Section 101(f) of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, is amended by striking out all of the first sentence following the words "except that", and substituting in lieu therefor the following: "notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, price support shall be made available to cooperators for the 1968 and each subsequent crop of extra long staple cotton, if producers have not disapproved marketing quotas therefor, through loans at a level which is not less than 50 per centum or more than 100 per centum in excess of the loan level established for Middling one-inch upland cotton of such crop at average location in the United States (except that such loan level for extra long staple cotton shall in no event be less than 35 cents per pound) and, in addition, through price-support payments at a rate which, together with the loan level established for such crop, shall be not less than 65 per centum or more than 90 per centum of the parity price for extra long staple cotton as of the month in which the payment rate provided for by this subsection is announced. Such payment with respect to any farm shall be made on the quantity of extra long staple cotton, determined in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary, equal to either (1) for a farm on which the acreage planted to such cotton does not exceed an acreage determined by multiplying the farm acreage allotment by the price-support payment factor established by the Secretary for each crop, the actual production of such cotton on the farm, or (2) for a farm on which the acreage planted to such cotton exceeds an acreage determined by multiplying the farm acreage allotment by the price-support payment factor \mi does not exceed the farm acreage allotment, the actual production of such cotton on the farm attributable to the number oi acres determined by multiplying the farm acreage allotment by such price-support payment factor. The Secretary shall establish the price-support payment factor for each such crop of extra long staple cotton by dividing the 1966 national acreage allotment for such cotton by the national acreage allotment proclaimed for such crop, except that such factor shall not be more than one. The Secretary shall provide for the sharing of price-support payments under this subsection among producers on a farm on the basis of their respective shares in the crop of extra long staple cotton produced on the farm, or the proceeds therefrom. The provisions of subsection 8(g) of the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as amended (relating to assignment of payments), shall also apply to payments under this subsection. The Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized to utilize its capital funds and other assets for the purpose of making the payments authorized in this subsection and to pay administrative expenses necessary in carrying out this subsection."
