Veto Likely as Africa Aid and Farm Loans Face Veto
The veto fights over drought relief proposals continue. Democrats add 100 million in interest-rate subsidies for farmers and 1.85 billion in loan-guarantee money plus 50 percent advances on crop price support loans. Senate Leader Dole predicts a veto stay, citing cost. House moves to add 1 billion in loan guarantees, with strict debt limits. Reagan says existing credits suffice. Agriculture Secretary Black warns new federal aid is unnecessary and could aid bankers more than farmers.

Helms Proposal Seeks Higher Farm Safety Net Rates
A Helms bill would set loan rates at 75 to 85 percent of a five year price average, with target prices 110 to 125 percent of the loan rate. Payments would be capped at the median family income, $24,581 in 1983, and conservation rules could require idle cropland. Dairy support would persist with stock sales for export. Reagan favors abolishing purchases and moving to a target price system. Interest on operating loans would rise toward commercial levels and shift to guaranteed lending.
