Abstract

U.S. Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell yesterday said the Clinton administration has agreed to pursue trade talks to reduce the flood of textiles entering the United States from Ukraine. Ukraine in 1992 exported one million woolen coats to this country, and that number is expected to increase significantly this year, with one manufacturer alone ordering more than one million coats. Defense conversion projects in Ukraine are partly responsible for its large output, and the former Soviet republic's decades-long role of clothing the Soviet military has left it with a huge capacity to produce and sew clothing.
