US OFFICIALS LEAN TOWARD END OF RESTRAINTS

Trade Representative William Block's blunt attack on big bonuses paid to American auto executives has rekindled the debate over voluntary restriction on Japanese exports to the U.S. In this interview Secretary of Commerce Malcolm Baldrige adds his tentative agreement, dismisses assertions that ending restrictions would result in an explosion of new models that could push Japanese market share from its present 22 percent to as much as 40 percent, says the quotas were never meant to be long-term, is against U.S. government involvement, and stresses his strong consumer interest in lifting the restrictions.
