Washington Report
Congressman Charlie Rose
(WASHINGTON, DC.) -- The
tobacco hearings that we held in
Lumberton and Florence the 19th and
20th of November gave us information
that we were able to put to very good
use this week in the Congress. Several
days ago I made public a statement that
the Department of Agriculture was
seriously considering a ten percent
increase in the 1974 flue-cured tobacco
allotments. 1 said in that announcement
that I was completely against this and
that 1 had asked the Secretary of
Agriculture to make no announcement
on any change in the 1974 flue-cured
tobacco allotments until he had a
chance to listen to the Tobacco
Subcommittee of our Committee on
Agriculture.
This morning in the Agriculture
Committee room, Secretary of
Agriculture Earl Butz, Under Secretary
of Agriculture Phil Campbell, ASCS
Administrator Ken Frick, and Tobacco
Advisor Bill Lanier met the entire
Tobacco Subcommittee.
Because of the information that six
j members of tRiic Sub-committee
?? received in LumbertTJTi and Florence
( during our ten hours of public hearings,
J we were able to tell the Secretary and
: his staff firsthand that a ten percent
; increase in the 1974 flue-cured tobacco
; allotments would be disastrous.
; We told the Secretary that he was
? hearing only the arguments of (he
; tobacco companies. We told the
\ Secretary that we felt it would be a
'? tragic blow to the entire tobacco
; business if the 1974 crop is increased by
j ten percent.

of Raeford
expected to get ten percent more curing
oil in 1974? Where will tobacco farmers
be expected to get more labor in 1974?
And cannot farmers expect a decrease in
price in 1974 if a ten percent tobacco
crop increase is allowed?
The main point that we tried to make 1
to the Secretary was this: It is apparent
to the Members of the Tobacco
Subcommittee, as a result of our
hearings in Lumberton and Florence,
that the major problem in our tobacco
program right now is the incapacity of
some companies to redry the tobacco
which they have purchased. We pointed
out to the Secretary that tobacco
companies at one time could handle 100
million pounds of tobacco a week in
their redrying facilities and now this
capacity has gone down to some 75
million pounds of tobacco. One major
tobacco company had large orders for
overseas shipment of tobacco this year.
This company wants to do its own
redrying of tobacco that it purchases
and it simply does not now have the
facilities to handle leaf as fast as some
other companies.
When one tobacco company has
clogged up redrying facilities it calls for
a sales holiday.
The Secretary promised us that he
would have an informal meeting with
tobacco company officials within the
very near future and discuss with them
the problem of clogged redrying
facilities.
We told the Secretary in no uncertain
terms that if ten perccnt more tobacco
was thrown into the flue-cured tobacco
market system with no increase or
change in redrying plant facilities that a
chaotic situation much worse than 1973
would be created. We told the Secretary
that this would no doubt result in lower
prices being paid to farmers on the
warehouse floor which is certainly one
of the results that tobacco companies
are looking for.
I wish that I could tell you right now
that the Secretary agreed to halt any
discussions about an increase in the
1974 tobacco allotments, but he did
not. He did tell us that this was one of
the best conference that lie had ever had
with any subcommittee'on Capitol Hill
and that he felt like he had clearly heard
the farmer' and warehousemen's side of
this problem.
Every Member of the Tobacco
Subcommittee was present for this
conference with the Secretary. We
started our meeting at 9:30 in the
morning and met until 11:30. I
sincerely hope and pray that our
Secretary of Agriculture is not so
committed to the interests of the large
tobacco companies in this country that
he cannot hear the side of the marketing
of the warehousemen and the tobacco
farmers.
I sincerely appreciate the great
turnout we had in Lumberton for our
tobacco hearings. The information that
was gathered there in Florence gave
those of us that are vitally concerned
about flue-cured tobacco, pertinent
up-to-date information that we could
give directly to the Secretary. He was
impressed by the fact that wc weren't
just talking about our position from
something one or two tobacco farmers
had told us. He was impressed by the
fact that we had held ten hours of
public hearings and had based our
opposition to an allotment increase on
these very current and timely meetings.
