Bennett Sees Little Action After White House Farm Meeting
Gov. Robert F. Bennett said he is less hopeful about federal action on farm problems after meeting with President Carter, Vice President Mondale, and Agriculture Secretary Bergland. Bennett reported broad GOP and Democratic unity urging passage of the Senate farm bill, but said the President gave an “empty vessel” response and made no commitments. The Kansas governor noted ongoing discussions on energy, transportation, and welfare with Carter’s team, while also praising Chief Justice Harold Fatzer's retirement.
