Two Billion Dollar Boost Planned for Agriculture Dept
The House Appropriations Committee recommended increasing the Agriculture Department budget by about 1.98 billion dollars for the next fiscal year starting July 1. Most funds would cover losses in price support programs, with a total package of 1,983,512,563 dollars proposed. The panel cited tough times for American agriculture and noted Eisenhower's past push for deeper cuts, saying Congress often restored funds. Regular programs would receive 783,061,708 dollars, with 27,163,682 dollars for special acts and 929,287,178 dollars for corporate expenses, no reductions planned in that area.
