Tobacco price supports face renewed attack in Congress
Washington AP reports opponents of federal tobacco price supports call for complete elimination, arguing policy inconsistent with anti smoking efforts. Rep. Petri says efforts to deregulate may join broader bills, while Hopkins Helms oppose repeal as a stunt and warn growers must pay for rights. The program, begun in the 1930s, limits supports to those with federal production rights and penalizes unallotted growers.
