Page 8 University Daily Kansan, August 25, 1983 Block to sign long-term grain deal between U.S. and the Soviet Union By United Press International MOSCOW — Agriculture Secretary John Block arrived in Moscow yesterday to sign a new five-year grain deal between the United States and the U.S. Union that he said marked a return to "normal" commercial relations. The agreement, which calls for a minimum purchase of 9 million metric tons of grain annually, is to be signed today. Block was met at the airport by First Deputy Agriculture Minister Nikola D. Pomorov after a flight from Vienna was delayed for one hour, 45 minutes. Block said at the airport that the trade agreement "can be of mutual benefit to both countries." He said, "I am convinced it will benefit the American farmers, but it should also be used by you to assure you will have some assurance and know what to expect. The agriculture secretary said the agreement also served as "concrete evidence that the United States and Canada are working together on issues of mutual interest." "This agreement marks a return to more normal agricultural commercial relations and that is what we have been seeking." Block is the first cabinet-level American official to visit the Soviet Union since President Yuri Andropov became leader last November. became leader last November In 1980, former President Jimmy Carter embargoed grain sales to the Soviet Union in retaliation for the invasion of Afghanistan. Until then, 76 percent of Soviet grain imports came from the United States. The embargo was lifted in April 1981 by President Reagan, but the United States has supplied only 20 percent of Soviet grain since then. Under the new five-year plan, the Soviets will be allowed to purchase up to 12 million tons, with a minimum of 9 million tons that must be imported. The new agreement is thought to be worth $7 billion annually. The first U.S.-Soviet grain agreement was signed in 1975 and provided for a minimum production of 6 million tons of rice, equivalent to 8 million tons of wheat and corn per year. By United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Tropical storm Barry aimed its 55-mph winds at the nation's space center yesterday and engineers rushed to batten down the space shuttle Challenger, scheduled to lift off next week. Forecasters gave the storm a 46 percent chance of slamming into the area around the Kennedy Space Center by 1 p.m. CDT today — leaving authorities no time to get the shuttle off the launch pad even if they wanted to. Kennedy Center expects storm "We are going to be riding it out on the pad," said space agency spokesman Jim Ball. He said the shuttle was designed to withstand winds of "up to 80 mph on the launch pad," he expected any more than 50-mph winds. Ball said it would take 30 hours to get the shuttle back into the Vehicle Assembly Building. At 5 p.m. CDT, yesterday, Barry was centered near latitude 28.2 north and longitude 78.0 west, or just 150 miles heading toward the coast at 10 mph "We're not pinpointing it exactly. It will cover a sizable area, but it will hit somewhere along the middle or upper half and hurricane forecaster Hal Gerrish. According to the National Weather Services's probability charts, the area most likely to bear the brunt of Tropical Storm Patricia is about 15 miles south of the space center. The storm, which had moved northwest along a path parallel to the Florida coast early yesterday, changed course and began moving westward at an airplane day afternoon, reports from an Air Force reconnaissance plane revealed. "This is not being compared to Alicia," Gerrish said. "It's an entirely different situation.
