In 1987 Silvio Conte, a Congressman who represented the Massachusetts district where Crane is based, introduced the Conte Amendment, which was passed by Congress and bars foreign suppliers unless no domestic source exists.

Congress also threw up a hurdle for Crane's American competitors.

But for the majority...
...Tuesdays and Thursdays she only goes to school. On Saturdays and Sundays she works a full day. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday she pulls a double shift of school then work. This 21-year-old gets no days off. But she doesn?t seem stressed, and she doesn?t complain. She has a smile for everyone. Some critics might say Sara Lopez "lacks independence," because she lives with her parents. But she adores her family, who immigrated from Oaxaca before she was born. They own a little blue house in Mid-City Los Angeles, with a pet chicken...
