Democrats Stand Firm Against Farm Veto Threat
Democrats from farming states refuse to bow to a presidential veto threat over dairy subsidies. Sen. Edward Zorinsky of Nebraska rejects using the veto as leverage while negotiators work to reconcile House and Senate farm bill versions. House bill would cost about six billion more than the Senate plan over five years, while the Senate bill exceeds Reagan’s target by two to three billion. Black says the Senate version is tolerable unless it strays too far from his guidance.
