Speech #970008976

I would support expanding the embargo to include other commodities and products and high technology equipment so that farmers alone are not asked to sacrifice for our foreign policy. The maintenance of a farm system dominated by productive familysized units is and should be a basic goal of American agricultural policy. I have described several critical areas which I believe will shape the future of the family farm. The 97th Congress will have many opportunities to work with the American farmer in determining the best public policy for American agriculture. I intend to work closely with the farmers in my State in this endeavor. REFUGEES
