With the prize-winning Federalism program in which responsibility, including financial, for school lunches would be turned back to the individual states. The resolution has been in* troduced by Congressman William F. Goodhng (R-ta.J, of the 18th District of York, Adams and Cumberland Counties, and Carl D. lerkms (D-Ky.), chairman of the House Committee on Education and Labor. Kep. Doodling is the ranking GOl member of the Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary and Vocational Education. The bi-partisan resolution has picked up some 26 co-sponsors in the past couple of weeks since introduction. Hearings on the resolution have been scheduled for Sept. 21. While the resolution doesn’t carry the weight of law, its outcome will serve as a guide for further Ad ministration efforts to include school lunches in the Federalism turnback to the states. in introducing the resolution, Congressman Goodhng said: “A child’s nutritional needs do not vary from state to state. “However, the Administration’s plan doesn’t recognize that a child residing in a state with a low tax base is less likely to receive a nutritionally a 'quate diet than a child whose parents reside in a state with a higher or more favorable tax base.” Among agricultural organizations with a vital interest in supporting passage of the resolution are the various com modity groups, such as the National Milk 1-roducers and the United Egg f roducers. For these commodity groups and the segments of agriculture they represent, the school lunch program represents not only an equal nutritional responsibility to all of the nation’s youth, but an important market, too.

NMPF plan enters House-Senate talks WASHINGTON, D.C. - The National Milk Producers’ Federation Dairy Stabilization plan met with approval, Tuesday, during U.S. House budget talks and has moved into the Senate-House Conference Committee for further deliberation, said NMPF spokesperson Doni Dondero. Meanwhile, the U.S. Senate twice rejected a proposed amendment, this week, which would have lowered the $13.10 dairy support price by 50 cents. The defeated amendment was proposed by Florida Senator Paula Hawkins. Instead, the Senate Agriculture Committee has agreed to the $13.10 price in their budget but is ex pected To resume dairy legislation talks in January, said Hawkin’s aide Mary Kenkel. Members of the House and Senate met Thursday afternoon to discuss each other’s budget ver sion. At press time, the Conference Committee was still in session. In other legist., ucuoa, the U.S. House ag committee has voted to require the Reagan Ad $7.50 per year ministration to boost price sup port loan rates for com by five percent if the administration continues to refuse to negotiate a “long term” grain sales agreement with the Soviet Union.
