NRF Tackles Port Security

The National Retail Federation (NRF) is urging the president and members of Congress to proceed carefully in implementing port security measures. The Washington, D.C.-based organization implored lawmakers to find “the balance between the need for security and the need for commerce.” The NRF said its members are interested in seeing that their global supply chains are not “exploited by terrorists” and that security rules can be enacted “with the least possible disruption to legitimate trade.”
