 Addresses, Statements, and Remarks by the Secretary, Earl L. Butz, 1973Earl L. Butz and Office of the Secretary No 369066, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture Abstract: Excerpts from Address by Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz before the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Rome, Italy, November 15, 1975: Since the enactment of PL 480 in 1954, the United States has provided more than $25 billion in food aid under that program. It has also contributed nearly half of the total pledges under the World Food Program since 1962. Through its support of international financial agencies such as the World Bank, as well as through its own aid programs, the United States has played a leading role in providing developing countries with the resources necessary to enable them to grow more for their domestic needs and to compete in the commercial market for food. The United States recognizes the need for special assistance to developing countries in implementing food reserve policies. We are prepared to work with the FAO and other international organizations to provide such assistance when requested. We will continue to provide research assistance on ways to prevent loss in handling and storing farm crops under different climatic and economic conditions. And we will continue to train technicians.
