Governors must request aid, with farmers eligible for up to 10 pounds of grain per head daily or freight subsidies, capped at two thirds of hay cost and up to $29 per ton.

Tower Says Nixon Right On Disaster Aid Amid Drought Debate
UPI reports Sen. John Tower of Texas and Sen. Henry Bellmon of Oklahoma push a bill to let the agriculture secretary authorize more set aside farm acreage and loan relief for drought hit farmers. Tower says a formal major disaster declaration would unlock more benefits, while Sen. Lloyd Bentsen disagrees, urging the declaration. Tower also comments on China trade and missile competition with the Soviet Union, cautions about political confusion in Texas, and criticizes the Supreme Court desegregation decisions.
