—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 8,1977 14 Jimmy Carter says he can almost guarantee that American agriculture will be solidly represented at world food fairs in upcoming years. That has not been the case thus far. The President says he wants to expand such promotional programs, thereby giving American farmers the opportunity to market more of their products in foreign lands. Carter (Continued from Page 1) siderations as to why Americans should favor the Carter Administrations treaty regarding the Panama Canal. Noting that a fifth on this country’s agricultural aborts move through the Canal, Wyrough said he does not see any danger of American agribusiness losing this waterway. The treaties, he affirmed, give assurance of that. The group of editors, however, was reluctant to buy that and asked for proof or guarantees. That prompted Wyrough's con cluding statement - “It is not practical to look for cer tainties.” Speaking about the latest developments at OSHA - that much maligned agency which concerns itself with health and safety on the farm, as well as in industry and elsewhere - Harrison Wellford reported that the Administration is placing greater emphasis on major health hazards and less on small safety concerns. Wellford, who works as executive associate director for reorganization and management in the Office of Management and Budget, also said that government reorganization will continue to take shape. It’s feasible that some agricultural agencies will be merged in the future, although that’s not yet definite. One of the questions which was on the farm editors’ minds was whether or not the U S State Department is getting a larger role in agriculture. Katz answered that question with the words “No, it hasn’t changed a bit ” It was noted,however, that two of six speakers (not including President Carter and USDA Secretary Bergland) were from the State Department. Two more were from the Office of Management and Budget, while the others had connections with During an early afternoon meeting with President Carter, the farm editors 130 MODELS 12 TO 48 FOOT DIAMETER BINS r j c " s&r s * * -» “* ■*•>'</« w Afe Full Line Parts Dept.

He expressed strong willingness to give American agriculture more exposure, world-wide. Talking to the editors just a day after he signed the 1977 Farm Bill, the President expressed general satisfaction with the measure. “I didn’t have any reluctance about signing he stated. The President commented that he didn’t think his support among American farm families was varying much, adding: “I do think that the new legislation I have helped to provide will be an indication that the farm families can trust me, not only to understand their problems but to carry out my campaign com mitments.” Adding a little humor to the half-hour meeting, the President at one point remarked: “When I wasn’t m office, I used to cuss the President and Secretary of Agriculture when my crop was poor. And when it was good, of course I didn’t give the President and the Secretary of Agriculture any credit for it. I figured it was because of me.” “I don’t think any of our polling results indicate that I have lost support in the Farm Belt. The farmers are disturbed, and I am disturbed as well.
