Sugar Law Extension Favored By Cooley
Rep. Harold D. Cooley said a slight cut in Cuba's sugar quota would let Castro blame the United States for Cuba's economic woes. He favors a straight one year extension of the Sugar Law and opposes flexible authority to cut Cuba's quota. The act expires Dec. 31 and Cuba earns about 150 million dollars a year from U S sugar sales. Cooley plans talks with administration officials on legislation this year.
