Inflation Amendment Passes Senate in Farm Relief Debate
The Senate approved the inflation aimed farm relief amendment as part of the broader farm bill, with strong support from Sen Thomas of Oklahoma and the administration.

The debate touched on gold standard, credit transfers, and the president’s authority to influence currency policy amid broader war debt and disarmament discussions.
