Secretary of Agriculture Brannan telephoned the Secretary
about the wheat agreement figure. He rehearsed what had
happened in their endeavor at arriving at a satisfactory figure.
He said he had discussed the matter with the President and
the farm leaders in Congress and was hopeful that they could
agree on $1.80.
Brannan said that since the Secretary had very kindly conducted
this part of the discussions with Sir Oliver Franks, he wondered
if the Secretary would give the Ambassador a ring and see what
he could do. The Secretary said he would do this but that the
Ambassador had been pretty clear that he couldn't go beyond
$1.75.
The Secretary telephoned the Ambassador and said that
Brannan had talked with the President and with the farm leaders
on the Hill and could not get them to agree on $1.75, but he could
get their support for $1.80. The Secretary asked the Ambassador
if he would have another try with this figure.
The Ambassador said he would see what he could do.
