National Grain and Feed Association 



Before the 



Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities 



House Committee on Agriculture 



September 28, 1993 



Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, we appreciate this opportunity to 

 discuss the impact that naturally occurring mycotoxins, such as deoxynivalenol in wheat and 

 aflatoxin in com, have on the grain handling and marketing system. I am Kendell Keith, 

 President of the National Grain and Feed Association. I am accompanied by Randall C. 

 Gordon, NGFA's Vice President for Communications and Government Relations, and 

 Thomas C. O'Connor, NGFA's Director of Technical Services. 



The National Grain and Feed Association is the national nonprofit trade association 

 of more than 1,000 grain, feed and processing firms comprising 5,000 facilities that store, 

 handle, merchandise, mill, process and export more than two-thirds of all U.S. grains and 

 oilseeds utilized in domestic and export markets. 



Our members are committed to doing their part to ensure that American consumers 

 and our export customers are furnished with a wholesome and safe food supply.
