Senate Vote Wipes Out Budget Savings From House
The Senate approved a 1941 Agriculture Department appropriation bill totaling 923 million dollars with 212 million in parity payments to farmers and at least 85 million for continued surplus commodities. The measure, 63 to 19, eroded most of the House savings and left 208 million above the House figure and 202 million over Roosevelt's budget. The main remaining issue is La Follette's plan to raise the surplus funds to 113 million. If enacted, the bill would erase roughly 300 million in savings achieved by the House.
