For this, he said, the Nation owes American agriculture a very great debt. He cited the fact that the area of the American economy that has had the greatest growth in productivity is American Ag riculture , and said this has not been adequately reflected in agricultural income. This report on the President singling out American agricul ture for high praise was sup plied by Alvin Pate,Chairman of the County Agricultural Sta bilization and Conservation (A SC) Committee. Pate said, "I believe not only farmers but others as well will be particu - larly interested in these com ments by the President. We who help administer farm pro grams for the U.S. Department of Agriculture have often re - minded our urban friends that Americans are the best fed peo ple in the world at the lowest real cost because of the effi ciency of American agricul - ture. It is heartening to have the President state this and other basic facts about agri - culture." In his remarks, President Nixon referred to the new Com mission on Productivity, with a membership of top leaders representing American indus try, labor, the academic com munity, and agriculture, say ing that "a very significant point was made not only in the first meeting, but in the se cond and third. On every oc casion, it was this: That that area of the American economy that has had the greatest growth in productivity and that has the highest productivity per man hour, any way you want to rate it, is American agricul ture. " Upon hearing this fact, the President said he checked fur ther and found that "we are the best fed people, but at the lowest cost, the lowest percen tage of our income, of any country in the world. And for that, we are most grateful." This fact, he said, "mean that the Nation owes Ameri- Spaghetti with meat sauce,tossed green salad, toasted cheese sand wiches, chipped apple cobbler and milk.

Mr. Nixon continued, " I am not happy about the fact that agricultural income has not been at the rates that it should have been over the past few years. I think the farmer deserves a fair share of the Na tion's increasing wealth and its increasing productivity, due to the fact that American ag riculture is so productive." At the same time,Mr. Nix on said, "We have problems of hunger in this country, and there are problems of hunger in all countries, rich around the world. "But the problems of hun ger in this country are ,in toms of magnitude, nothing com pared to what the problems are in countries that simply do not have the enormous productivi ty that we have. "And so, as we look around the world and as we think of the future of the world and what is going to happen, we realize how much American agriculture can contribute. " The President said he referred not only to export markets, but to "The knowledge that we are able to share with other people which may make a dif ference in these next 10, 15, 25 years, a difference as to whether millions of people all over the world will grow up without enough to eat at all, or whether they may have a better chance than they would otherwise have to survive." In the course of his remarks President Nixon hadhigi praise for Secretary of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin, saying that "when I appointed him, I wanted a man who would speak for the farmers and for Ameri can agriculture to the White Home rather than the other way around. He has done that Beneath that very pleasant and disarming exterior of his is a very strong and persuasive and determined mind. And in these matters that come before us and the high decisions whidh must be made at the White House with the legislative lea ders, in the Cabinet, on the budget and other matters, I can assure you that ar culttae has a very strong adv. te."
