§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 will help the dairy industry by carrying out the dairy products research order and using money from the Dairy Research Trust Fund to pay for it. It will set up a lasting way to fund scientific research to help expand markets for milk and dairy products sold in the United States. The Institute will be run by a board of trustees made up of the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board members. The board can pick an executive committee from its members that fairly represents all milk-producing regions. Board members get no salary, but they may be paid reasonable travel costs and a daily allowance when working away from home, as the board recommends and the Secretary approves, and they cannot be paid twice for the same expense.
