Congressmen With Military Pensions Draw Second Checks
Thirty two U S congress members receive monthly military pension or VA payments in addition to their salaries. The range runs from forty one to eleven hundred nine dollars a month. Notable cases include John Glenn Bob Dole and Barry Goldwater who top the list with eight forty eight seven zero eight six four dollar checks. Critics say the system should be changed as it benefits lawmakers who vote on defense and pension issues while receiving retirement pay.

Congress backs costly farm subsidy plan despite veto threat
A Senate House conference committee agreed on a flexible farm subsidy plan that would boost grain and cotton supports and cost taxpayers at least 2.1 billion dollars this year. If widespread farmer uptake occurs, consumer food prices could rise 2 to 3 billion more, or about 3 percent, by next year. The plan aligns with Sen Robert Dole's proposal but faces a likely presidential veto, as the Carter administration has offered a narrower package and Mondale warned any broader bill would be vetoed. The committee rejected a cheaper subsidy and loan proposal from Thomas Foley.
