United States waiting
for Soviet grain reply
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Un
ited States is still waiting for a
response from the Soviet Union
on President Reagan’s month-
old offer to negotiate a long
term grain agreement, Agricul
ture Secretary John Block said
Tuesday.
Block said the problem may
more more Soviet bureaucracy
than a deliberate stall.
“We are waiting for a re
sponse on our offer — the presi
dent’s offer — to the Soviet Un
ion to negotiate a new long term
agreement,” he said in a radio
interview with farm editors and
broadcasters. “We have not
heard anything as yet.”
Asked if there will be any in
formation before a Soviet de
legation arrives in this country
next month. Block said, “I
would expect to have some re
sponse before then.”
“I’m really not that con
cerned,” he said. “It proves one
of two things — either they are
not in a hurry to negotiate an
LTA (long term agreement) or
their bureacracy is worse than
ours and I would probably
assume the latter.”
Block said there have been
discussions with some groups
about matters such as including
soybean meal in a long term
agreement, but indicated it was a
preliminary step.
“I’m going to keep some of
those options open right now
and try to avoid addressing de
tails of the LTA until at least we
have an indication that there is a
desire to negotiate one,” Block
added.
During the program. Block
also said:
— Farm loan rates in 1984 will
be set at the 1982 levels.
— The 1984 wheat program
probably will include a payment-
in-kind provision, with more
specifics expected to be
announced at the beginning of
June.
— He is “very optimistic”
Congress will support a freeze
on target prices.
Block said the 1984 loan rate
“is news that we should all be
aware of.”

Just two minutes from the
university, we’re building a
new neighborhood for Texas
A&M students, their parents
and alumni. It’s called Mill
Creek and it’s priced in the
$40s. In University Park, one of
the area’s newest subdivisions,
Mill Creek is close enough to
the campus for anyone to walk
or bike. Mill Creek is nestled
next to woods and a College
Station park, convenient to a
major thoroughfares, yet just
away from the hustle and
bustle of the main campus.
Mill Creek was planned for
busy student life. In every
home, we’ve included ameni
ties to make student life easier
and to keep your Mill Creek
home a valuable investment.
But, we’ve remembered to
keep living at Mill Creek a lot of
fun. Lofts in every home.
Skylights or clerestory win
dows let in lots of light. Cathe
dral ceilings, spacious living/
dining areas and plenty of
storage space. Outside, you’ll
enjoy the pool and barbecue
