Abstract: Excerpts from Address by Secretary of Agriculture, Earl L. Butz, before the Correspondent Bank Conference, Chicago, Illinois, November 25, 1974: I came away from the conference with an even greater understanding of the problems we face as world citizens. One of the biggest is what we call food security. How do we provide food security--the security to know that we can feed ourselves at satisfactory levels of nutrition. Maintaining food security within our own country has been a major national policy in America and has been implemented through a policy of abundant production and through our Food Stamp and School Lunch programs for citizens with low purchasing power. The way we have maintained food security at home, and a principal way we can help bring it to our sister nations abroad, is by producing more food.
