Editor's Note: The follow
ing is a copy of a letter from
Larry Hatch to Sen.
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. Each sugar

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

also lost some good, efficient

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,

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

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
