Lawmaker Defends Five Thousand Loco Weed Aid
In a letter to Congressman Claude Hudspeth, J P Buchanan defends the House appropriations committee for a 5000 grant to the Bureau of Animal Industry and Forest Service to survey loco weed damage. He notes data gaps, explains the survey aim, and asserts livestock raisers should not complain about the action. The plan seeks a budgeted program for next session and a detailed cost estimate.
