SEc. 305. (a) The Congress finds and declares that-

(1) the competing credit demands by State and local govern- ments, agriculture, business, and consumers, aggravated by massive Federal debt financing and increasing credit demands by foreign governments, continue to cause serious economic disruption in rural America;

(2) the United States has a vital interest in protecting the economic health of American farmers;

(3) the American farmer has been caught in an unprecedented credit squeeze;

(4) monetary and fiscal policies have substantially caused real interest rates to remain at two or three times historic levels of such rates;

(5) high real interest rates have dramatically increased the value of the dollar to the detriment of farmers who devote at

least one out of three acres of land

to

production for export;

(6) the average value of an acre of farm land fell this year for the third year in a row, the longest sustained decline since the Great Depression;

(7) the total amount of debt owed by American farmers ^is

$203,800,000,000;

(8) last year Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Venezuela held

$260,000,000,000 in external debt and the interest payments on these loans alone totaled more than $20,000,000,000;

(9) the Governments of Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Ven- ezuela have been successful in securing postponements in debt

and principal repayments, favorable renegotiations, new loan guarantees, and other special arrangements through private

negotiations, assistance from the United States Government, and the International Monetary Fund; and

(10) American farmers have been unsuccessful in obtaining as favorable special treatment from private banks or the Federal Government .

(b) It is therefore the sense of the Congress that-

(1) the President, in cooperation with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, should exercise appropriate authority to assure that an adequate flow of credit be available
