Congress approves Reagan backed repeal of dairy supports
Congress grants final approval to repeal the April 1 dairy price support hike, a move expected to be signed by President Reagan. The measure, praised as federal and consumer savings, will save about 147 million dollars this year and prevent higher milk, butter, and cheese prices. Dairy workers criticize the rollback but inflation and spending concerns dominate. Some members push curbs on casein imports to reduce domestic powdered milk surplus.
