Americans Upset Over Nixon Butter Sale to Britain
The Nixon administration pressed a surplus butter program to aid Britain drawing anger from American shoppers. About four million pounds owned by the Agriculture Department were sold to exporters at 50 cents a pound for Britain while U.S. prices run around 90 cents. Officials warn American sales cut into dairy farmer support and could worsen taxpayer costs. A draft letter defends the program as stabilizing farm income and ensuring ample dairy supplies, noting vast stockpiles and the charity use of some butter.
