Brazil rejects effort to cut coffee prices
Brazil's top coffee official Camillo Calazani told the International Coffee Organization that price cuts to boost consumption are rejected. He argued high prices reflect underproduction by other nations for 15 years and noted Brazil would have under supplied world markets otherwise. He cited stocks of 65 million bags in 1985, dwindling to 1.2 million bags by Aug 31, and recalled frost-era production dynamics.

Reprieve for B1 work cited by House committee
The House Appropriations Committee rejected President Carter’s demand to deny 63 million for the B1 bomber and voted to fund five planes halting only the two already funded. Rockwell says the action could avert massive layoffs and allow construction of the fifth and sixth B1s, with potential hiring to support the two planes. Congressional opponents warn the measure may offer a temporary toehold for resurrection.
