Budget Director James C. Miller III outlined a mostly unchanged fiscal 1988 plan that would decouple farm subsidies from production, replacing direct payments tied to crops with subsidies based on capacity or other criteria. He cited high costs and distorted world markets, with $52 billion in program cuts and other savings to meet Gramm-Rudman targets and potential asset sales including the Amtrak rail line.
