McGee threatens to cut off USDA funding from July 1
Sen Gale McGee warns he will block funding for the Agriculture Department for fiscal 1974. Heaccuses the administration of unconstitutional refusal to spend about $1 billion for farm programs and anti poverty measures. The move would halt farm program payments, food stamps, free lunch funding, and salaries at the USDA unless the White House restores the cut programs. Delegates from 40 states gathered in Washington to lobby against the elimination of rural electric loans and other subsidies. Humphrey urged action against the White House and Congress over the December cuts to conservation and rural aid programs.
