"I think it's essential that we succeed if the public interest and the farmers are going to be protected."

"This looks like the best arrangement that we could make and seems to be in the public interest and is, I think, on the whole, satisfactory."

"To answer your question, both of these matters are before us."

"I think--it's my hope that these talks will continue, so that this, matter will be subjected to the most thorough scrutiny and examination, to see whether such an arrangement is possible."
