Hills presses EC to allow full market access
WASHINGTON (AP) — Meat industry officials who
met with U.S. Trade Representative Carla Hills said
Wednesday they are reassured she will press for full ac
cess to European markets when she discusses a trade
dispute over hormone-treated beef with European
Community leaders.
Hills did not indicate, however, whether she supports
efforts by Texas Agriculture Commissioner Jim High
tower to sell hormone-free beef to the EC, according to
officials of organizations represented at Tuesday’s
meeting.
The European Economic Community has banned
imports of beef treated with artificial hormones, con
tending the growth stimulants are a health threat. The
U.S. claims Europe is using the hormone issue as an ex
cuse to restrain trade and retaliated against the loss of a
$100 million export market by setting higher tariffs on
about $100 million in Common Market goods.
The EC has warned it will slap tough tariffs on
American walnuts and dried fruits if no progress is
made by Monday to end the dispute.
Richard Pasco, director of legislative affairs for the
National Pork Producers Council, said Hills will “try to
come up with creative solutions for a very complex
problem.”
Pasco, who attended the meeting, said a wide range
of issues was discussed and is optimistic “thing)
going our way.”
Hightower’s proposal, meanwhile, “is notai
deal,” American Farm Bureau Federation spoktsp,
Don Lipton, said.
John Datt, executive director of the Washington
lice of the Farm Bureau Federation, was at the metis
The nation’s largest farm organization, the Farm|
reau has been opposed to Hightower’s plans,saj
they undercut the U.S. position.
Lipton said Hills did not indicate definitively bn
would move on the Hightower proposal. The US,|
partment of Agriculture is reviewing Hightower’sj
posal that a certification procedure be developedlo®
tify cattle for European export were never
artificial growth hormones.
“It’s our position that it’s a matter of the admin®)
tion talking with the Europeans to decide who win
down Hightower,” Lipton said.
Tom Cook, director of industry affairs forthtS;
tional Cattlemen’s Association, was at the meetingt
said the five organizations represented told Hillsi
didn’t approve of Hightower’s “demagoguing"ttt
sue. They also said they disapproved of thewayHi
tower was dealing directly with the Europeans,rati
than through U.S. officials, Cook said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Con
sumer activist Ralph Nader called on
President Bush and Congress
Wednesday to force rich people,
stock traders and corporations,
rather than average taxpayers, to
pay for the savings and loan crisis.
“If the bankers and the bu
reaucrats think they’re going to re
solve this massive savings and loan
crime on the backs of tens of millions
of ordinary U.S. taxpayers as part of
their little inner-Washington club
deliberation, they’re wrong,” Nader
declared at a news conference.
Bush last week announced a pro
posal to spend $200 billion over the
next 30 years — about half of it from
general tax revenues — to sell or
close 350 insolvent institutions and
meet government commitments
made last year in the rescue of an
other 205 S&Ls.
Nader, in a 23-page “Report to
U.S. Taxpayers on the Savings and
Loan Crisis,” acknowledged that im
posing a major share of the cleanup
cost on healthy S&Ls could drive
some institutions toward insolvency.
But, he said, using general tax reve
nue for S&Ls would squeeze vital
government programs such as edu
cation and housing.
He offered four tax increase pro
posals, each of which would raise
about $10 billion a year, enough to
pay the interest on bonds the gov
ernment would sell to raise the
money to resolve the crisis. They
are:
• Boosting the marginal income
tax rate for the nation’s wealthiest
taxpayers — childless couples with
taxable income higher than
$149,250 a year, for instance —from
28 percent to 33 percent.
• Levying a 0.5 percent tax on
stock sales, which totaled $2.3 tril
lion in 1987.
• Raising corporate taxes, esti
mated at $107 billion this year, by 10
percent.
• A combination of higher de
posit insurance premiums and new
excise taxes on mutual funds, junk
bonds, leveraged buyout deals and
mortgages for luxury homes.
The Consumer Bankers Associa
tion, a trade group representing
about 900 banks and S&Ls, rejected
Nader’s proposal, calling it a “mas
sive social engineering which will be
so burdensome as to prevent the
S&L industry from ever recovering.”
The bankers said Bush’s plan res
cues depositors, not S&L owners.
Nader said any increase in deposit
insurance premiums paid by banks
and S&Ls should be accompanied by
measures restricting institutions’
from passing on the higher cost to
their smallest customers.
Jonathan Brown of the Nader
group BankWatch argued for I he
restructuring of the 12 regional Fed
eral Home Loan Banks, which are
chartered by the federal govern
ment but owned by the S&L indus
try.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Bush’s proposed cuts in farm
subsidies have the potential for trig
gering a crisis among the nation’s
farm lenders, the chairman of the
House Agriculture Committee pre
dicts as he squares off with the ad
ministration over the 1990 budget.
Rep. Kika de la Garza said he
fears a $1.9 billion cut in farm pro
grams would directly affect farmers’
cash flow and make it harder for
them to repay their loans, jeopardiz
ing the health of the Farm Credit
System, the Farmers Home Admin
istration, and small, independent
farm banks.
Meanwhile, a blue ribbon panel —
the National Commission on Agri
cultural Finance — is scheduled to
release its findings next week on the
quality and availability of farm credit
after at least two years of study.
De la Garza complains Bush’s
budget would cut farm supports by
about 10 percent, compared with
cuts to other agencies of 3 percent or
4 percent.
But the savings could end up as
expenses if there are failures among
farm lenders.
“Is it worth it to maybe trigger this
potential crisis for the sake of reduc
ing for the budget, beyond what
would be our obligation in relation
to all the other departments,” de la
Garza said.
The Texas Democrat said Con
gress cannot risk such dangers in the
“delicately balanced” farm economy,
two years after a politically difficult
bailout of the Farm Credit System
and changes in the FmHA allowing
farmers to restructure their loans in
an effort to keep more afloat.
“We have a major sector of agri
culture walking oq egg shells, and
any slight movement can make a
crack in the egg shell,” de la Garza
said.
But Frank W. Naylor Jr., a Re
publican and former chairman of
the board of the Farm Credit Ad
ministration under President Rea
gan, says Bush’s proposed cuts
should not have a substantial impact,
if any, on the Farm Credit System
used to regulate.
The Farm Credit System, aw
eratively owned network of bail
and lending institutions,
about one-third of the agricub
loans nationally.
Naylor, who now runs a diveis
fied financial services company
small rural banks, said hedoesni
lieve the cuts would jeopardize fait
ers’ ability to repay their loans,
the current and projected strenjJ
for exports and other market indie
tors.
Similar concerns about the staid
the farm economy are voiced eve
year when the president unveilsb
budget and seeks to cut agricultffl
Naylor said.
Indeed, Naylor said he would
surprised if de la Garza did noltal
such a strong position in support
agriculture “the first step outofd
box” in budget negotiations with!
administration.
