m. 15-Un progress on the farm bill and no further definite concessions on he part of the administration. I find iit very difficult to understand this administration's wii'limgne-3 to support generous assistance to other groups and to deny it to our largest industry: agriculture. Joist yesterday the House voted overwhelmingly, and with strong Republican support, to embark upon a tremendous program of subsidized ocean shipping. I recognize -that if American sestmen are to enjoy an American standard, of living we must subsidize these vessels and I voted for bill.

It seems to me that exactly the same reasoning which justifies support for this merchant shipping would justify support by the government of agricultural production. Of much more far-reaching importance was the vote yesterday on an increase in Social Security payments by about five percent and increasing Social Security taxes ito pay the bill in the future. This bill also shifted from federal 'government a very substantial obligation in connection with medicaid. There is much argument as to exactly the effect of this shift. I do not want to have federal government 'assume all the obligations incident to 'the care of all of our people Who reside in nursing homes or homes for the aged, but on the other hand, I don't want the government to throw out needy people who have returned from our hospitals and can be much, more cheaply cared for fan nursing homes.

The advocates of this 'change say that the state will pick up the talb. I think this is clearly impossible in Texas without a Constitutional A A ment which means the Legislature would have to meet, submit amendment for a vote of the people, and then have another session of the Legislature to implement it. I thought entitled ito a clear explanation by the 'members of the Ways and Means Committee which presented this bill and that we were then entitled to have the 'Opportunity if it seemed proper to amend the bill. Instead, the Ways and 'Means Committee asked, and secured, a "closed rule" providing no amendments. I voted against the dosed rule, but it was adopted; I then voted against the entire bill.

I know that it has come believe that if the committee is going to deny us the opportunity to change anything ithey bring out that we should aiccept their handwork with- cait question. This is a bad legislative 'practice and one about which have complained many times in the past. This same Social Security provides an escalation clause for both payments and taxes as the cost of living goes up. This was placed in the bill at -the (Specific instigation of Republican leadership. I think this concept has jmuch validity but I wonder how they can reconcile it with ilhtir refusal (to provide the same kind of esca'i-a'tlon of farm supports as the cost of living and of the things farm- sis have to buy goes up.

The case so clear that I have felt we ought to withhold action on the Farm Bill in the hope that the Republican leadership will extend to agriculture the same kind of treatment they supported for Social Security beneficiaries.
