	History of Sugar Programs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		U.S. sugar producers were in acute economic distress at the time President Roosevelt initiated the New Deal because the tariffs they had sought for protecting and improving their economic position prior to 1933 were no longer effective.
		The Sugar Act was consequently permitted to expire on December 31, 1974.
		In administering the sugar program, the USDA took the position that the loan rate for refined beet sugar is intended to reflect a value consistent with the historical relationship between refined beet sugar net selling prices and raw cane sugar prices, the basis used by sugar cane and sugarbeet processors in determining grower returns.

	sugar act
		The Revenue Act of 1764, also known as the Sugar Act, was the first tax on the American colonies imposed by the British Parliament.
		Just as important, however, were the Act’s profound implications for the colonial judicial system, for the Revenue Act of 1764 allowed British officers to try colonists who violated the new duties at a new Vice-Admiralty court in Halifax, Nova Scotia, thus depriving the colonists of their right to trial by a jury of their peers.
		While a handful of colonial leaders recognized the grave implications of the Revenue Act, it was not until news of the Stamp Act reached the colonies that the seeds of rebellion were planted in the hearts and minds of the broader public.

		The Sugar Act of 1948, including Title II, expired on 31 December 1974 and was not replaced by similar legislation.
		Accordingly, the tariff binding on raw and refined sugar had not been in effect since that date and would not come into effect unless legislation substantially equivalent to Title II of the Sugar Act of 1948 is enacted by the United States.
		As sugar was an item on which a binding was negotiated by the United States, if the hypothesis of a possible application of unlimited restrictions under the Headnote or under the Waiver were accepted, the United States, in contradiction with the criterion of reasonable expectation, would have the right to reduce its imports to zero.
