On the recordJune 12, 1996
the price fixing that is going on has been going on in this program, as we know, since the 1930s when we created this program. The reason for this amendment is because the Secretary has chosen to use the other provision of the law, the quota provision, by reducing that below the level of consumption. The result is a dramatic increase in the price, the actual domestic price consumers pay for peanuts. I would be happy, if the gentleman would agree to an amendment, to do away with this entire program in one fell swoop.
