Description
In this letter, Congressmen W. R. Poage and Robert J. Dole and Senator Jack Miller describe their trip to India and urge the Secretary of Agriculture to consider a donation of 1.8 million tons of grain to India. They argue that the donation should be based on emergency drought relief; the donation should be distributed free to needy persons; and the announcement should express the hope of the U.S. that the U.S.S.R. and other countries would join the relief effort.
