Lugar skeptical of crop insurance reform plan
Sen Richard Lugar warned that the Clinton administration's proposed crop insurance reform could cost more than the current system for weather disasters, creating a new entitlement and widening the federal deficit. Sen Charles Grassley praised the start but Lugar's fear of reduced disaster aid remains.

Crop Insurance Reform Pace Faces July 4 Deadline
Kenneth Ackerman of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation says the reform could cost the government $750 million less over five years and make the plan affordable for farmers. The administration seeks $1 billion to start reform, with conferees agreeing to include it in the budget resolution. Sen. Kerrey Grassley and Sen. Sasser push for broad backing, while Sen. Lugar questions feasibility and cost clarity ahead of the 1995 crop year.
