Humphrey to Press Showdown With Nixon Over Rural Credit
Senator Hubert Humphrey, head of the Senate rural development subcommittee, schedules Sept 20 hearings on President Nixon's 1.1 billion rural revenue sharing plan while pressing ahead with the Talmadge Humphrey credit bill to create a national network of rural lenders. Humphrey aides say support for the credit bill is growing with 46 sponsors, including 39 Democrats and seven Republicans. Senator Jack Miller cautions it's not an either-or issue and expects concurrent action on credit.
