I would have proposed adding: And the President shall take such additional measures as may be necessary to prevent the commodities disposed of under this section from being sold or resold in black market operations. As I indicated last night. I am in sympathy with the objective of making food surpluses available to the refugees from Communist China. I have vivid memories of being in Kunming in 1945. during World War II. when Nationalist China was our ally. and when former Representative from Michigan Albert Engel went to the black market in Kunming and there found jeeps and tires of U.S. origin and manufacture being sold in the black market of Kunming. As he ran down the matter and reported it to our subcommittee at the time. it developed that one of the principal operators in the black market was either the brotherinlaw or soninlaw of the then Governor of Yunnan Province.
