Atlantic City’s Municipal Council has adopted a resolution urging local businessmen to refrain from any cooperation with the Arab League boycott against Israel.
The resolution cited the Congressional amendment to the U.S. Export-Import Control law, and stated that the City Council was joining with the Secretary of Commerce in “urging and requesting all businessmen to refrain from taking any action, including the furnishing of information or signing of agreements, which has the effect of furthering or supporting restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by foreign countries against other foreign countries friendly to the United States.”
