RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT
WHEREAS, the textile and apparel industries contirubte substantially to the
entire national economy, and more particulary to the economy of our local community;
and
WHEREAS, employees of these industries have exemplified the highest standards of
productivity, efficiency and citizenship; and
WHEREAS, thousands of families in Iredell County depend upon these industries
for their livelihood; and
WHEREAS, these American industries have been adversely affected in recent years
by the growing volume of imports of textile and apparel products from foreign
countries; and
WHEREAS, this growth of foreign imports has contributed substantially to the
elimination of some 700,000 American textile and apparel jobs, plus causing an
adverse effect upon supporting industries such as fiber companies, textile machinery
manufacturers, textile chemical manufacturers, financial institute, utilities,
trucking and other native industries which also contribute substantially to our
economic well being; and
WHEREAS, little has been done at the national level to bring about a reasonable
balance between foreign imports and normal growth of the native industires, wit-
nessed by the fact that textile/apparel imports have increased 50 percent since the
first of 1984 over the same period a year ago; and
WHEREAS, there is a serious need for public awareness of the encomic impact,
and a need for action at the state and national level to bring about a reasonable
solution;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Iredell County Board of Commissioners
hereby expresses its support of the textile/apparel/fiber industries' "Crafted With
Pride in America" Buy American Effort, that citizens of our community take notice
of this serious problem, and that we hereby make this doc-went a part of the
record of this official body.
