The drawback provision 10 stiii the
subject OF dispute.
Agreement that the provision Of the
Dingley law should be re-enacted In
place Of the House provision had al
most been reached when the House
conferees insisted that provfso
should be added requiring importations
TO be made within three years In order
70 gain the benefit OF the drawback.
This feature was q part Of the pro-
vision adopted by the House which
had also eliminated the necessity OF
identifying the Imported raw material
In the manufactured product offered
for export.
The Senate conferees insisted that
the removal Of the Identification clause
opened the door to fraud. and that thf
three-year provision narrowed Y
Drawback In such . manner that :
would work 3 hardship to nanufactusl
ers who availed themselves of the
drawback privileges.
The conferees representing the two
branches Of Congress split upon this
question. and It was laid aside for con-
sideratioh later.
The House provision allowing Q
drawback to the amount Of the inter-
nal revenue tax paid on domestic all
cohol used In articles such as per-
fumes and cosmetics manufactured for
the foreign trade, was agreed to ten
tatively. It will be Incorporated in
the drawback provision. finally adopted.
