White House mulls shift of FmHA offices to new Department
White House reorganization plans propose transferring county offices of the Farmers Home Administration into a delivery system of a new Department of Development Assistance. The option appears in a footnote in a draft plan distributed to public-interest groups for reaction. FmHA is the largest rural development agency in USDA, handling loans for low income farmers and programs for community facilities, water systems, and industrial projects.

Government report weighs shifting rural policy powers to new department
A plan explores creating a department combining rural and urban policy offices, moving non farm community development programs from FmHA, Commerce, and HUD into the new entity. It would keep farm loan work with Agriculture and ASCS delivery, with rural delivery possibly expanding to all FmHA offices. Eartha Kitt turns 51, Angela Davis 35 today.
