USDA DISCUSSING PL 480 AGREEMENT WITH MOROCCO
The U.S. Agriculture Department is
currently discussing an amendment to a PL 480 agreement signed
with Morocco on January 22, but the mix of commodities under
the amendment has not been determined, a U.S. Agriculture
Department official said.
    The official noted the agreement signed in January provided
for the supply of about 55,000 tonnes of vegetable oil, 55,000
tonnes of corn and 126,000 tonnes of wheat, all for delivery
during the current fiscal year, ending this September 30.
    No purchase authorizations for the commodities provided in
the January agreement have been announced by the department.
