Both the Senate and the House if Representatives have approved a supplomental appropriation of 250 million dollars to provide for additional Acreage Reserve ar ticipation.

These will include those whose names are on "wait ing list" registers at the county office, and possibly others where there is evidence that they made an attempt to participate during the sign up period.
