Plain-English summary
This resolution observes the 95th anniversary of the enactment of the Tariff Act of 1930 (also known as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act) and expresses the view that this act was a significant contributor to the Great Depression. (The act raised U.S. tariffs to their highest levels since 1828 and was the last tariff act in which Congress set rates.)
