Mr. ANFUSO. Thank you very much.

I wish to announce that tomorrow we will meet at 10 o'clock sharp and we will try to finish before 1 o'clock in case anyone may desire to go to the game.

I should like to take this opportunity now of thanking Commissioner Anthony Masciarelli for the splendid cooperation which he and the mayor of the city of New York have given to us.

(Whereupon at 4:30 p. m., the committee was adjourned, to reconvene at 10 a. m., Wednesday, October 9, 1957.)

FOOD MARKETING COSTS

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1957

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
SUBCOMMITTEE ON CONSUMERS STUDY

OF THE COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURE,
New York, N. Y.

The subcommittee met at 10 a. m., pursuant to recess, in room 220, United States Customs House, New York, N. Y., the Honorable Victor L. Anfuso (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.

Present: Representatives Anfuso, Cooley (chairman of the full committee), Grant, Knutson, Jennings, and McIntire.

Also present: Representative Keogh, and Francis LeMay and Walter W. Wilcox, staff consultants.

Mr. ANFUSO. This committee will come to order, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to try to finish these hearings, if at all possible, that is, today's hearings, before 1 o'clock.

This morning we are to discuss the subject of "trading stamps," which has been very much in the public eye throughout the country. We note that some States have passed legislation regarding trading stamps. We have received letters and documents from various sources both pro and con.

There are those who think that the trading stamps help to increase the cost of the food product; and there are those who state that it is merely an advertising matter, that the costs do not go up at all, but merely stimulate sales.

This committee intends to get the full story. We have already heard from members of the Department of Agriculture.

We did hear from some other witnesses in Washington, D. C. This morning we are to hear from representative individuals who will speak both pro and con.

The subject is so vast that, obviously, the committee will not make any determination at this time and will continue to hear further witnesses in Washington and receive additional testimony.

At this time I wish to offer for the record a statement of the National Federation of Independent Business.

[blocks in formation]

MY DEAR MR. ANFUSO: I greatly appreciated an invitation to appear before the committee holding hearings on trading-stamp plans, and regret very much that other commitments make it impossible.

It is my deep desire, however, to make the following statement, which I hope will be included in the record of any testimony you may compile.
