Iowa faces $20 million federal cut in 1973 budget
Iowa state planners warn Nixon impoundments will deny about 20 million in federal funds this year while about 50 million already held in reserve may eventually be released. The loss of 15 million HUD and Farmers Home aid and 5.5 million Rural Environmental Assistance funds compounds uncertainty as officials consider possible 1974 impacts.

Supporters say it backs elderly relief and welfare, while opponents warn it undermines highway funding and may force tax increases.
