Abolition of FSA Urged in House Appropriation Plan
The House Appropriations Committee recommended abolition of the Farm Security Administration and the France crop abandonment program. It also proposed ending parity payments for the 1943 and 1944 crops while sending the Agriculture Department supply bill to the floor. The request included 193 523 000 dollars for parity payments for the 1942 crop year, authorized previously but funded later. The committee suggested transferring FSA functions to the Farm Security Administration as the Deal era shift is questioned.
