Bob Dole:
The Day of Bread Resolution would establish October 28th as the 1969 Day of Bread and the last week of October as a harvest festival in the United States. The bill calls on Americans to join similar observances in many foreign countries honoring wheat and wheat products, including the largest wheat product: bread. This occasion would lend support and encouragement to our entire domestic wheat industry, probably man's oldest crop, which comprises the most widespread agricultural occupation in the United States.

It is within the international perspective, however, that the total significance of wheat and its products become more apparent. Wheat provides more nourishment for more people throughout the world than any other food. It serves almost a billion people as a staple in 43 countries. Wheat, and specifically bread, has become especially important in the growing worldwide concern to assure adequate and nutritious diets for all men, women and children, at home and abroad.
