Fate of FCIC in Balance on Capitol Hill
In Washington on July 7 the fate of reviving the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation hung on a House vote on an amendment to a 366 million dollar catch-all deficiency bill. The amendment would grant FCIC about 7.82 million to insure wheat and cotton for another year, superseding an 3.5 million self liquidation provision in the farm bill sent to the White House. Senator Russell noted House attempts to rewrite the farm measure were to be avoided. House and Senate conferees trimmed allocations for war housing and war projects and two other major appropriations remained for disposal. The dispute centered on a Senate demand to review all appointees to War Manpower and 18 other agencies drawing over 4,500 a year.
