The Senate changed the House measure in three ways which could have a severe impact on imports. lifting of overseas barriers to U.S.

products, and defense burden-sharing, Long contends. A new round of negotiations on some of these problems begins in Rome Tuesday.

Under the House bill, if the surcharge ends, the credit automatically applies to foreign goods. of the section repealing the 7 per cent auto excise so that the President could reinstate this levy on foreign cars.

The Seriate decided also to keep in the bill a provision strongly opposed in Canada and other foreign countries which is designed to give American companies a tax break on export sales. Under it, a company can set up a domestic international sales corporation (DISC) and channel into it a substantial part of its export sales income and then receive a tax deferral on it..
