Fertilizer deal with USSR sparks Capitol debate
Rep. Wright Patman cites a $180 million Export-Import Bank loan for a Soviet fertilizer complex that would trigger $400 million in U.S. equipment and services sales. The plan would fund American shipbuilding and phosphate mining, creating up to 3,000 construction jobs and 2,900 permanent posts, while meeting growing world food needs. If the U.S. deal falters, the USSR could pursue similar terms with France or Britain.
