Surplus Fish For
Food For Peace
Program OK’ed
Congressional action which could
have a far-reaching effect on the
economy of Alaska and every other
coastal state possessing a fishery
look place last week.
The Foreign Relations Commit
tee accepted the Bartlett amend
ment to the Foreign Aid Authoriza
tion bill which authorizes the sale
of surplus fish under the Food for
Peace program. In announcing this
action Senator Fulhright said, “The
Senate Committee wrote in an
amendment by Senator E. L. Bart
lett to include surplus fish among
the commodities which can be sold
abroad under the so-called P. L. 480
program for agricultural commodi
ties.’
The amendment has two provis
ions: the first would make avail
able immediately Commodity Cre
dit Corporation dollars to finance
up to twenty-year dollar loans at
low interest rates for the purchase
of fish by friendly foreign nations.
The second provision authorizes
the sale of surplus fish for foreign
currency. This part of the Food for
Peace program is by far the largest.
Under present appropriations, four
and one - half billion dollars have
been allocated for the sale of sur
plus agricultural commodities for
the calendar years of 1962, 1963
and 1964. This second provision of
