The 1942 farm program bill totaling 890.8 million dollars was sent to the House by the appropriations committee. It reduces the budget estimate by about 4.9 million and cuts current-year parity payments by 193.0 million. The plan keeps 1.42 billion available for next year via permanent appropriations and borrowing powers, with 162 million in parity payments to be made through commitments rather than cash. The committee notes continued parity payments are essential and that the budget proposal shifted cash to commitments per Roosevelt’s suggestion, though that provision was dropped.
