The committee met, pursuant to call, at 10 a. m., Hon. Clarence F. Lea (chairman) presiding. The CHAIRMAN. The committee will please come to order. We have met this morning for a hearing on H. R. 7002, introduced by Mr. Patman, of Texas. (The bill referred to, H. R. 7002, is as follows:) [H. R. 7002, 77th Cong., 2d sess.] A BILL To increase agricultural purchasing power and to meet the need of combating malnutrition among the people of low income by defining and making certain a reasonable definition and standard for nonfat dry milk solids Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That for the purposes of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of June 26, 1938 (ch. 675, sec. 1, 52 Stat. 1040), dry milk solids or defatted milk solids is the product resulting from the removal of fat and water from milk, and contains the lactose, milk proteins, and milk minerals in the same relative proportions as in the fresh milk from which made. It contains not over 5 per centum moisture. The fat content is not over 11⁄2 per centum unless otherwise indicated. The term "milk," when used herein, means sweet milk of cows. The CHAIRMAN. Mr. Patman, we will be glad to hear from you. STATEMENT OF HON. WRIGHT PATMAN, A REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS Mr. PATMAN. Mr. Chairman, we appreciate very much the opportunity of presenting our views on this bill. We have a number of witnesses here who are experts on this subject. The arrangements have been made whereby we will use only about 1 hour's time, I believe, not including the questioning period. Mr. Bryan Blalock, who is from my district, Marshall, Tex., and who is the owner and operator of a dairy farm himself and is the head of one of the largest dairy production companies in that section of the country, the Southwest, is here, and I would like to ask that he have charge of the introduction of the witnesses in the order that he would like for them to appear. The CHAIRMAN. That will be satisfactory. Mr. PATMAN. Suppose, Mr. Blalock, in starting off, you bring those containers around and let us get our definitions straight as to what we are talking about. I presume that that will meet with the approval of the committee. 1 |
