Wheat Deal Sparks Subsidy Debate Between Kennedy and Halleck
President Kennedy says the Soviet wheat sale is not a subsidy for the USSR, while House Republican Charles Halleck argues otherwise. The plan to sell $250 million or more of U S wheat to the Soviets and satellites includes an export subsidy paid in kind, reducing federal costs by about 255 million over two years. The debate centers on whether two subsidies exist: one to support domestic prices and another to aid exporters, with Kennedy asserting farmers benefit from the high price regardless of end use.
