11373. USX, THE STEEL INDUSTRY, AND TRADE POLICY. Examines the history of USX (formerly U.S. Steel) and the U.S. steel industry as a whole since 1980 in the context of trade policy. Looks at how USX and the industry have sought quotas and tariffs against imports; how USX twice sought to cooperate with foreign competition in an effort to circumvent it. Concludes that the tariffs and quotas have harmed USX and the industry more than they have helped it. 12 pages, 45 footnotes, 26 bibliographic sources.
