§ 4511. Investigations; power to subpena and take
oaths and affirmations; aid of courts
The Secretary may make such investigations
as the Secretary deems necessary for the effec-
tive administration of this subchapter or to de-
termine whether any person subject to the pro-
visions of this subchapter has engaged or is
about to engage in any act that constitutes or
will constitute a violation of any provision of
this subchapter or of any order, or rule or regu-
lation issued under this subchapter. For the pur-
pose of such investigation, the Secretary may
administer oaths and affirmations, subpena wit-
nesses, compel their attendance, take evidence,
and require the production of any records that
are relevant to the inquiry. Such attendance of
witnesses and the production of any such
records may be required from any place in the
United States. In case of contumacy by, or re-
fusal to obey a subpena to, any person, the Sec-
retary may invoke the aid of any court of the
United States within the jurisdiction of which
such investigation or proceeding is carried on,
or where such person resides or carries on busi-
ness, in requiring the attendance and testimony
of witnesses and the production of records. The
court may issue an order requiring such person
to appear before the Secretary to produce
records or to give testimony touching the mat-
ter under investigation. Any failure to obey
such order of the court may be punished by such
court as a contempt thereof. Process in any such
case may be served in the judicial district in
which such person is an inhabitant or wherever
such person may be found.

**(a)** Congress finds that—
(1) dairy products are basic foods that are a valuable part of the human diet;
(2) the production of dairy products plays a significant role in the Nation’s economy, the milk from which dairy products are manufactured is produced by thousands of milk producers, and dairy products are consumed by millions of people throughout the United States;
(3) dairy products must be readily available and marketed efficiently to ensure that the people of the United States receive adequate nourishment;
(4) the maintenance and expansion of existing markets for dairy products are vital to the welfare of milk producers and those concerned with marketing, using, and producing dairy products, as well as to the general economy of the Nation; and
(5) dairy products move in interstate and foreign commerce, and dairy products that do not move in such channels of commerce directly burden or affect interstate commerce of dairy products.
**(b)** It, therefore, is declared to be the policy of Congress that it is in the public interest to authorize the establishment, through the exercise of the powers provided herein, of an orderly procedure for financing (through assessments on all milk produced in the United States for commercial use and on imported dairy products) and carrying out a coordinated program of promotion designed to strengthen the dairy industry’s position in the marketplace and to maintain and expand domestic and foreign markets and uses for fluid milk and dairy products. Nothing in this subchapter may be construed to provide for the control of production or otherwise limit the right of individual milk producers to produce milk or the right of any person to import dairy products.
