Nixon lifts wheat import quotas for five months
President Nixon suspended the annual 800 000 bushel wheat import quota from Saturday through June 30 to stabilize prices. Officials say shortages are unlikely before the 1974 harvest but regional dislocations could occur and larger Canadian imports may help. The move aims to avoid embargoes on exports while keeping the U S a major supplier.
