Jesse Helms Weighing Farm Bill

(Original Caption) Washington: As Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole watches, Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, samples the weight-a mere 13 pounds-of the farm bill legislation passed by the House. The Senate will now consider the bill, a five-year measure that would fight increasing foreign competition by lowering U.S. crop prices and have U.S. taxpayers pick up the difference.
