the U.S. must tell the Soviets
that they’re going to pay the
highest price possible for
invading Afghanistan short
of a military confrontation.
“The U.S. can’t stand idly
by and allow 25 million tons
of our gram to go to anybody
who is guilty of such
flagrant, blatant
aggression,” the Senator
said. “It would, in effect, be
rewarding them.”
Bumpers said the
President and Congress
must assure American
farmers that the 17 million
tons of embargoed gram the
U.S. government is going to
buy will be isolated.'
“And the Chicago Board of
Trade and other traders
must recognize that the
gram is not now, or ever,
gomg to be available to
them,” he added.
“It might be well to tell
farmers that they will never
receive less than the
January 4 closing market
price of about $6.25 for
soybeans and $2.80 for
com,” Bumpers declared.
“They have to have that
assurance if we’re gomg to
keep their faith.”

Afghanistan. He told the
cooperative leaders that
there are no options
available to the United
States that are cost-free.
The Soviet expert said that
the U.S. embargo of grain
destined for the USSR was
absolutely necessary. “It
focuses on the fact that
agriculture is the soft un
derbelly of the Soviet
Union,” Dyess declared.
“The Soviets currently
have a shortfall of some 50
million tons of grain,” said
Dyess. “Our 17-million-ton
embargo is about half of the
amount they’ll import.
They’ll have to sell off
livestock. The Soviet people
will feel it, and they won’t
recover soon.”
Dyess quickly added
American farmers should
not have to pay for the
embargo decision m any
undue manner. Rather, he
noted, the costs should be
spread across the U.S.
economy.
The career foreign service
officer stated that the Ad
ministration’s goal on the
embargo is no loss in U.S.
farm income. “The Ad
ministration is sincere about
this goal,” he concluded,
“and I think they’ll do
everything they can to follow
through on it.”
