AMENDMENT OF FOREIGN ASSIST-
ANCE ACT OF 1961?AMENDMENT
(AMENDMENT NO. 1272)
Mr. PEARSON. Mr. President, on be-
half of myself, the Senator from North
Dakota [Mr. YOUNG], and the Senator
from Wyoming [Mr. SfmrsoN] , I submit
an amendment to House bill 11380, the
foreign aid authorization bill, to increase
the amount of domestic beet sugar and
mainland cane sugar authorized for mar-
keting during 1964, and the years 1965,
1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969.
I submit this amendment, Mr. Presi-
dent, because it has 'become quite ob-
vious that the administration does not
plan to propose any new sugar legislation
for congressional consideration this year.
In the absence- of congressional ap-
proval of new sugar legislation, the cur-
rent sugar global quota system will ex-
pire? December 31. This leaves the as-
signment of foreign sugar allocations en-
tirely within the discretion of the Sec-
retary of Agriculture. I submit, Mr.
President, that such a situation would be
chaotic. It would leave our beet sugar
and mainland cane growers dangling on
a rope with a half -tied hangman's noose.
It has been implied that the inability
of cane sugar refiners to strike a com-
promise with mainland sugar growers has
resulted in the lack of enthusiasm to sub-
mit new legislation. No public hearings
have been scheduled or held so that the
? refiners and mainland growers could tell
their story publicly.
It is indeed strange that we should
forgo a clarification of our world and
domestic sugar policy, that we should
condemn the producers to a period of
chaos, because of an intraindustry fight
and without at least a reasonable con-
gressional effort to resolve it.
The administration has permitted a
state of confusion to develop in the
hope that come compromise on a cutback
of mainland sugar acreage could be
reached which would satisfy the import-
ers and refiners. Last week industry dis-
cussions reached an impasse when our
mainland growers understandably re-
fused to accept a 20-percent reduction
in their marketing quota as demanded.
Since when has the legislative process
been required to await a compromise on
the part of conflicting sugar interests to
define our national policy?
Since 1962 our mainland sugar growers
have filled their quota to supply sugar
required by the Nation. This production
was increased at the request of our Gov-
ernment -which feared a world sugar
shortage because of crop failures among
many of our foreign suppliers.
Now that the sugar market supply has
been stabilized, the administration is
ready to acquiesce to a domestic cutback,
to return to the bosoms of foreign sup-

pliers, and to leave domestic producers
dangling in midair. Nearly 40 percent
of our annual sugar supply comes from
foreign countries, many of which trade
with Eastern-bloc nations in direct oppo-
sition to U.S. trade policies, and, in many
instances, have records of unstable gov-
ernments. Without increases in domes-
tic sugar marketing quotas, the adminis-
tration would again leave this Nation in
the precarious position of trusting for-
eign sugar sources when domestic pro-
ducers have a background of reliability.
The administration would again under-
mine an expanding and profitable aspect
of agriculture when many other parts of
our agricultural economy are on the
decline.
I propose this amendment also to
focus attention on the necessity for new
processing plants required to process the
domestically grown sugar. Unless some
stabilization of marketing quotas is pro-
vided by new sugar legislation, financing
for new plants will be nonexistent. You
simply do not arrange for capital invest-
ment in a $20 million processing plant
with uncertain acreage and marketing
quotas extending only a few months
ahead of present crops.
Mr. President, I introduce my amend-
ment with full knowledge that the in-
creased marketing quotas called for must-
come from the global quota. The hour
is far too late to once again return to
an unreliable foreign supply when do-
mestic agriculture can serve a larger
proportion of our needs. I believe it is
completely unreasonable to cut the
ground out from under responsive do-
mestic producers for the benefit of for-
eign producers who have failed to meet
their responsibilities.
I am not suggesting, Mr. President,
that we entirely disregard our friends
in foreign countries for the sake of do-
mestic sugar production. Rather, I am
insisting that we attempt to bring our
domestic agricultural situation back into
balance.
My amendment is not designed to rob
"-Peter to pay Paul. Rather, it was de-
veloped to accent the need for a revision
in our present national sugar policy. We
cannot continue to rely on old programs
with new coats of paint to perpetuate
a propped-up phase of our agricultural
economy when this portion of it, if given
half a chance, can become self-sufficient.
