Excerpt from Agricultural Commodity Distribution Act of 1987: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Domestic Marketing, Consumer Relations, and Nutrition of the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, One Hundredth Congress, First Session on H. R. 1340, March 18, 1987 Mr. Panetta. Could I hear general comments from each of the agencies that have worked with the program? You have looked at the bill. What is your general reaction to the recommendations that are contained here? Mr. Braley. Mr. Chairman, the Food and Nutrition Service is comfortable with the provisions of the bill. Again, with one or two minor exceptions, that I think, Mr. Bode's official testimony high lights, we feel it is a very workable piece of legislation that will mesh nicely with the efforts we have all undertaken to bring about some improvements in this program so that it will be a viable pro gram for now and well into the future. Mr. Kimbrell. Yes, Mr. Chairman. The Agricultural Marketing Service, I think, is very appreciative of the bill. If there is anything that will improve the communication between the user agencies and our agency, we think it would be advantageous. We are very happy to see this bill which will focus on some of the problems in the communications scheme as well as the actual commodities. So, we do appreciate also the bill from that standpoint.
