May monthly sales list. The April list of commodities is unchanged from the
March list. Dairy products, which were removed from the list on March 8, are again

Monthly Sales List. CCC may limit sales quantities. Nonstorable commodities will
be sold at not less than the market price. Sales are not confined to delivery
positions that may be cited in commodity offerings. Minimum prices for other

adequate information of financial responsibility of the offerer to meet contract
obligations of the type contemplated in this announcement. Interest at 10 percent
will be charged for delinquent payments on all sales.

and for this purpose shall maintain a bona fide business office in the United States,
its territories or possessions and have a person, principal, or resident agent upon
whom service or judicial process may be had.
Buyers are responsible for obtaining any required U.S. Government export permit
or license. Purchase from CCC shall not constitute any assurance that any permit or
license will be granted by the issuing authority.
Exports to certain countries are regulated by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
These restrictions also apply to any commodities purchased from the Commodity Credit
Corporation whether sold for restricted or unrestricted use. Countries and
