Councilman Gillanders requested that Council draft a letter to Congressman Carlos Moorhead expressing disappointment in the present reciprocal trade agreement between the United States and Japan. Councilman Gillanders advised that the 1950 agreement between the two countries stated that nei- ther country would hold any unusual restrictions; however, at this time Japan has barred approximately 9,000 American products from their country. This would indicate a great imbalance in the trade agreement. In view of the up- coming election, Councilman Gillanders was interested in knowing Congressman Moorhead's position and what he intends to do about the present trade situation with Japan. Council members agreed that Congressman Moorhead should be contacted. B. Mayor Atkins brought up Proposition J, the Jail Bond Meas- ure, advising that there might be some misunderstanding of the Proposition. Mayor Atkins explained that the funds under this Proposition are to be appropriated for improve- ments on existing jails in Los Angeles County and has nothing to do with proposed new jails. He felt it was important to mention since newspapers have not clarified this fact. 12.
