pledged his full assistance
and support to the effort
Congressman John D
Dingell, chairman of the
House Energy Committee,
said it was important for the
nation’s welfare to assure
that adequate supplies of
reasonably-priced energy by
available for the main
tenance of agricultural
operations
Dingell expressed concern
some major oil companies
are considering abandoning
markets, particularly those
in rural areas.
“We must be sure,” he
added, “that American
consumers will not be
confronted with product
shortages or exorbitantly
priced products ”
The Michigan represen
tative said he believes
Congress shouldn’t reopen
the Natural Gas Policy Act
this year to increase natural
gas prices He noted that
such action would increase
gas costs to all users, in
cluding agricultural users,
and would increase inflation
Dmgell also pointed out
the Iran-Iraq war showed
that the U S is dangerously
over-dependent on insecure
energy sources He said we
must minimize our depen
dence on insecure energy
supplies while seeking to
build international energy
relationships that are more
secure, stable, and
beneficial its participants
‘Creation of a sound
domestic energy policy is
crucial to this undertaking,”
he declared
The energy policy-maker
emphasized that, in striving
to solve our energy
problems, cooperatives and
the agricultural community
will be expected to par
ticipate in the national
debate which will forge U S.
energy policy
Short and long-term
economic prospects for the
United States were covered
by Hobart Rowen, business
editor for the “Washington
Post ”
Rowen said the short-term
outlook is unfavorable with
problems of high unem
ployment, massive budget
deficits, inflation continuing
at the 10 percent level,
higher wage scales, and
continuing high interest
rates The most worrisome
aspect, he said, was the
interrupted oil flow caused
by the Iran-Iraq war
Long-term prospects,
according to Rowen, are
OUARRrviLLI
Co-op meeting
equally forbidding with
continuing inflation and
energy problems taking
their toll.
Rowen noted President
elect Reagan has promised
to transfer economic
resources from the public to
private sector This will
depend to a great extent, he
said, on such key designees
as Domestic Affairs Ad
visor Martin Anderson,
Office of Management &
Budget Director David
Stockman; Treasurer
Secretary Donald Regan;
International Affairs Ad
visor Richard Allen, and
Defense Secretary Caspar
Weinberger.
The “Washington Post”
editor pointed out that no
chairman of the Council of
Economic Advisors has been
named, despite the state of
the economy This is leading,
he said, to speculation that
the office will be
downgraded with economic
advice coming from the
above five advisors
Rowen said that
President-elect Reagan will
also be concerned with
policies to be developed in
foreign affairs and trade. He
feels that free trade will be
emphasized, fending off
protectionist pressures
within the economy
Bottom line for the Reagan
Administration’s economic
plans at this point, said
Rowen, is a great sense of
optimism in the business
community
Congressman Tony Coelho
discussed political ex
perience gained during the
96th Congress from the
successful effort to limit
Federal Trade Commission
investigations of cooperative
marketing practices
“The muscle you flexed in
the last Congress can be
strengthened in successive
years," said Coelho, “and
vour concern with this has
my enthusiastic en
couragement ”
The Agriculture Com
mittee member said that if
farmer cooperatives feel the
American people can best be
served by a particular
government action, then it’s
their responsibility to make
that concern known to those
who govern
“In politics, silent people
have no influence," he
declared
Coelho also emphasized
the importance of making
political campaign con
tributions
