The purposes of these changes are: To eliminate the potential for certain conflicts of interest; to keep the costs of the Public Law 480, title I program as low as possible; to insure that all persons seeking to participate in supplying and shipping commodities financed under Public Law 480, title I, receive fair and equitable treatment; and to reflect a reorganization of administrative functions within the Department of Agriculture.
