AMSTUTZ SAYS FARM TRADE ACCORD POSSIBLE IN 1988 U.S. Agriculture undersecretary Daniel Amstutz said it is possible to reach a global agreement to scale-back agricultural supports in calendar 1988. Speaking to a Senate Agriculture Appropriations committee hearing, Amstutz said "I think we can reach agreement in calendar 1988." Amstutz said the U.S. places a high priority on the Uruguay round of global trade talks. His comments followed a statement by Secretary of State George Shultz last week urging agriculture be the highest priority item during the upcoming summit of western heads of state in Venice, Italy.
