Walker introduc
reform
WASHINGTON, DC. -
Pennsylvania's 16th district
Congressman Bob Walker
Monday announced that the
first piece of legislation he
introduced at the opening
session of the 97th Congress
was the Food Stamp Reform
Act of 1981
The Walker proposal
would convert the current
program mto one entirely
run by the states at an an
ticipated savings of some
$5OO million in duplicative
administrative costs
One of the top priorities
of the new Congress and
Administration must be to
eliminate wasteful fedeial
spending pi actices This
Food Stamp Reform
proposal speaks directly to
tins problem by initially
saving half a billion dollars
in unnecessary ad
ministrative costs Over the
long run it could cut $2 billion
from a $lO billion program
and still provide nutritional
assistance to the truly
needy,” Wa’ker commented
as he submitted his proposal

Walker explained the

measure
components in their
programs and by permitting
states to establish workfare
requirements to tighten
eligibility,” he added
The Walker Food Stamp
Reform proposal contains
language similar to
legislation he introduced
during the previous
Congress.
It finances the food stamp
program with block grants
to the states thereby
eliminating much ad
ministrative overhead cost
and assuring a more ef
ficient program
It provides for significant
reductions in fraud, waste,
and abuse by encouraging
the states to run tight
programs so that they would
qualify for discretionary use
of excess funds
It requires the states to
include a nutritional com
ponent in their programs to
assure reduced costs and to
reestablish the intent of the
program - that nutritional
needs be served
It permits the states to
establish workfaie com
ponents with stricter work
i equirements than pi esenlly
exist, a concept which has
been shown in demon
stration projects to
s’gailicantly icduce
c aseloads and costs

Walker explained

DOEBLER'S are offering 40 hybrids that have been researched exten
sively and are adapted to environmental conditions common to the east.
DOEBLER'S have relative maturity ranges from 78 days to full season
125 days which are producing outstanding yields for their respective
areas. We feel there are many reasons for buying DOEBLER’S hybrids.
For example:
SIMPLICITY
—DOBLER’S sell a full 56 lb bushel,
still by far the most economical
way to buy seed corn.
RESEARCH
—ln 1980 DOEBLER'S had 6 mach
ine harvested research plots and
over 125 strip tests planted
throughout our 8 state sales area.
The main objective for this type of
thorough research is to provide
better hybrids for the diversified
conditions of farmers in the east.
