THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1977 Bill Proposes Steel Dumping Curbs For U.S. WASHINGTON (UPI) A group of senators from steel-producing regions announced Wednesday they plan to introduce legislation next week that'would curb dumping of foreign products, primarily steel, on the U.S. market. Sens. John Glenn and Howard Met- zenbaum, both D-Ohio, in a joint statement, said they would join Sens.

Jennings Randolph, Birch Bayh, and H. John Heinz III, R- in introducing the Trade Procedures Reform Act in the Senate. Glenn and Metzenbaum said although the decision to introduce the bill was prompted by growing unemployment stemming from steel imports, the legislation would apply to imports of all goods. "This bill is an important part of our overall national commitment to get America's steel industry back on its feet," the senators said. "This adjustment will not be easy because of the complex nature of trade matters, the relations of the U.S.

economy to the world economy and the nature of the steel industry," Glenn and Met- zenbaum said. "However, we have an obligation to the American steel producers and to those who work the industry, to make positive proposals and work as a full partner with the Administration in developing a comprehensive and comprehensible industrial policy which the American people can understand and support," said the senators. The bill would: --Authorize Congress to override any presidential decision lifting or altering import quotas. --Mandate the president's special trade representative to complete his probe of alleged dumping or other trade violations within six months. Greatly increase the amount that must be posted by importers when U.S.

authorities make a preliminary finding that dumping has occurred. --Require that the International Trade Commission and the U.S. Treasury Department conduct concurrent investigations of alleged trade act violations and their injury to American manufacturers rather than consecutive probes.
