ABSTRACT
The host of new laws and programs established in the late 1960s and early 1970s to address health, safety and environmental concerns in the United States quickly raised a new issue: what should our policy be regarding the export of highly dangerous products or technologies to other countries? In an era of proliferating nuclear capabilities, booming chemical production and sophisticated manufacturing and sales techniques, trade policy took on new implications for consumer, worker and environmental protection around the world.
