                        THE IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY

  Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, one other item which I would like to 
point out relative to Vermont and other areas of the country is the 
importance of dairy.
  I did not realize it until I struggled home last Sunday night and 
went to the convenience store. I found they had adequate food. However, 
the dairy case had but one quart of milk left. When I arrived again the 
next morning, it had been replenished, and there was only one gallon of 
milk left.
  I point that out as to how important obviously in our lives dairy is; 
the dairy industry.
  So keep that in mind as we go along and take up the dairy program 
later this year.
