NOTICE TO THE PRESS
The President has signed H.R. 6485 - Tobacco marketing quotas.
This bill discourages the production of types of tobacco which are not
under price support and acreage or poundage quota programs from being
grown in areas where tobacco farmers have ch osen to comply with these
programs.
Under existing law, tobacco producers vote periodically on whether
marketing quotas should be established or maintained for eight distinct
types of tobacco. Marketing quotas are generally designed to limit
tobacco production and are presently in effect for all tobacco types
except for the Maryland and cigar-filler varieties.
Under H. R. 6485, any kind of tobacco not subject to marketing quotas
that is produced in an area where a quota type of tobacco is traditionally
produced will be subject to quotas if the Secretary of Agriculture deter-
mines that the nonquota tobacco has any of the distinguishable character-
istics of the quota tobacco. If several types of tobacco have marketing
quotas in effect in an area, any nonquota tobacco produced in the area
would be subject to quotas for the type of tobacco traditionally produced
in the area having the highest price support.
