GRANT OF FURTHER TARIFF REDUCTIONS IN FORTHCOMING NEGOTIATIONS Mr. KERR (for himself, Mr. THURMOND, Mr. CURTIS, Mr. DWORSHAK, Mr. ALLOTT, and Mr. JOHNSTON of South Carolina) submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 104); which was referred to the Committee on Finance: Whereas the Eighty-fifth Congress passed the Trade Agreements Extension Act in August 1958, authorizing the President within a four-year period to reduce existing customs duties up to 20 per centum; Whereas an international conference held under the auspices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade will be convened in the autumn of 1960 and continue into 1961; Whereas the executive branch of the Government pursuant to the provision of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1950 (Public Law 85-686) is engaged in the preparation of a list of products upon which the United States will be prepared to offer further duty reductions, up to 20 per centum, at such international conference; Whereas profound changes in the international competitive standing of United States producers have occurred since the passage of the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1958; Whereas have imports increased sharply since the passage of said Act while exports have declined, thus contributing to the mounting deficits incurred by the United States in the total foreign account, which in 1958 attained the magnitude of $3,400,000,000, and an estimated $4,000,000,000 or more in 1959; Whereas the gold outflow in partial satisfaction of these deficits since January 1958 has exceeded $3,500,000,000, while the stock of gold at Fort Knox has fallen to a level of $19,500,000,000 against which foreign claims of more than $18,000,000,000 are outstanding, approximately $16,000,000,000 of which could be withdrawn on demand; Whereas prevention of a disastrous outflow of gold to foreign countries adds to the pressure on the Treasury Department to offer higher interest rates on its current and future borrowings, thus adding to the outlay for interest on the national debt, the interest service on which has already reached the level of $9,600,000,000 annually and bids fair to rise appreciably, thus adding to the national budget additional billions of dollars of fixed charges; Whereas imports as a whole in 1959 rose approximately 22 per centum compared with 1958, while those from the industrial countries rose more sharply, notably 54 per centum from Japan in the first nine months of 1959 compared with the same period in 1958, and 43 per centum from Europe during the same period, thus reflecting the sharpened competitive advantage that has been gained by other industrial countries over the United States; Whereas imports of beef, pork, mutton and other agricultural products have increased to almost staggering proportions in the face of adequate and frequently surplus production in the United States; Whereas the United States has moved from the position of a leading export nation in a number of items that are products of mass production and therefore the output of our most advanced industries technologically, among them being automobiles, steel, sewing machines, and typewriters, thus reflecting the startling loss of technological leadership by the United States to other countries that enjoy a wage differential in comparison with this country; Whereas numerous domestic manufacturers have in the past two years made arrangements to manufacture abroad as a means of gaining lower production costs and enabling them to supply foreign markets from abroad rather than from the United States and in some instances to ship into the United States from branches established abroad, thus reducing opportunities for employment of American workers, and foreclosing American suppliers of materials and parts to domestic industry, and small American companies that lack the capital resources to invest in foreign facilities from participating in the economic growth represented by such use of United States capital, thereby producing the total effect of shrinking American industrial power and diminishing tax revenues at a time when the cold-war costs of the Federal Government are mounting; Whereas the shrinkage of United States exports would be much more severe than has in fact been registered but for the extensive subsidization of certain crop exports, notably raw cotton and wheat; Whereas such subsidization as a means of stimulating exports adds to the burden on the Treasury and thus cannot be looked to for correction of the deficit position of our total foreign account; Whereas the productivity of labor in other industrial countries has taken a notable leap, stimulated in great degree by some $25,000,000,000 in modern machinery and equipment shipped abroad by the United States during the past seven years, thus increasing the competitive advantage of foreign producers, particularly in the absence of any significant increase in foreign wage rates compared with those prevailing in this country; Whereas American industry may expect increasingly sharp and distressing competition from abroad because of the generally weaker bargaining powers of foreign labor unions compared with those of this country, thus offering no hope of any closing of the cost differential between foreign and domestic producers in the foreseeable future; Whereas this competition, already severe and capturing progressively larger shares of our home market for numerous products, will create grave problems of survival for some of our industries and of maintaining in such industries an American scale of wages and the enjoyment of an American standard of living for their workers, even without further tariff reductions by the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress: (1) That the United States should grant no further tariff reductions in the forthcoming tariff negotiations under the auspices of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade in 1960 and 1961, notwithstanding the authorization contained in Public Law 85-686, known as the Trade Agreements Extension Act of 1958.
