The reserve would be a first step toward the establish- ment of an international system of grain reserves designed to prevent widespread famine in the event of crop failures or other disasters. The reserve system would also assureU.S. farmers of a reasonable return on their investment and assure consumers of stable food prices, the religious leaders said. The 35 leaders issued their statement on grain reserves in a message to President Jimmy Carter and in testimony before the Senate Agriculture Committee which is con- sidering a comprehensive farm bill. THE STATEMENT and testimony were coordinated through Bread for the World,a New York-based Christian citizens lobby concerned with world hunger. Statement signers included Archbishop Joseph Ber- nardin of Cincinnati, president of the National Conference of Time for everyone: Archbishop Edward Renewal for South Florida Prayer Groups Catholic Bishops (NCCB); Cardinal Terence Cooke of New A.
