Tobacco policy clash pits price supports against anti smoking drive
Washington AP reports U S task forces from two major agencies face conflicting goals over tobacco. The Agriculture Department seeks to modernize the 60 million dollar yearly price support program for about 600000 farmers while HEW funds a 19 million dollar annual anti smoking campaign. HEW aims for a strong public education push and safer cigarettes, but will not target price supports. Califano declines to curb the subsidy, noting political support from President Carter and Bergland.
