Harris Wofford is the best friend Pennsylvania dairy farmers have in Washington. Dairy cows know it and so should you.
Harris went to bat to fight the highly flawed dairy provisions of the Uruguay Round GATT agreement which would put
thousands of our family farmers and milk cows in unemployment lines. He led the way in fighting to make GATT less
harmful to our nation’s dairy industry. Today, Harris Wofford continues to fight to prevent the New Zealand Dairy
Board, the OPEC of the international dairy market, from dominating the U.S. commodity dairy market.
Harris stood up for farmers two years ago when the threat of massive imports of Goya cheese and mushrooms
loomed. Harris Wofford saved countless jobs on family farms and in the many small businesses and rural
communities which depend on a healthy Pennsylvania farm economy for their bread and butter.
GATT Dairy Provisions: Harris Wofford worked with a united dairy industry to make GATT less harmful to farm
families. He was one of the principal movers behind the Dairy Export Enhancement Act of 1994 (DEEA), which
was a bipartisan measure supported unanimously by the House Agriculture Committee. However, most of the
DEEA provisions were killed by Rick Santorum’s House Ways and Means Committee!
Goya Cheese Imports: Again, Harris Wofford worked around the clock in Congress to kill a scheme to eliminate
the duty on Goya imports under the Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) program. Imported Goya is a
substitute for American Parmesan cheese. Unlimited, duty-free Goya imports would have undercut American
Parmesan cheese by 30 cents a pound, equal to more than $3 per hundredweight on farm milk prices.
Other Pennsylvania Congressional offices and dairy representatives tried to enlist Santorum’s assistance on
GATT dairy issues but were unsuccessful because of Santorum’s indifference to agricultural issues, particularly those
impacting Pennsylvania farm families. Does this sound like a man that cares about vour livelihood?
Contrast Santorum’s indifference to Wofford’s “Johnny on the Spot’’ attitude when it comes to taking care of dairy’s
concerns on international trade masters. Harris Wofford has assumed a unique role in the U.S. Senate when it comes
to protecting America’s and Pennsylvania’s dairy producers. Cows know all of this and now so do you.
