The most sweeping
changes will be on the
Democratic side of the
Senate where three of the
four senior Democratic
members of the Senate
Agriculture, Nutrition, and
Forestry Committee failed
to keep their Senate seats.
Chairman Herman
Talmadge of Georgia finally
conceded defeat after a
recount showed him behind
his Republican challenger.
Talmadge, widely regarded
as a friend of agriculture,
had a difficult tune in the
primary election, too, where
PH: 717-299-2571
to face several changes
he faced several strong
opponents.
But the Southern
Democrat’s loss to a
Republican did not surprise
some Georgia political
observers who have said
Talmadge spent too much
time with his national
constituency and not enough
tune with Georgians.
He will be replaced in the
Senate Ag Chairmanship by
Jesse Helms of North
Carolina. A Republican,
Helms also is widely
respected by farmers and
farm groups in the nation’s
capital.
Two other top Democrats
on the Senate Ag Committee
who will not be back are
George McGovern, South
Dakota, the number two
Democrat on the Com
mittee; and Richard Stone,
of Florida. Also forfeitmg his
seat will be Donald Stewart,

Alabama.
One Republican member
will not be back. He is Milton
Young, of North Dakota, the
number two Republican on
the Committee.
On the House side,
somewhat surprisingly, the
Republicans holding Ag
Committee seats fared
worse than the Democrats.
But the Democrats will lose
more in power.
Three Democrats will not
be back. They are Dawson
Mathis, Georgia; Richard
Nolan, Minnesota: and Alvin
Baldus, Wisconsin.
Five Republcians are
gone. They ulclude Keith
Sebehus, Kansas; -Steven
Symms, Idaho; James
Johnson, Colorado; Richard
Kelly, Florida; and Charles
Grassley, lowa.
Of importance to
dairymen is the loss of Rep.
Baldus, formerly chairman

Grea
of the Dairy and Poultry
Subcommittee.
Several proposals, in
cluding the Community
Nutrition Institute’s request
for review of the handling of
milk in federal milk
marketing areas, will be
comi°g up. Should
legislative change or
backgrounding be needed,
the change in leadership
could prove an advantage to
one side or the other.
Democrats also will be
looking at a replacement for
the Family Farms, Rural
Development, and Special
Studies Subcommittee
Chair, formerly held by
Nolan.
Democrats will maintain
leadership in the House and
Thomas Foley, Washington,
will continue as House
Agriculture Committee
Chairman following a close
election in his home district.
New appointments to the
seats will be made with
the beginning of the 97th
Congress.
Senator-elect Arlen
Spector said he would at
tempt to gam a seat on the
18-member Ag Committee.
With the exception of
Patrick Leahy, Vermont,
there is no Eastern
representation of any kind
from either party on the
Senate Ag Committee,
unless one counts Walter
Huddleston of Kentucky. The
rest of the Senators are Corn
Belt, Deep South, or
Westerners.
On the much larger House
Ag Committee, just three of
the 42 members are
Easterners
They are New York
Democrat Fredrick Rich

Republican James Jeffords;
