Says John Young, chief executive of Hewlett-Packard and former head of President Reagan's Commission on Industrial Competitiveness: ''Manufacturing is the foundation upon which a service economy is built.'' Fears of deindustrialization are a major force behind protectionist sentiments in Congress, which are rising in a new crescendo. In the past year more than 200 restrictive trade measures have...
