Thus this legislation would address the regulation of buses farm equipment and all other commercial vehicles above 10000 gross vehicle weight. In the course of these hearings the committee will be particularly interested in analyzing the adequacy of the Federal regulation of the commercial motor vehicles and what if anything is necessary in order to strengthen these programs. The committee is also concerned about how Federal programs interact with State regulation of commercial motor vehicles and whether this relationship is operating smoothly and effectively. As part of this overall examination the committee will seek to determine whether the funding and manpower allocated to these programs is adequate to carry out these important functions. The committee will also focus on how priorities are set in the regulation of commercial vehicles and what method of initiating investigations of improper behavior in this area would be most effective. n examining these issues the committee is fortunate to be receiving testimony today from an extremely wide spectrum of witnesses drawn from the Federal Government State agencies private trucking organizations farm representatives and private experts.

From Wikipedia: "Food marketing brings together the producer and the consumer. It is the chain of activities that brings food from farm gate to plate. The marketing of even a single food product can be a complicated process involving many producers and companies. For example fifty-six companies are involved in making one can of chicken noodle soup. These businesses include not only chicken and vegetable processors but also the companies that transport the ingredients and those who print labels and manufacture cans. The food marketing system is the largest direct and indirect nongovernment employer in the United States. There are three historical phases of food marketing: the fragmentation phase before 1870 1880 the unification phase 1880 1950 and the segmentation phase 1950 and later. In the fragmentation phase the United States was divided into numerous geographic fragments because transporting food was expensive leaving most production distribution and selling locally based. In the unification phase distribution was made possible by railroads coordination of sales forces was made possible by the telegraph and telephone and product consistency was made possible by advances in manufacturing. This new distribution system was led by meat processors such as Armour and Swift in midwestern cities and by companies such as Heinz Quaker Oats Campbell Soup and Coca-Cola which sold their brands nationally. Advertising in print media and direct marketing through demonstrations at stores and public venues were among the prime marketing tools. The initial Crisco campaign in 1911 was an example. In the segmentation phase 1950 and later radio television and internet advertising made it possible for a wider range of competing products to focus on different benefits and images and thus appeal to different demographic and psychographic markets. Distribution via the new national road system strengthened national brands." U. S. Government Printing Office paperback
