House Moves to Freeze Food Stamp Prices This Year
The House Agriculture Committee backed a bill 33 to 2 to freeze food stamp prices for the remainder of the year. The measure mirrors a Senate draft and aims to counter a planned Ford administration price increase on March 1. Gordon Foley forecasts floor action before a 10 day recess, with hopes of a veto override if needed. The plan would raise prices to about 30 percent of recipients net income from the current 23 percent.
