The government had promised to find alternative employment and to retrain these workers but had been forced to admit it could not do this because government has failed to operate the auto agreement to the benefit of the workers and the consumers," Mr. Burt declared.

The 1,300,000 - member con- gress also criticized the 1967 increase in auto prices as un- just and inflationary in the light of the production savings made possible by the agreement. It urged the government to establish a "workable and gen- uine program of adjustment as- sistance" for auto workers laid off because of plant adjustments to new production lines.