Mr. President, I ask that the amend-
ment be held at the desk for a days for
additional cosponsors.
The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tern-
pore. The amendment will be received,
printed, and lie on the table; and, with-
out objection, the amendment will be
held at the desk for additional cospon-
sors, as requested by the Senator froM
Kansas.

WOMEN PIONEERS IN SOUTHERN
RHODESIA
Mr. BAYH. Mr. President, recently
the Christian Science Monitor carried a
moving story about the pioneering spirit
of women of pouth Africa who were
in the United States participating in an
11-week community service program
sponsored by the Women's Africa Com-
mittee of the African-American In-
stitute.
During their visit to Washington this
group talked with Deputy Assistant
Secretary of State Katie Louchheim,
who has done so much to help the cause
of women throughout the world.
This account of their achievements is
most inspiring and encouraging. I ask
unanimous consent that it be printed in
the RECORD as a tribute to these coura-
geous people and the fine work by Sec-
retary Louchheim.
There being no objection, the article
was ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
NEW AFRICA: WOMEN 'PIONEERS
(By Josephine Ripley)
They came filing quietly, almost shyly,
into the office of Deputy Assistant Secretary,
21353
of State Katie Louchheim in the State De-
partment.
They were a long, long way from home,
these women from Africa?from Northern
and Southern Rhodesia.
Most of them ,were teachers. Two were
nurses. One described herself as a "busi-
nesswoman." \ Another was wife of, a chief.
All in Western dress.
They seated themselves in chairs -around
the room. Present also were several women
with high-ranking jobs in the American
Government, and two newspaperwomen. The
purpose, a brief exchange of views and ex-
periences.
I looked at them with awe?these women
pioneers in the new Africa. Women who
faced an enormous task. "So few of us,"
they said, "to do so much?to teach other
women and to teach our children."
The informal conference was bright with
vivid word pictures,' as each of the visitors
told of her work.
One woman from Southern Rhodesia said
her school had trained 400 teachers.
"There Was one woman," she said, "who
walked a great distance to come to our
school. She had to cross a river. Some-
times it was waist deep. She came with her
clothing all wet.
"And after school, she returned home to
take care of her children."-
A teacher of young children explained:
"Some of our pupils walk 6 or 7 miles to
school. They have to start so early they
come without breakfast.
"No; we have nothing to give them to eat.
But we let them out early, by 11 o'clock, so
they can go home and be fed."
Another told of her work in adult educa-
tion. "So many women do not know how
to read or write. If they wish to write to
their husband who works in the city they
have to find someone to do it for them.
"This matter of communication is a real
one," she explained. "For there, many of
the men have jobs in the city but their fami-
lies remain in the countryside."
It takes about 3 months to teach a woman
to read and write, by means of a special,
simplified American system.
Classes are held at the YWCA. Some of
the women taught there in their spare time,
they said.
They often teach very elementary
things?cleanliness, neatness, "how to dress
up and make themselves pretty. We show
they how to cut out a dress; how to use a
sewing machine."
An attractive young woman, with a lively
expression described herself as a broadcaster.
She makes recordings, in two native lan-
guages. They are directed to the woman in
the home.
"I tell them how to take care of their chil-
dren. How to teach them cleanliness. How
to make a dress. How to cook simple, nu-
tritious meals.
"These are broadcast daily. Where there
Is no radio in the home, the women congre-
gate in some hall, or a home, where there is
one."
The "businesswoman," too, was very young.
She had a store 17 miles out of town. "I
sell soft goods and food," she said. "Soft
goods" meaning dry goods, clothing.
"At first, I brought my goods to town by
bicycle. Later I bought a secondhand car
and learned how to drive. In 3 weeks," she
added with a smile of achievement.
This was in 1954. Now she has two stores
and two cars. "Yes," she said, "I am the
only woman in my part of Africa -in this
business."
It was another world they had brought with
them. A world of emerging nations. North-
ern Rhodesia will become an independent
nation in October. It will be known as
Zambia.
