§4532 Establishment of National Dairy Research Endowment Institute

Summary

The Secretary of Agriculture can create a National Dairy Research Endowment Institute inside the Department of Agriculture. The Institute must run the dairy products research order and use money from the Dairy Research Trust Fund to pay for scientific research that helps expand markets for U.S. milk and dairy products. The Institute is led by the members of the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board, which may pick an executive committee with equal representation from each milk-producing region. Board members do not get paid. When they travel away from their homes or regular work for board business, they may be reimbursed for travel and given a per diem if the board recommends it and the Secretary approves. They cannot receive duplicate payments for the same expenses.
