The farmers’ dairy prices have already been reduced $1.50 a hundred since December 1983 and further reductions are authorized under the newly enacted 1985 Farm Bill. United also urges that careful consideration be given to voting an oil import tax at an early date to alleviate the over-all budget deficit and reduce our serious trade deficit problem at the same time.

Profits of the oil companies are at exorbitant levels while dairy farmers are enduring very large price reductions and serious financial hardship.
