for the United States. Understandable concerns have been expressed by some about possible effects on U.S. production and employment. We believe the legislation as it emerged from the Committee is balanced with safeguards for our most vulnerable industries.
