The block for extension of

These interests continued to
present uncertainties until

exports
legislation came to a “no
amendment” vote on the
House floor, Rumler said.
Earlier this year efforts
were put forth by HFA to
incorporate “cost and
freight” for breeding
livestock and ten-year credit
terms for breeding livestock
into the legislation.
In connection with those
provisions of the new Act
which specifically assist in
the establishment of an
international competitive
position for the sale and
export of breeding livestock,
Rumler gives full credit to
the cooperation shown
between the USDA, the
members of HFA “Group
Two-Fifty,” and Export
Coordinators who help,
justify the value of the new
provisions.
There are other provisions
in the Act which are con
sidered significant: 1)
establishment of some 25
Agricultural Trade Offices
located throughout the world
to supplement the activities
of the Agricultural Attaches;
2) upgrading a number of
Agricultural Attaches to the
title of Agricultural Coun
selor to balance their
counterparts from other
nations; and 3) upgrading of
