Support for H.R. 3075: Changing Canned Tuna Quota Qualification

The letter is urging Mr. Jones to support a bill introduced by Congressman Sam Gibbons that would change the quota system for canned tuna imports. Currently, tuna from American Samoa is not subject to quotas or duties, which is seen as unfair. The bill would classify only tuna imports from foreign sources against the quota. The letter states that this legislation will correct an injustice and prevent a doubling of duties on tuna imports. The Association of Food Distributors, Inc. is represented by the law firm Harris, Berg & Creskoff, who can provide additional information.
