Ar.iong tho le gislation coijsi Icictl this week by the Kou-^e of Representat- i\es was the Foreign AkI Ap propriations bill, the Trade He- fojm Act of 1973, the National Fnergy Emergency Act and the ('onferrnce Report on the Dis trict of Columbia .Self-govorn- nunt .^.ct. The Trade Reform Act, which provided new authorities for U. tv jrarticipation in the upcoming ICeneva multinational trade talks, was passed by the House of Representatives by a vote of 272 to 110. I supported this le gislation after voting for an a- mendant which forbid the ex tension of U. S. Export-Import Rank credit for trade purposes with Communist countries which restrict emigration. I think that nearly everyone agrees that the time has come for some basic shift in our in ternational posture. The inter national marketplace in the 19- 70's is no longer the market we I'.new in the 19.’50's and 19f;0’s. Major structural changes in the world economy have oecuried a fi<rmany and Japan emergerl as •sriong cconmic and competitive powers. The woi'Id monetary ay- slem has become Increasingly unsi il)!c and ine(iiillal)le. The, ^?- suit el all of tlie e changes h is ceil lii(‘ evoliuKin t)i a world r.iarket slrutiure vulnerable to rc.unxiir crisis and stioss and distroioion reform hill is partbailarly ad- dre sed toward permitting the U. S. to play a leading role in the forging of a new and more realistic international market. However, uniike most trade legislation, tin* Trade lie form Act of 1973 also looks at the needs of the American wor- kc*r and American business. It increase power, to deal with unfair trade praclices of other nations. Sanctions are strengt hened which deal with the dump ing of cheapen', below-cost for eign good.s, restricti\e and criminatory foreign trade riers, and other such practice? . This means, of course*, addition al pioicction for American jobs against unfair competition. The Trade Reform Act also addition al piolection of American jobs and industry from foreign good through economic relief and ad justment assistance to both firms and their employees. The Trade Reform Act is not fier- The Ilou.-.e of Ro])res(*ntalive.s also passed the Foreign Aid Ap- prcprialions Act this week on a very close vole of 219 to I'^’O. I voted against the foreign aid ap- economic pi’opriation, as I have every Tho trade year that I have been in Con gress. Tliis y(*ar‘s foieign aid appropriations hill in the House totalled $o.s billion. This re;>re- a cut of iaci' billion from the Armbiisfialion's re quest. In my ojiinion, this near past ijiiiion figure simply repre- •sents too much money going a- •road that could he belter spent in America on our own domestic priorities or retuined to the? ix?o- ple through Iowa?!* taxes. Parti cularly at a time when we face economic difficulties over the next year, it is much better to keep these funds for domestic in the United States. n(K*ds bai- As this goes to press, we are still debating and amending the National Energency Act on the floor of the House. Next week, I / ill give you a wrap-up report on on this legislation which is very important to every Ameiican.
