persuade United States motor vehicle dealers, in choosing replacement 
parts for motor vehicles, to favor foreign-made parts rather than 
domestically produced parts. Such report shall include recommended 
administrative or legislative action that the Secretary and the Federal 
Trade Commission consider appropriate to assure that domestic producers 
of replacement parts are accorded fair access to the United States 
market for such parts.
