Wheat earmarked for food reserve
Sorroinrv of Aerinilturp
Rnh Rrriilnnrf rernnllv snid
four million tnn: nf whffll

Crodit rorporation will ho
used to ronslitnlp the nation's
first food security reserve
"With this action, we have
realized a goal set bv the
Carter Administration to
create a reserve which should
help guarantee that this
countrv will be able to meet its
priority food aid commit
ments to developing nations.
It will help to ensure that the
United States is a dependable
supplier nf food aid even in
years of short supplv." Berg
lnnd said
legislation to create such a
reserve was introduced in
1T7ft-. hnwevpr. it was not until
last December that authoriz
ing legislation was passed by
the Congress and signed bv
the President.
"Wheat from this reserve
will be used only for food aid
and then, onlv when the
domestic supplv nf wheat is so
limited that sufficient quant
ities of wheat cannot be made
available for disposition under
P.I. 4Ki programs." Rerglnnd
said "This insulates the
security reserve from the
marketplace and prevents the
stored when' from depressing
commercial grain prices when
supplies are more readilv
available." '
The United States has been
a major source of food aid to
developing countries during
the past 2r vears. During that
time, the United States has
provided more than $27 billion
worth nf commodities to help
meet food needs of these
countries
Between 10.7:? and 1975. when
world grain supplies were in
short supplv. the United States
cut back on its food assistance
to meet commercial demands
jnf when the need for food aid
was nhnormallv large. The
food security reserve will help
permit this nation to maintain
food assistance programs
when supplies are short.
Bcrel.ind said
"Maintaining a regular
level nf fod aid is also
important to the economic
woll-hoing of IT S. agricultural
producers and the economies
of both the United Slates and
recipient countries." Berg
land said "We know from
past experience that manv
nations that have received
significant quantities nf food
aid have become major com
mercial customers of U.S.
agricultural products,"
The CCC has already ac
quired the four million tons of
wheat comprising the reserve
as a result of direct purchases
from producers and assump
tion of contracts cancelled by
the suspension of sales to the
Soviet Union A small portion
of the reserve -:i(K).000 tons
can be used under Title II
provisions without regard to
domestic supply availabilities
to meet urgent humanitarian
relief in developing countries
suffering a major disaster.
From the other side
(Editor's note: The following letter, a periodic feature of
the Gazette-Times, was written by Janet McElligott, a
former lone woman who Is studying at the University of
Portland at Salzburg, Austria. McElligott was one of only 38
people In the U.S. chosen to participate In the overseas study
program. An lone High School graduate, she Is the daughter
of Jerry and Maryan McElligott, lone.)
Several days before Easter my girlfriend, Lenora, wrote,
"Why do you want to go to Rome Sunday? You never
received a reply from the letter you wrote and do you really
think that two girls from America are going to even get a
glimpse of the Pope? Be realistic."
Why be realistic? It had never been my motto before this
time and most likely "realistic" is not a word I often apply, at
least to myself. I seem to opt more for chance and
"unrealistic" goals. The things that have happened to me
this year haven't been ordinary.
During Christmas time I bumped Into Natalie Tews (who's
schooling in Norway this year) at the Munich train station,
totally by chance. In February Lenora and I somehow
finagled two tickets to the most prestigious European social
event, the Vienna Opera Ball, and found ourselves being
nterviewed for a Texan newspaper. Later that night, while
exploring the opera house, I wandered into the center box
and was invited to stay. So why should seeing the Pope on
Easter Sunday pose great obstacles?
I don't know how many of you remember Deacon Joe - he
was ordained in St. Patrick's sometime laBt summer. When
he learned I was going overseas he Introduced me to a fellow
seminarian who had grown up next door to Paul Marcinkus,
who is now a bishop living in Rome.
In October I wrote to Bishop Marcinkus and asked If it
would be possible to attend an audience with the Pope. I
received a Jovial note saying. "Let me know a couple days in
advance and I'll arrange It for you." He also mentioned that
audiences are held on Wednesday so that since I was In
school, logically the best thing to do would be to come in May
when school got out.
It struck me in Theology class, about the first week of
April. Easter weekend, which was a four -day weekend, was
three weeks away and I had no plans. Where would any good
Catholic, only 20 hours away from Rome, want to be on the
most important religious holiday? BftO Austrian schillings
(seven cents to a schilling) away. So I wrote another letter.
I didn't receive a reply; Italian mail is famous for it's
speed, until Good Friday, two days before the great Sunday.
We'd all but abandoned going. It was on Thursday that
Leonora had written the note. When the letter came we
hopped on our bikes, made a mad dash tc the post, called
Rome and made sure our tickets were being held by the Swiss
guards. From there it was about a block to the bank for lire
(Italian currency) and enough money for a train ticket.
Our train was to leave at 7:15 p.m. that night but due to the
rearrangement of the Salzburg Bahnhof (train station) we
missed our train and had to play "catch-up". It was a wonder
we even reached Rome.
We arrived in Rome Saturday afternoon. (We'd hopped off
the train for a few hours of shopping in Florence at the
open-market.) The sun was shining and the birds chirpping.
Worn out from the long ride we'd decided on an early night
and slept.
Our tickets read, "Scala" which means "steps". The altar
was placed outside of St. Peter's Cathederal facing the open
square with chairs on both sides for, I assumed, visiting
dignitaries. According to my assumption (presummed it was
correct) I was a visiting dignitary. 1 sat four chairs in from
the right hand side of the altar. To my left three chairs sat
two Polish priests, one who spoke English and I conversed
with. The other was rumored to be the Pope's brother. (I'm
not sure if he even has a brother . ) At any rate we seemed to
be in the heart of the Polish section. It was only later that I
dwelled on the reason I was where I was - decided It must
have been my IQ. The Polish aren't said to have much there
either.
The Mass was beautiful and the Pope was so close I had to
focus my camera. Not quite what I had expected but I
couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Father Joe! I owe it all
to you!
