On the recordOctober 17, 1966
The unresolved labor disputes have resulted in a strike by Local 647 of the International Union of the United Automobile Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, AFL-CIO, and Locals 34 and 912 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL--CIO at the Evendale, Ohio Plant of General Electric Company which, in my opinion, affects a substantial part of the military jet engine industry of the United States, which are industries engaged in trade, commerce, transportation, transmission or communication among the several states or with foreign nations, or engaged in the production of goods for commerce, which strike if permitted to continue will imperil the national safety.
