It presents the plan: to field 1000 planes at front, maintain 100 per cent reserve, and replace losses at 10 percent weekly by keeping 2000 planes on hand with 100 weekly deliveries.

Price-Pegging Farm Loan Plan Is Abandoned
Washington Nov 1974 The House Agriculture Committee abandoned demands for price pegging farm loans at 100 percent parity and will seek a three year extension of the present 85 percent level. The plan would keep loans at the basic 85 percent rate with 15 percent parity covered by cash subsidies, and any cut in parity payments or conservation benefits would raise the loan rate. The panel reserved its choice on the final extension, approved the basic program, and Wickard announced a postwar effort to forestall an economic slump.
