Agriculture panel drops revenue sharing from credit bill
The House Agriculture Committee moved toward final approval of a rural development credit bill but rejected President Nixon’s request to couple it with a federal revenue sharing plan. Voting 16 to 4, then 18 to 6, the panel nixed revenue sharing and the governors option, advancing a loan program for rural industry and community facilities with grant ceilings including 200 million dollars annually for water and sewer projects. Separately, farmers began enrolling in the 1972 support programs for feed grains, wheat, and cotton, with preliminary results due early February and signup through March 10.
