Gap Legislation Would Double Ag Dept Funds For July
Senate subcommittee unanimously recommended a simple resolution to let the agriculture department spend about 93.9 million dollars in July under the June spending level, while a disputed regular appropriation bill would cap funds at 56.6 million. The plan aims to avoid financial embarrassment if the two chambers cannot agree on the regular bill this month. The broader fight centers on farm price policy and parity, with Roosevelt opposing sub parity sales and pressuring for livestock feed sales at or near parity.
