Butz Reveals Soviet Wheat Negotiations and U.S. Rules
Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz disclosed that the Soviet Union had been negotiating for as much as six million tons of wheat and corn before a 3.4 million ton sale was halted under White House pressure. Assistant Secretary Enders said Treasury chief Simon would set ground rules on U.S. grain exports to Moscow this year, while Butz described clashes between a price led economy and the Soviet state trading system. He noted White House action spurred by diplomatic overtones and praised a new export reporting policy requiring government approval for large contracts.
