DEBATE - The House proceeded with one hour of debate on the Skeen motion to instruct conferees. The instructions contained in the motion require the managers on the part of the House to insist on the House position on the amendments of the Senate numbered 43 and 80. The House position on Senate amendment No. 43 calls for a funding level of $914 million for FDA salaries and expenses (compared with $755 million in the Senate amendment). The House position on Senate amendment No. 80 calls for $1 million for a Farmers Home Administration program of loan guarantees for multi-family rental housing in rural areas. The Senate sought to delete this provision entirely.
