Washington Update: Hurricane Relief US-PERU Trade Deal USDA WASDE January Report on US Sugar Supply and Use

摘要

We have spent the weeks since the beginning of the new calendar year aying the groundwork for another effort to develop an agricultural disaster package to address the hurricane losses. We have reached out to other farm groups, Members of Congress from outside the hurricane disaster zones and officials within the Administration to seek support for a disaster package in early 2006. The most logical vehicle for such a package would be the next supplemental appropriations request from the Administration, which is expected in February or March.
