His political advisers were convinced that Congress would force acceptance of the ITC recommendation, so Ford might as well impose quotas and take the credit. The stainless-steel case is only the first of several that the President must resolve soon. By May 20, he must decide whether to raise tariffs sharply on imported shoes; by June 1, he must make a similar decision on stainless-steel flatware.
