Dole delays Farm Credit bailout vote amid campaign push
The Senate delayed final passage of a 4 billion Farm Credit System bailout as Sen. Robert Dole campaigned in Iowa. Sen. Tom Harkin angrily criticized the delay, while Sen. Patrick Leahy and Sen. J J Exon noted the political timing. The bill, costing about 1.3 billion in interest over 15 years, would reshape the Farm Credit System and extend borrower protections.
