Brazilians At
A&M Studying
Ag Research
A team of four Brazilian agri
cultural officials is visiting Texas
A&M this week to study the
organization of research pro
grams and personnel require
ments.
All are leaders in Brazil’s Fed
eral Department of Agricultural
Research of the Ministry of Agri
culture.
They are Dr. Nahum Isaac
Klein, head of the training sec
tion; Dr. Mozart Teixeira Lib
eral, director of the crop sciences
division; Dr. Roberto Meirelles
de Miranda, director of the animal
science division; and Dr. Ed-
mundo Heidrich Sobrinho, direc
tor of the Regional Institute of
the South.
Miss Betty J. Bradley, escort
officer for the International Re
search Institute, is accompanying
the group.
The IRA, which is sponsoring
the Brazilians, is an affiliate of
the Rockefeller Foundation. IRA
is on contract with the U. S.
Agency for International De
velopment (AID) and is helping
Brazil’s Federal Department of
Agricultural Research in its ex
pansion program.
Texas A&M is one of four land-
grant institutions to be toured
by the Brazilians in their study
of agricultural universtiy organi
zation and research structures.
Pat Hall of the A&M Office
of International Programs said
Brazil’s Federal Department of
Agricultural Research is starting
an era of expansion and improve
ment. Government spending for
department activities is expected
to rise from the current $11
million to about $20 milion in
1973.
After touring Texas A&M fa
cilities and consulting with its
agricultural officials, the Bra
zilians will leave Friday to see
the Rice-Pasture Research and
Extension Center near Beaumont.
The group arrived in the United
States July 14 and will depart for
their home country Aug. 24.
