Senate votes on doubling food stamp program plans
The Senate will vote next week on a proposal to more than double the food stamp program, with the Agriculture Committee ready to advance a comprehensive reform measure. The panel approved a resolution increasing spending from 340 million to 750 million for the year starting July 1, as leaders expect quick Senate passage and prompt House action. The move follows hearings tied to broader farm aid reforms, while McGovern endorses the higher figure and Ellender pushes prompt action on the reform bill. Holland plans to delay final farm money action until food stamp authorization is raised. Sometime later in 069 West Irian residents will decide if it remains part of Indonesia or seeks independence.
