Carter’s move came last week in retaliation to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. “As a farmer, businessman and veteran, I wish to commend you for the action you have taken in response to the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan,” Cawley wrote in a letter to the President. He said while the decision to embargo 17 million metric tons of livestock feed gram to Russia will have an “Carlaiers,” a choral group composed of wives of ser vices men stationed at the Carlisle Barracks. V Md. Agriculture Secretary approves Carter’s embargo economic impact on all Americans, there are times when money must become a secondary consideration. “As a gram farmer, I am heartened by your an nouncement that fanners alone will not have to bear the brunt of this economic loss, but that this commodity will be utilized in productive U.S. efforts to ease the energy crisis,” he said. Cawley was commenting on additional restnctions imposed on the Russians limiting their unport of high technology items and restricting fishing nghts. Speaking as a businessman, Cawley said he applauded Carter’s decision to honor the original contract for sale of eight million metric tons of gram to Russia. “Terms of that contract should be honored as negotiated,” he told the President. “As a veteran, I heartily agree with your reasoning that retaliation is necessary now and in such form as to make USSR officials realize then- aggression will not go unopposed. “Officially, I speak only for the Maryland Depart ment of Agriculture and myself, and I recognize your immediate liaison with the agricultural community is USDA Secretary Robert Bergland,” Cawley said. However, he added, if he or the Maryland Department of Agriculture could be of any assistance in helping the President with the embargo on a local level, he would be willing to hear the President’s desires.
