Abstract: Excerpts from the report Preface: There has been a continuous demand for a publication presenting a review of shipments under U.S. food aid programs for the period since the initiation of Public Law 83-480, the Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended. This publication presents a statistical summary of shipments under programs authorized by P.L. 480 and Mutual Security (AID) programs for 12 fiscal years, 1955 through 1966. Exports are reported by commodity, value, and quantity, for each year of the 12-year period. They are also reported by commodities grouped by individual years. The value of exports by country is shown for each year and for the 12-year period. Exports under credit sales programs -- the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) export credit sales program and Export-Import Bank loans and guarantees -- are reported by commodity and by country. The extent of export payment assistance to commercial sales for dollars is briefly summarized. The text reviews the evolution of P.L. 480 programs through the most recent amendment, P.L. 89-808, effective January 1, 1967. Individual programs are summarized and some of the principal achievements noted.
