Washington Views on Sugar Bill and Agency Reorgs
In a Washington Views segment the House adjourned for Memorial Day and discussed early action on the Sugar bill. The Agriculture Committee aims to report it quickly, a record for the session. The House backed President Nixon's Reorganization Plan One, merging VISTA and the Peace Corps, while the writer reserves support for Agriculture and opposes eliminating it. The writer opposed a new select committee on energy resources, citing duplication and political motives. He notes EPA licensing plans for feed lots and dairies may grow to cover smaller operations, urging delays and cost safeguards for farmers.
