Aiken bills win approval from Senate Agriculture panel
The Senate Agriculture and Forestry Committee approved two of Sen. George D. Aiken's measures. One creates a wild areas system within the Eastern National Forest covering Bristol Cliffs and Lye Brook totaling 16,000 acres in Vermont. The other preserves the 2 percent Rural Electrification Administration loan program for rural electric and telephone facilities. The action signals Congress will challenge White House program cuts and assert constitutional funding decisions.
