Mr. President. under the current quota system. there are some countries with sugar quotas despite the fact that they produce less sugar then they consume. or none at all. This means such countries buy world sugar at 4 or 5 cents and then transship it to the United States. Mr. President. there is good reason to believe that at least one of these countries is buying sugar produced in Cuba and transshipping to the United States. Mr. President. I dont believe that American citizens want the sugar program to support Fidel Castros sugar industry. This amendment would effectively stop this transshipment of Cuban sugar and give the resulting excess quota to the Philippines.
