an abundant, reliable, inexpensive supply of highly 

 nutritious food and superior quality fibre for their own 

 countrymen. 



I would point out my concerns -- which I know many 

 of my Colleagues on the committee share -- that we 

 probably have not provided sufficient funding over the 

 past 15 years or so necessary to ensure continued 

 American dominance in the field of agricultural research, 

 research application, and technological advancement. We 

 must concentrate our resources in the future and do a 

 better job of allocating funding if we are to retain our 

 leadership and enjoy the economic benefits of better, more 

 productive, more varied agricultural production. 



Mr. Chairman, I don't want to get us too far off track 

 during this session, but I would be terribly negligent if I 

 didn't express one other area of prime concern for me ~ 

 and hopefully for a vast majority of our fellow committee
