## Summary

**Rules-based trade policy** and learning from the Smoot-Hawley Tariff's harms are the resolution's central message. The measure would mark the 95th anniversary of the Tariff Act of 1930, find that the Act was a significant contributor to the Great Depression, and affirm support for trade policies that lower costs for farmers, manufacturers, and construction firms, expand export markets, and give U.S. consumers more affordable goods. It would be purely ceremonial and non-binding.
