Ford move laid to international politics
The CIA told Congress that President Ford blocked a 300 million dollar Soviet corn and wheat purchase partly for international politics. CIA warned Soviet harvest may fail by 5 to 15 million tons, and future grain sales to the USSR were anticipated to resume, while pressuring Saudi oil revenues and UN food aid efforts.

Guidelines for grain export to meet buyers needs
Washington officials near completion of export sale guidelines to assure adequate but not excessive grain flow to traditional customers. The plan aims to help exporters negotiate with foreign buyers under a limited control system, prioritizing traditional customers and avoiding bulk country by country allocations. A related note recalls last weekend's aborted Soviet contracts under White House pressure and outlines prior approval thresholds for large sales. An additional item reports a brush fire near Colfax burning 116 acres with 130 firefighters expected to contain it by morning.
