However, certain problems will continue, unless changed are made. The Conlmittee Print, “Prelude to Legislation to Solve-the Growing-Crisis in Rural Transportation,” contains two parts. The first, Transportation _in Rural. America, was prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (BRS), at the request of Congress. The ERS study cites flexible pricing of rail services as one way to prevent future crises.

But, analyses of conditions in the United States' and Canada reported in the Committee Print suggested that grain marketing costs could be reduced by sub stantial rail abandonment, consolidation of elevators, and multiple car shipments. Part 11, Meeting Rural Transportation Needs, was prepared by the National Area Development Institute (KY), under contract for the Library of Congreee at the request of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry. Bearing out findings of the ERS study. Part II focuses primarily on attempts to handle problems in rural transportation, through legislation. It fur ther provides insights into rural people’s major con cerns and the relationship between rural development and transportation needs.
