It will be only a short time before we write permanent legislation on this subject." We have been trying to write permanent legislation for the past 4 or 5 years. and it has never been written. A joint resolution or a bill is received from the House of Representatives in the last 24 or 48 hours before expiration of the act. as this bill has been presented. and the Senate is told to take it. We are told. "You cannot possibly tinker with the quota system in 48 hours." As one who tinkered with the quota system and established it in 1948. in large measure. I say that it is not an insurmountable problem. All that we have tried to say in the bill is that when we get to the problem of distribution of quotas. we shall not overlook domestic areas which have the right and the desire to produce sugar and can produce sugar for the American market.
