Senate Votes Funds for Agriculture Department
The Senate appropriations committee unanimously approved a bill providing 9793,900,000 for the Agriculture Department for July with the stipulation that spending be drawn from annual appropriations later. The measure, backed by Democratic Leader Barkley, aims for quick Senate approval and House passage, potentially effective for 90 days during conference on the larger appropriation bill. The fight over parities and price supports for wheat and corn, with OPA funds and inflation remedies discussed, reflects ongoing disputes between Senate and House on agricultural financing.
