Abstract: This hearing is another phase of the committee's efforts to study this year's disasterous drought and its impact on various segments of our economy. This document focuses on the impact of the drought on consumers. As taxpayers, consumers have financed the drought relief bill and the committee is attempting to prevent any unnatural price rises in food that would again hit the consumer. Testimony is received from U.S. General Accounting Office officials, a state agriculture dept. represent, a private social advocacy organization, an industry representative, and four research specialists from the Congressional Research Service.
