A 1970 Nixon speech criticized costly boards and commissions, yet the Federal Board of Tea Tasters costs taxpayers 117,250 dollars annually. The piece questions why it remains funded three years later while Pentagon programs and veteran services face similar scrutiny.

The declassified memo focuses on farm exports but highlights congressional clout dynamics and dairy farmers' organization.
