Ullman charges partisan
politicing on grain
reserve bill
Oregon Congressman Al
Ullman, last Friday charged
that "partisan politicking" on
the part of House Republicans
blocked House consideration
and final passage Thursday of
a bill which would have raised
prices for hard-pressed grain
farmers in the Pacific North
west. The bill (H.R. 3765) would
have raised price supports for
grain placed in a farmer
owned reserve and also would
have designated 4 million tons
of wheat, currently owned by
the government, as a food
security stockpile to meet
future emergency needs in
developing countries.
The legislation was approv
ed by the Senate late Wednes
day night. Working with Rep.
Tom Foley, D-Washington,
Chairman of the House Agri
culture Committee. Ullman
and other Democrats moved
through the only procedure
available in the hours prior to
adjournment Thursday, Octo
ber 2, and asked unanimous
consent for consideration of

Land Management is distrib
uting $103,425,423 for 1980
under the Payments in Lieu of
Taxes Act. The proposed
fiscal year 1981 appropriation
now stands at $86 million.
States receiving the largest
PILT payments this year are
California $12.7 million. New
Mexico $9.5 million. Utah $8.1
million, and Montana $8.0
million. Rhode Island will get
$1,475.
Other BLM revenues that
are shared with local govern
ments include: 50 percent of
mineral leasing receipts goes
to the States: 50 percent of
receipts from revested OAC
Railroad grant lands goes to
western Oregon counties, 50
percent of proceeds from
"Section 15" grazing lands
goes to the States for the
counties involved, and 12"
percent of the proceeds from
"Section 3" grazing lands goes
to the States for the counties
involved. Another 50 percent
of grazing receipts is approp
riated for BLM to use in
rangeland betterment.

federal fiscal year ends on
September 30.
the bill on the House floor.
Republican members object
ed, and that blocked any
consideration of the measure.
. "Passage of this bill would
have given wheat growers and
others welcome help by mak
ing it more attractive for
farmers to store crops while
the market improves," Ull
man explained. "It also would
have meant supply and price
stability for consumers in the
months ahead.
"I am keenly disappointed
that partisan political con
siderations blocked House
consideration of the bill. The
Northwest is one of the two
areas of the country that
would have benefited most. In
their effort to deny the Carter
Administration a victory.
House Republicans have hurt
our region severely," he
added.
Ullman said he will work
with Chairman Foley "to do
everything possible to pass the
bill" when Congress returns
for its post election session in
November.
