      "summary": "After two generations of almost unchallenged supremacy, the U.S. auto\r\nindustry has recently faced plummeting sales, rising competition from imports,\r\nand mounting requirements for capital investment and structural change. This\r\nhas resulted in massive spilling of red ink in the industry's profit and\r\nloss columns, further financial pressures on the ailing Chrysler Corporation,\r\nlayoffs of nearly 250,000 workers (as of August 4, 1980 in the automotive\r\nindustry alone according to the United Auto Workers Union) and soaring claims\r\nfor unemployment compensation and trade adjustment assistance. This study focuses on import competition in the auto industry and the\r\neconomic impact of proposals to limit such competition through either import\r\nquotas or agreements with foreign governments (Japan) to restrict automotive\r\nexports to the United States.",
