House ag. committee approves
nat’L food marketing commission
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
House Agriculture Com
mittee has approved
legislation (H.R. 11998) to
establish a temporary
national food marketing
commission.
Action on the measure,
known as the Vigorito bill,
came on a 19 to 10 vote. It, in
effect, reversed an earlier
decision by the Agriculture
Committee to conduct its
own study of food costs,
pricing and marketing.
The biQ provides for a $2.5
million appropriation to
conduct an 18-month study of
food marketing. The study
would be conducted by a 15-
member national com
mission consisting of five
Senate members, five House
members, and five public
members appointed by the
President.
Study would cover anti
competitive elements in the
food industry, pricing, im
pact of labor practices and
various laws on food costs,
and the effect of packaging
and transportation on food
costs and availability.
The commission would be
veiy similar in make-up and
scope to the National
Commission on Food
Marketing which functioned
during 1964-65.
“We are strongly sup
porting this legislation
because we feel it would
result in a balanced and
objective study of food
pricing and competition,”
said Kenneth D. Naden,
president, National Council
of Farmer Cooperatives.
Naden said the Vigorito
bill was preferable to the
Mezvinsky bill (H.R. 9182),
which also provides for a
food commission study.
However, the latter bill
would also require the
Federal Trade Commission
and Justice Department to
make annual reports on
antitrust enforcement and
competition in the food in
dustry.

production in the Com
monwealth was again on the

May 15, according to the
Pennsylvania Crop
Reporting Service.
Placements of broiler chicks
were 1,713,000, an increase of
26 per cent over the same
week last year and five
percent over the previous
week.
