Earl Blumenauer said "I appreciate that very much. And I hope that there is one area that we might be able to engage in some activity in the future. According to a 2007 report by the ITC, there is no commercially viable production of recreational performance outerwear in the United States, yet these products still face tariffs averaging 14 percent, and some go up to almost 30 percent. So I look forward to continuing to work with you to achieve the next goal of the OUTDOOR Act, which would be duty elimination. As was discussed before, there is no viable domestic production, very high rates. There are not many opportunities to pursue tariff relief anymore because we have been moving in that direction, and I think that is important. But I look forward to working with you to find the appropriate offset, to deal with revenue neutrality, and enact tariff relief on those products as soon as we can." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
