PAGE SIX-B R' On June 9, the House pass ed the Agriculture Appropria tion bill for fiscal year 1971. The total amount of this ap propriation was $7,450488,150. As reported earlier in this column, the President’s bud get failed to include any funds for the Special Milk Program for 17 million school children. But the Appropria tio n s Committee restored $lO4 million to continue this much needed program. Also, the President’s budget did not request any funds for the Ag ricultural Conservation Pro gram, more popularly known as ACP. Here again the com mittee, with the House sus taining the action, provided $195,500,000. Certainly, soil and water conservation must be considered a vital part of any attack on pollution. Os interest to our rural com munities of the district was the successful effort of a few of us to provide the $44 mil lion in additional funds for rural water and sewer pro jects. The committee had proposed SSB million and with the successful amend ment, the House version brings this to a total of SIOO million. Contrary to the ao tion of the past two years, the House refused to place ahy limitations on subsidy payments. The consensus was if limitations are to be itnposed, they should be con tained in the general agricul ture bill at a later date, j All farmers should be aware of the tobacco refer If HHtttfforJk i :llf funeral home I i = EDENION.

Before you start out on your motor trip, stop in for Marfak lubrication. Marfak is Texaco’s tough, chassis lubricant that won’t jar out, leak out, or dry out. Resists wash out... stays put to protect bearings for a thousand miles and more. For a safer, smoother-operating car, you can depend on Mar fak'. It’s just one of many outstanding Texaco products we have for your car. Good reasons why more and more people trust their car to the man who wears the star... the Texaco star. Rudolph Dale (texaco) Report From Washington By Rep. Walter B. Jones endum vote for the tobacco support program to be held sometime in mid July. This vote will provide for a con tinuation of the support pro gram for the 1971-73 crops. For the past two years, more than half of the total pro duction of fluc-cured tobacco has been exported to our for eign markets. Hie support program provides for more development work overseas which will help maintain the foreign demand. So, it is ex tremely important that those who are involved in the pro duction of tobacco cast their vote both for the support pro gram and a continuation of Tobacco Associates, Inc. The House also passed a resolution creating a 12-mem ber delegation from the Con gress to make a thorough and complete investigation of our Vietnam involvement and to report back to the House within 45 days. This action is ip answer to those who have been critical of Con gress not becoming more in volved in the military deci sions and activities of this nation- In other action, the House approved the Clean Air Act amendments for 1970. Among other things, it authorizes the secretary of HEW to establish nationwide ambient air qual ity standards, and also auth orizes the testing of any new motor vehicle or engine as ft comes off the assembly line in order to determine whether the vehicle conforms with the applicable emission standards. The authorization provides for an appropriation of S2OO million for fiscal year 1971; $250 million for 1972, and $324 million for 1973. This TOE CHOWAN HEEALP, EDENTON, ROW CAROLINA, TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1979. compares with a previous high figure of $lB5 million for fiscal year 1989. Hie 1971 military construc tion appropriation bill was approved totaling 41 billion, 997 million. The budget esti mate was in excess of $2 bil lion, but the committee re duced this figure by almost $l3B 'million. The House Committee on Agriculture continues to be unable to reach a compromise on a farm bill to replace pres ent legislation which expires on December 31 of this year. I am confident that some agreement wiH be reached in the near future, for all mem bers of the committee are aware of the importance of a i sound farm program.
