Trade Act of 1979 (S.1376- H.R.4537) (7266 words) |
 | This Act granted further powers to the presidency to negotiate and reduce tariffs and allowed for the government to enter into agreements for the reduction and elimina- tion of non-tariff barriers, provided implementing legislation was approved by both houses of Congress. |
| As mentioned previously, this section follows the trend set in former Trade Acts of this country and strengthens the office of the presidency with regard to determining retaliatory measures to be used against countries which, in the executive branch's opinion, are violating the agreements. |
| The basic conclusions of advocates of the 1979 Trade Act are that the general philosphy and thrust of the purpose of the negotiations as stated in the general overview on each section of the bill were achieved. |
