Washington AP funding for a 2.2 billion plan to aid farmers hit by floods and drought remains stalled. CBO warns costs may range 1.5 to 3 billion depending on 1991 crop losses. Rep. Whitten proposed 1.75 billion emergency aid for 1990 1991 disasters, but the White House may veto. Texas, hit hard with 618 million in crop losses, could claim a large share.
