Gap Legislation Would Fund Agriculture Department in July
A Senate appropriations subcommittee on Saturday unanimously recommended a gap measure to fund the agriculture department for July at about 93.9 million dollars, nearly double the disputed regular appropriation. The plan would let the department spend at June 1942 levels while the House and Senate wrangle over farm subsidy policy related to grain sales for livestock feed at parity or above.
