A2O-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 4,1989 HONOLULU, HI Agricul tural issues will get attention in Washington early this year - both in the budget-setting exercise and in foreign relations, according to two speakers at the 60th annual meeting of the National Council of Fanner Cooperatives. Farm programs will get budget attention, said syndicated news paper columnist Jack Germond, because agriculture and medicare will be the two prime targets for cuts as Congress and the Bush Administration seek to reduce the budget deficit. And agricultural exports will draw attention because the Presi dent can be expected to fulfill his campaign promise to put agricul ture first on the agenda of-the sum mit meeting of leaders of the big seven industrial nations in June, according to Craig Fuller, who was Bush’s vice presidential chief of staff and co-director of his transition committee.

He foresees a package freezing defense spending to inflationary increases, cuts in programs such as agricultural price supports and medicare, and new revenue with out an increase in basic income tax rates. Fuller offered the view that a spending reduction designed by the Administration would be only “weeks away” and that the final package agreed with Congress would avoid a tax increase, as Bush pledged during the presiden tial campaign. “But my guess is that they will go right to the brink of sequestration before agreeing,” he added. Sequestration is a term in the Gramm Rudman-Hollmgs deficit reduction law to describe automatic spending reductions, if Congress and the President do not agree on how to cut the deficit to $lOO billion. “That would play havoc with defense and every other segment of government, including agricul ture,” Fuller said. “It’s something nobody wants.” Germond predicted “a great leadersh/ponparade JOHN DEERE DAY 89 • Feb. 13 Thru Feb. 25 deal of attention to foreign policy initiatives,” and Fuller said eco nomic policy, including agricul tural trade, would be an important factor in many early talks Bush will hold with heads of other governments. Both agreed Bush had selected a cabinet different from former President Ronald Reagan’s. Ger mond called its members “prag matists” who are “good at getting things done.” Fuller characterized it as “the strongest cabinet any President has assembled in mod em history.” Fuller, who plans to return to public relations after eight years in NELSON AUTOMATIC fn LIVESTOCK iatf WATERERS M -B I • lee Free Water In Winter Wmmr — Cool Fresh SITMT l Water In K|| Summer - *4l Automatically Rugged 8" Or 24" High Housings $119.99 KANE HEAT MATS r* * DELPHI WOVEN WIRE FLOORING f Sizes: 4xB, 5x7 'y. it »- Alio Custom Sizes r V- Available V » Available: Tenderfoot V V & Plastic Hooring *"*. •* * * r Heavy Duty 3 'TRUCKLOAD SALE> Gau S e wire 8 Yr.
