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.
Germond predicted a “game of
chicken” between Congress and
the White House over spending
reductions that would see which
side comes up with a plan to

Bush To Spotlight Agriculture
reduce the fiscal 1990 deficit to a
$lOO billion congressional target.
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

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.”

government, said he expects Bush
to utilize the cabinet more than his
predecessors. “I don’t believe the
White House staff will bring the
issues inside that 18-acre com
pound (the White House) and let
the cabinet feel left out,” he said.
“Members of the cabinet know
each other and have personal rela
tionships with the President.” This
cabinet has more firepower than
we’ve seen in recent times, he
added.
Germond and Fuller both had
praise for Secretary of
