50 —Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 24,1979 Walker proposes measure to curb over-regulation WASHINGTON, D.C. - “Because one of the most frequent complaints I hear from my constituents deals with the unreasonable and unrealistic regulations established by the federal government, I have in troduced “The Congressional Review of Administrative Rules Act,” Congressman Bob Walker announced Monday. The measure sets up a procedure for Congressional review of rules and regulations written by agencies of the federal government. Production, costs push retail prices up WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rising costs for producing as well as processing and marketing food in 1980 are likely to keep upward pressure on retail food prices to consumers. At the same time such pressures will put many agricultural producers in a difficult cost/price squeeze, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Agricultural Outlook, released by USDA’s Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service,pqints out that the rising costs will njean further increases in consumer food prices. Retail food prices in 1980 should rise 7 to 11 percent. ' Most of the rises will be 'caused by increases of about 10 percent for labor and packaging and continued "sharp increases for energy used in processing and marketing. Transportation costs also will be significantly higher. Gross farm income should increase slightly from 1979 record levels. Continued strong demand-especially for exports-is expected to increase cash receipts from crops. “Individuals in all walks of life - agriculture, education, business, ' - are expressing justified dissatisfaction and extreme frustration with the burdens imposed by overregulation. Time and time again federal executive agencies have usurped the legislative authority of the Congress through the rule making process. “I believe the lawmaking body elected by the people should be making the decisions, not the unelected bureaucrats.” Congressional veto marketing Cash receipts for livestock and livestock products will be nearly unchanged, reflecting increases in the value of cattle and milk marketings and steady to lower receipts from hogs, broilers, and turkeys. Although gross receipts will continue high next year, the rising costs of farm in puts likely will mean a drop in 1980 net farm income from this year’s level of $3O to $32 billion. The projected 11-percent upswing in total farm production expenses in cludes boosts of about 20 to 30 percent of fuel and fer tilizer and 10 to 15 percent for operation, repairs, and machine hire. With a rise of this magnitude, net farm income could decline sub stantially-perhaps by a fifth. While factors underlying agricultural income for the first quarter of 1980 are fairly well established, the u rest of the year is a question mark. Farm prices and income during the last half of 1980 will be largely in fluenced by worldwide crop prospects and havests. authority as proposed by Congressman Walker would make the regulatory process much more responsive and accountable than ever before. The measure provides that any rule or regulation written by a federal agency would be subject to review by Congress and would permit either the House of Representatives or the Senate to prevent an ob jectionable regulation from going into effect. In addition, it extends that authority to review rules and regulations which are now in effect. The Walker measure requires that agencies which publish regulations must submit them to Congress 60 days prior to their im plementation. If, during that 60 day period, either the House or the Senate adopts a resolution of disapproval, then the rule stands vetoed. “Administrative rules and regulations have the force and effect of statutory law. Yet, no elected officials participate in the promulgation of such rales and regulations,” Walker said. “The time has come to' return government to its proper role, to give the public through their elected representatives, an input and a control over the rules which govern their lives.” WHAT A THERMA-STOR CAN SAVE YOU With Your Pipeline or Parlor Hot Water Needs LAST YEAR S TOTAL'SAVINGS - *320.18 PRESENT ELECTRIC COST IN AUGUST 1979 - .046 (Kilowatt cost) AT TODAY'S ELECTRIC COSTS THERMA’STOR Please call for further information or an appointment for us to check out your farm. • PLANNING LAYOUTS • SALES • INSTALLATION • SERVICE SHENK'S FARM SERVICE 501 E.
