Mr. DODD submitted the following resolution (S. Res. 387); which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations:

Whereas the American firearms industry is important to the national security of the United States; and

Whereas since 1956 hundreds of thousands of used surplus military rifles have been imported into the United States market at prices with which the American arms industry cannot compete, thus threatening to destroy the defense readiness of this essential industry; and

Whereas, on June 29, 1956, six of the leading American firearms manufacturers filed a petition with the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization, asking for relief against such imports and no decision has been forthcoming from this Agency; and

Whereas the Department of Defense in furtherance of national security has frozen further disposition of the vast quantities of military surplus rifles owned by the United States Government; and
