Nixon decided to keep the quotas due to vigorous political opposition
Time: 1969
Place: U.S.
Details: When Richard Nixon became president in 1969, he assigned George Shultz to head a committee to review the Eisenhower-era quota program. Shultz's committee recommended that the quotas be abolished and replaced with tariffs but Nixon decided to keep the quotas due to vigorous political opposition.
Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
