American Motors Corp. said, “We are disappointed, but we recognize that the ITC had a difficult and com plex task in reviewing all sides of the import problem. We hope the Japanese will take voluntary action to reduce the flood of imports now en tering this country.” Chrysler Corp. had no comment, but its chairman, Lee lacocca, has frequently appealed for a gentle man’s agreement with the Japanese under which they would stop export ing cars to America that were built on overtime. That could reduce imports by several hundred thousand units a year. The administration has said any attempt to negotiate a voluntary ex port limitation with Japan would violate U.S. antitrust laws. Not so, says Peter D. Ehrenhaft, a lawyer representing Ford in the ITC case. “The president has authority under his foreign policy powers to speak to a foreign government about limiting its imports,” Ehrenhaft said. “It might violate antitrust laws if the president talked to a foreign indus try, but not to a foreign govern ment.” The ITC, a federal agency set up by Congress to consider trade dis putes, ruled that while the U.S. auto industry has suffered serious injury, imported cars and light trucks have not been the main cause. The majority said more important causes were a shift in public demand toward small cars, prompted by high gasoline prices, and an overall de cline in demand for all cars due to the Bill Harvey, a graduate student from San Diego, praefej the banjo in hopes of organizing a Texas A&M Universilyll grass association on campus.
