Ford meeting
He has been an outstanding
secretary of agriculture and has been
asked to stay." Butz will be staying on
for the near future, although it is not
yet known what his plans may be
after Jan. 20, 1977.
The grain inspection bill, which was
passed by a 52 to 18 vote in the
Senate on Monday, did not meet
Ford’s approval and he
unhesitatingly announced that he
would veto that measure if it comes
to his desk as it is now. He favors a
bill which-would leave greater control
with local and private interests.
The President expressed a similar
opinion on the question of grain
reserves, noting that each'country
should run its own program and that
in the case of the United States, The
matter should rest in private hands.
As for grain exports, Ford said he has
no intention of withholding foreign
sales, not even as a way to check food -
prices at' home. Present economic
formulas are very reasonable, -he
added.
On the question of using
President Ford indicated Tuesday he is satisfied
with Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz and that he
has been asked to stay in the administration. The
Secretary's plans after Jan. 20,1977 are uncertain,
however.

well in trying to convey the true dairy
industry story to the public. They and
individual dairymen who took time
out to attend the meetings to show
their concern did their part.
Dairymen and their cooperatives
have made their symposium a suc
cess. Now it's up to the media people
to print and broadcast the material.
And, as has been said before, “let’s
hope consumers will read it and not
forget it.”

agricultural products as “pawns" in
international diplomacy, Ford said he
had no intentions of such moves. In
short, farm exports were not to be
restricted as long as he is President
The issue of cooperatives being
investigated by the FTC and Justice
Department came up; but Ford
declined to give an opinion on that
subject since action on the matter is
still pending. To do so would mean
prejudgement of the matter, he ex
plained.
The President was also questioned
about labor union settlements, the
swine flu, forestry programs, and his
chances in the upcoming Texas
primary. He considered some labor
union contracts to be within
“marginal limits;" noted that the
vaccine for swine flu was
unanimously endorsed by his panel of
experts: and considered himself to
be an underdog in the Texas primary.
The 35-mmute visit ended just as
cordially as it began, with Ford ex
changing handshakes and brief
remarks with surrounding reporters.
