EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D. Typed Letter Signed, as President, to
`Representative Clifford R. Hope, suggesting that certain farm bill provisions under discus-
sion by the House Agriculture Committee be dropped. 2 pages, 4to, White House
stationery, written on separate sheets; horizontal fold. (TFC)
Washington, 12 August 1954

“
. . . [D]ecisions to be reached . . . on the farm bill will very seriously affect the well-being of
our farming population. . . .
“
I refer, first, to the support level on dairy products.To me, it is inescapable that an increase in
this level would be injurious . . . to the dairy industry, for it would diminish the consumption of
dairy products, increase the accumulation of surplus stocks, and add . . . to the cost of this program
to the public.This would also result in excessive windfall profits to the handlers of diary products. . . .
“
The two-price plan for wheat is another item . . . . [T]he National Agricultural Advisory
Commission recommended against the adoption of the two-price plan. . . .
“
Another item of concern is the bill . . . relating to management of forest lands used for grazing
purposes.The Senate provision is fair to all users of the national forests and a forward step in
the management of forest lands. . . .
. . . The House provision would limit the duration of this Act to two years and require the
Secretary to maintain about the same level of support for mohair as for shorn wool. . . .[B]oth
of these provisions are clearly at variance with the objectives . . .
“
[R]estricting the Secretary’s authority to limit the number of terms which a county committeeman
may serve . . . would undo progress toward broader farmer participation in committee activities . . . .”
