to negotiate with Japan for voluntary
reduction of its auto shipments to
America after the International
Trade Commission ruled 3-2 Mon
day that imports were not the prime
cause of their economic distress.
“We continue to urge the U.S.
government to take the initiative in
persuading the Japanese govern
ment, in its own self interest, to
voluntarily adopt more prudent
trade practices with the United
States,” General Motors said in a
statement from Detroit.
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
