Congress approves dairy subsidy and FCC extension in final session
Congress approved a dairy subsidy bill paying farmers not to produce milk and extended the FCC’s life while authorizing civil fines for obscene phone services. It also set $6.7 billion for State Department funding and kept UN funding at $602.3 million for 1984 and 1985, as tax and spending cuts stalled. Congress plans to reconvene Jan 23 with emergency-session powers amid Cold War era tensions.
