Bob Packwood. June 23. 1977 Senator Bob Packwood U.S. Senate Washington. D.C. Dear Mr. Packwood: I have appreciated your replies to my previous letters regarding the U.S. sugar situation. 1 feel that you are interested in our problems. From the tone of your letters 1 also believe that we can expect you to support rea sonable measures to correct these problems. During the past few weeks 1 have received many comp liments on the letter I wrote to you and published in the paper. Farmers and towns people alike have voiced their approval of my views. I have also received a number of comments on your letter to the editor of the Gate City Journal. This letter appeared in print on June 16th. You said at that time that 1 had failed to report the "Many other reasons” for your opposition to legislation involving quotas. I didn't mention these other reasons because at that time you had not yet mentioned them to me. In fact your idea of countervailing duties has not been mentioned in any of your letters to me; only in the one from you to the editor. As you know, the economy of Eastern Oregon is very much dependent upon a healthy Agriculture. If far mers suffer, everybody here suffers. I believe that this will also be true for the country as a whole in the long-run. Agriculture is still the back bone of America’s strength and we cannot allow this segment of our society to droop and still expect the national economy to hum along unaffected. The idea of an interna tional Agreement on sugar sounds good and would probably be a preferred approach over enactment of a U.S. sugar program if it could be done in a way that would be fair to all countries involved. This seems to me to be a remote possibility for the near future however. Since the Geneva meeting has ended without an agreement let's get on with a program for our own that will assure a viable sugar industry in this country. We can adapt to the intemationl agreement when and if it comes into being. We don't have time to wait on the international treaty process. We're faced with immediate disaster. Our sugar program should be designed to assure our consumers ar. adequate sup ply of sugar at reasonable prices. It must also provide growers and processors an opportunity to realize a rea sonable profit. It seems to me that in order to accomplish these objec tives a system of quotas will have to be set up. Each foreign country which has the ability to supply us with sugar and which desires to do so should be assigned a portion of our requirements and made to agree to supply that quota - no more, no less. Those countries which fail to supply the agreed quantity would be penalized by losing their quota, or a portion of it. Domestic sugar companies could be treated much the same as foreign suppliers in the matter of assigning quotas.

McCollum will represent Eastern Oregon in decisions regarding federally funded programs. _ a policy of low prices. If we continue to have the low prices we're faced with now and are forced to make a poor initial payment to our gro wers this fall we might as well forget about a 1978 crop. 1 hope you can understand the urgency of the situation. To emphasize the point further let me tell you this. We have already lost our borderline growers. We've also lost some good, efficient ones. This yeaf the only ones growing beets are the "dyed- in-the-wool" growers who have been with us through good and bad times. They planted beets on faith. They thought, with men in key positions who have agricul ture backgrounds, that their needs would be recognized. They felt that some sound decisions would be made and that things would begin to look brighter again. Senator Packwood, you are in. a position to influence the decisions that must be made. We who live in Eastern Oregon are counting on you to help bring stability back into the sugar industry. Thank you once again for your past letters. I will be looking forward to hearing from you again. Sincerely yours, Larry Hatch company could be assigned a portion of the total supply to be marketed by them and penalties for failure to meet quotas could be meted out. Each supplier would be responsible for making the necessary arrangements with producers to grow the crop needed to meet the quota. Government involvement in acreage allotments would be unnecessary. Setting up a system of countervailing duties, as you propose, is a possibility, but it raises questions in my mind that 1 would like you to explain. If I understand you cor rectly. what you are propos ing is that we impose a duty on coutnries which sell sugar to the U.S. This duty would be equal to the subsidy which that country pays its growers to produce sugar. In other words, say the country of Timbuktu pays its farmers a subsidy of 2 cents per pound to grow sugar. Then when sugar comes from Timbuktu Copies to: to the U.S. a duty of 2 cents Sec. Bergland would be charged the country Pres. Carter of Timbuktu for each pound Gate City Journal of sugar it shipped to us. This procedure would eliminate an undue incentive for foreign Editor.

Now let us take a long look at a community where there is no nursing home, and for the moment believe you yourself ailing and with no one conditioned to give you your needs for survival even though you have ample means to pay for them. It can happen, you know and does. Keep the thought you no longer are in control of your body. Where could you go? The nursing home is the only answer to this very real problem. Years ago we had none. In Salem we had a "Poor Farm”. It was on the River Road. 1 have seen it. Too bad most of you have not. It was not pretty. Try to visualize it and then thank God for a nursing home. If you have cared suffi ciently to read this letter this far I ask you. make a friend of our nursing home. Learn how your tax money is being spent. Encourage the staff and do not be timid in suggestions to Jim Mattes. He is there with one thought only, to promote the best welfare of the patient and the hospital. If this letter reaches through to one person it will be time well used.
