Surplus Cotton Release Opposed by Agriculture Dept
Assistant Secretary Marvin McLain told the Senate Agriculture Committee the Agriculture Department opposes a bill to release at least 750000 bales of CCC surplus cotton to textile mills for four years. He argued prices must ensure exports and warned it would be hard to administer and verify export of reduced price cotton. The department will rely on export equalization payments to eligible exporters and supports protecting the textile sector from raw cotton export programs. The American Farm Bureau Federation and National Cotton Council urged direct equalization payments to textile mills that spin cotton.
