Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from High-Value Agricultural Exports and the Contribution to the Rural Economy
We also welcome the testimony of our witnesses from outside of Washington. They will obviously re?ect on their local experiences in developing and maintaining high-value export industries. Per haps you may also have suggestions for us for policies that Con gress can consider during debate on the 1995 farm bill.
If rural development and exporting in a very competitive world market are to become realities, we need a coordinated and focused effort on the part of the Government and the private sector. It is my hope that this mornings hearing will point us in that direction.
With that, I welcome all here this morning. We will begin with a panel from the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Bob Nash, Under Secretary for Small Community and Rural Development, is here as well as Chris Goldthwait, General Sales Manager and Associate Administrator for the Foreign Agricultural Service. We will start in whichever order you prefer. I assume that you have coordinated your thoughts and your testimony. I believe by the body language it means we start with Mr. Nash.
