Presidential Memorandum

Presidential Determination on Pedestal Actuator Imports from the People's Republic of China

President Bush declined to impose import quotas on pedestal actuators from China despite a USITC finding of market disruption, determining that trade relief would harm the broader U.S. economy, downstream industries, and consumers including disabled and elderly users of mobility devices. The memorandum directs the U.S. Trade Representative to publish the decision in the Federal Register.
