The AFPC produced 22 reports
for the 1996 Farm Bill and did ap-
iproximately 40 studies. Knutson
I said most of the analysis was
I aimed at narrowing the scope of
]policy options being consiciered
I by the agriculture committee.
Dr. Barry Flinchbaugh, a coun-
fselor of the Farm Bill, said Texas
A&M played an important role in
I the formation of the bill.
it can accurately be said that
[never in the history of farm bills
has data and policy analysis had
such a significant impact than oc
curred with the 1996 Farm Bill,’'
be said. “At the front of the line
j was the representative farm
I analysis from the Texas A&M
Agricultural and Food Policy Cen
ter.”
The AFPC received the Out
standing Policy Contribution Award
by the American Agriculture Eco
nomics Association in 1997 as a re
sult of its farm bill efforts.
As part of its teaching pro
gram, the AFPC started the Texas
A&M Agriculture and Resource
Policy Congressional Internship
Program. Interns are selected by
congressional constituent com
mittees to provide agricultural
policy expertise and assistance to
Texas congressional offices.
The internship program,
which is for students in the Col
lege of Agriculture and Life Sci
ences, is housed in the office of
the dean. The AFPC assists in the
selection of interns and helps in
the briefing process before the in
ternship begins.
“This is the most successful
university congressional intern
ship program in the country,”
Knutson said. “This is because
our interns actually work on
analysis and on the resolution of
food policy options in Congress.”
Joe Benningfield, a junior agri
cultural development major, was
a congressional intern last spring.
FJe said the AFPC was instrumen
tal in preparing interns for their
work in Congress.
“As an intern in Washington,
the Ag and Food Policy Center
was an invaluable resource,” he
said. “Their expertise and knowl
edge proved beneficial to me in
researching various policy op
tions for the Congressman.”

Rob Cabaniss, first sergeant of
Company C-2 and a junior busi
ness major, said the marching
techniques can help the teen-agers
with their behaviors.
“We could see definite improve
ments when we left and I think they
appreciated it,” he said. “It helps
give students discipline toward get
ting to where they can follow in
structions and concentrate on what
they are doing.”
The facility, which opened in
February 1997, houses 286 inmates
but can accomodate 680 teen-agers.
Marching techniques and physical
training demonstrations will be at
an open house for the school Oct. 10
at 10:30 a.m.
