Farm funding bill heads to White House for Reagan signature
Congress finally sent the $5.6 billion fiscal 1987 supplemental appropriations bill to the White House after weeks of tie-ups over defense and nonfarm amendments. The measure funds farm programs including CCC payments delayed for nearly two months, plus Pentagon, foreign aid and homeless spending, risking further deficits and farmer hardships across the Midwest. Senator Bob Kasten urged action to prevent farmers from being financially hostage to Congress.
