Disaster program clears Congress
Thursday, June 7, 2007
If my count is complete and includes all proposals, a crop disaster program for 2005 and 2006 crops was defeated in the Congress a total of five times. However, when the "US Troops Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act" was signed into law on May 24, an appropriation was included for crop and livestock disaster programs.
