Summary
Expresses the sense of the Congress that the delay in the enforcement of a Smoot Hawley Tariff Act provision, which prohibits importation of goods mined or produced wholly or in part in any foreign country by convict, forced, or indentured labor under penal sanctions, is unacceptable to the Congress.
