The bill, of which Rep. David Obey (Wis.) is the chief sponsor, was cleared July 24 by the House Rules Com mittee for floor action. It now appears that Rep. Tom Foley (Wash.), chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, and Rep. AI Baldus (Wis.), chairman of the Dairy and Poultry Subcommittee, will press for action on the dairy bill shortly after the Congressional session resumes on Sept. 5. “The practical effect of our legislation will be to continue market conditions favoring price and supply stability,” Rep. Obey said. “Dairy farmers should be able to plan for the future without worrying that they’ll be knocked off their feet if markets collapse. At the same time, we should guard I N "J s ' Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, August 18,1979 Dairy bill will await Congress WINTER BARLEY • Certified Barsoy • Certified Maury • Certified Pennrad WINTER WHEAT Certified Hart - (The new Bearded Wheat) Certified Redcoat REIST SEED COMPANY Finest Quality Seeds (Since 1925) Mount Joy, Pa. PH: 717 653-4121 against shortage of dairy products which can cause drastic consequences for consumers.” Also recently cleared for House debate is H.R. 2172. a compromise domestic sugar stabilization bill which proposes to set a domestic sugar price objective of 15.8 cents a pound for 1979, with authority for increases not exceeding 7% in 1980 and 1981. Opponents of the legislation, largely sugar using industries, are ap parently hoping to aggravate the split between sugar producers and producers of other sweeteners in order to kill the legislation, as happened in 1978. At that time, a bill which had cleared the House and Senate but had been gravely watered down in conference committee, failed to win final approval on the House floor. Ihe vote this year is expected to be close enough that minor points of division could again be fatal. (Reprinted from the Washington Newsletter of the National Farmers Union) 19
