House panel orders study of ag research program
The House Agriculture Committee ordered a study to find out why the federal agricultural research and marketing act program has been neglected. Chairman Harold D. Cooley announced a subcommittee led by Rep. Stephen Pace to examine the four year effort promoting new uses for agricultural products and marketing procedures. The $19 million per year program began in 1946 with an intended rise to $38 million annually, and this marks the committee’s first detailed look at operation and administration under the act.
