AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 
Mr. WiLLiamMs. You would rather have a veto than to have legis- 
lation would you? 
Mr. CLAGUE. Not exactly that, no. 
Mr. mains, That is what it means. 
r. CLaGUE. Let it be acted upon and if i 
we will do the next best thing. P © ean not become law 
Mr. Apxkins. That is what Mr. Williams meant when he spoke 
about several members having talked to him. 
Mr. WirLiamMs. No; I mean just what I said, that Members of the 
Minnesota House delegation—I am not going to put names in the 
record—a number of them have stated to me that they were in favor 
of reporting this bill without the equalization fee. That has been 
their position up to within the last three or four days—that has been 
the position of a number of the members of the House delegation. 
I do not include Mr. Kvale and Mr. Selvig in that. 
Mr. KvaLe. I think names ought to be specified, particularly 
because some of these gentlemen have always stood for the McNary- 
Haugen bill with the equalization fee. 
Mr. WirLiams. That is what I said, that some of the House 
Members from Minnesota have always considered that the equaliza- 
tion fee ought to be in the bill. 
Mr. FurLow. I have never requested any member of this commit- 
tee to report out the bill without the equalization fee, and I want 
the record to show that I am in favor of the bill with the equalization 
fee. That has been my stand ever since I have been in Congress. 
Mr. Maas. I wish to state that I not only have never requested 
any member of this committee to report out the bill without the 
equalization fee but that I have repeatedly urged that the bill be 
brought out with the equalization fee included. This has been my 
stand, without change, since I have been a Member of Congress. 
Mr. Loomis. I am appearing here as secretary of the National 
Dairy Union to ask the committee to fix the date at the earliest 
possible moment when we may have a brief hearing on H. R. 10598. 
We wish to present a very brief amendment that has been agreed 
to by the dairy interests of the United States. It will not take us 
over half an hour. 
The CHARMAN. We have a number of special orders. We could 
not take your proposition up until we get through with the special 
orders. 
Mr. Looumrs. Very well, if you will take it up when you get through 
with your special orders.
