  • LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY FOR: March 19, 2001
    1 LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY FOR: March 19, 2001 NRCS, Office of Legislative Affairs Room 5121, South Agriculture Bldg. (202) 720-2771 For additional information contact: Douglas J. McKalip Eric W. Carlson Sharyn C. Alvarez =============================================================== LAST WEEK FEDERAL FARM COMMODITY PROGRAMS - The House Agriculture Committee (Chairman Larry Combest, TX) held a full committee hearing on federal farm commodity programs. The witnesses were the National Farmers Union and the National Association of Wheat Growers. The Committee asked the witnesses to provide details on the direction they would like to see farm policy take in the 2002 Farm Bill. The National Farmers Union (NFU) stated that the primary goal of commodity programs should be to provide economic stability and opportunity for producers over time consistent with a responsible view of market realities, resource sustainable and food security and safety issues. The National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) stated that despite the economic difficulties over the last three years, the 1996 Farm Bill continues to serve the nation's farmers and ranchers well. The NAWG made positive comments about conservation programs as well. Questions included the concern with market signals, agriculture competition abroad, export values and currency exchange rates. The Committee also discussed reserve programs, market support levels and research of alternative uses of wheat. The Committee also posed questions ranging from trade issues, foreign competition, and set aside programs. LEGISLATION OF NOTE The following Bills of significance to NRCS and conservation have been introduced. BILL MEMBER PURPOSE H.R. 960 Rep. Kolbe (AZ) To amend the IRS code to exclude from taxes up to 50% capital gains value of certain land donated for qualified conservation purposes.

  • PB Washington Update - January 29, 2013 - Interim Update
    PB Washington Update - January 29, 2013 - Interim Update This is a follow-up to the earlier email transmitting the US DOT press release announcing that after months of speculation, US DOT Secretary Ray LaHood will be stepping down. LaHood has indicated he will serve until his replacement is nominated and confirmed, so he could remain in office for several months. There are currently a number of Cabinet vacancies – State (soon to be filled by Senator John Kerry), Defense (former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel has been nominated), Treasury, Interior, Commerce (currently has an Acting Secretary) and Labor, as well as EPA Administrator. It is unclear if the Administration will announce nominees for these positions individually over time or in one or more groups. A number of people rumored to be under consideration for the US DOT spot may also be potential candidates for other agency leaders. It may be a process of plugging in various names for various vacancies until an acceptable across-the-board team develops. Given the outcry over the lack of diversity in the President’s nominations for the national security posts, it is presumed that diversity will be a key criteria when naming additional nominees. As we know from past presidential nomination efforts, being a subject expert is not always a key criteria. Listed below are a variety of names that have been rumored to be potential replacements for Secretary LaHood. They are grouped by background, not by likelihood of being nominated – some seem very unlikely. However, the nominee could just as easily be someone not currently on the radar screen as was the case when Ray LaHood was nominated at the start of the Obama Administration.
