Edwards had failed to make public a contract which the Energy Department is negotiating with a major oil company “Our subcommittee is responsible for making sure that taxpayers' money is not being wasted in the area of energy . Fithian said “Our investigation has raised questions about the Energy Department's contract with Union Oil Company We are citing Secretary Edwards for contempt because this is the onlyway to force the contract into the open before it is signed." The Environment, Energy and National Resources Subcommitee of the Government Operations Committee charged the disputed contract would pay Union Oil $3 per barrel above the current market price for oil. The oil company would produce 10.000 barrels of oil daily for the Defense Department under the contract The energy sub committee charged it needed contract documents to assess how much, if any, of the daily

Pres. Reagan proclaims Farm Safety Week

President Ronald Reagan has proclaimed the week of July 25-31 National Farm Safety Week The proclamation reaffirms the need for continuing efforts to reduce accident losses that impair agricultural producers. The President urges all persons engaged in farming and ranching and all persons and organizations allied with agriculture to redouble their personal and group efforts for farm. home, recreation and highway safety Co-sponsored by the National Safety Council and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Farm Safety Week is supported by many organizations serving agriculture. The President said. “American farmers and ranchers are at the core of our nation’s economy, providing food not only for our own people, but for millions of others around the world. Yet we must not take the miracle of American agricultural abundance for granted. An unacceptable number of farm accidents cripples people and threatens production Last year, nearly 400,000 formers and ranchers were injured or killed in accidents at work. at home, during recreation or on roads. “Powerful equipment, chemicals and variable working conditions are potential agricultural hazards, but safe

Producers placing wheat in the reserve will receive annual storage payments of 264 cents per bushel, payable in advance. Block said. While interest on the loan will be charged during the first year the wheat is in the reserve, interest will be waived during the second and subsequent years of the reserve loan program. Block said. The current CCC loan interest rate is 144 per cent. Under this program, farmers agree to keep their wheat in reserve until the national fiveday moving average market price for wheat is at or about the reserve trigger release level of $4.65 per bushel, or until the 3year reserve loan matures. When the release level is triggered, farmers may take their grain out of the reserve without penalty. If the market price continues above the trigger level after the initial release period (the remainder of the month in which

$30,000 oil payment above the market price was justified. "If we are serious about protecting the taxpayers' money, we need to inspect the promises of bureaucrats before contracts like this are signed." Fithian said "Once they become law. there is nothing the subcommittee or the Congress can do to change them.' ’ Three Indiana Congressmen serve on the ten-member subcommittee They are Fithian. Joel Deckard (R-Bth» and John Hiler (R-3rd Fithian praised Deckard for voting to cite the energy secretary for contempt after trying unsuccessfully to work out a compromise between the Administration and the subcommittee Hiler voted not to cite the secretary for contempt If approved, the citation would then go before the full House of Representatives Contempt of Congress is punishable by SIOO to SI,OOO fine and six months to one year in prison "If the secretary of energyhands the contract documents over to Congress for public inspection. I would favor dropping the contempt charges," Fithian said “The subcommittee has nothing against Secretary Edwards. But American people

certified and eligible for program benefits. Strombeck says disaster provisions of the program cover both low yield and prevented planting conditions and authorize payments to help farmers whose crops are severely damaged by weather conditions. “To avoid eligibility problems, farmers should report crop acres as accurately as possible Farms will be randomly checked to verify that the reports are correct and aerial photogrpahs will be available for farmers to identify their fields.” the ASCS official said Farmers who have elected to have part of their crop insurance premium paid by the federal crop insurance corporation for a program crop will not be eligible for disaster benefits on that crop.

work practices, protective equipment and other measures can minimize the risks. Special vigilance by the agricultural community is also necessary to reduce the toll of off-the-job injuries." The 1961 theme for Farm Safety Week is “Enjoy Life — Safely.” As leisure-time accidents are frequently responsible for serious and sometimes fatal injuries, the National Safety Council and USDA are urging people to make safety an integral part of all of their leisure acti vi tics National Farm Safety Week has been held during the latter part of July since 1944. Beginning next year, the annual observance will be moved to the third full week in September. The 1982 dates will be September 19-25 and in 1983. September 18-24.

release is triggered plus one additional month), farmers will stop earning storage payments. Interest changes, if previouslystopped, will resume. Although the call level for 1981crop wheat is also $4.65 per bushel, Block said that only under an “extreme emergency” would he require farmers to take their grain out of the reserve when the call level is reached. Earlier crop wheat now in other farmer-held reserves maybe transferred into this new wheat reserve. Block said. Wheat in these older loans may not be held in the reserve for more than five years from the date the commodity was first placed in reserve, he said. Current legislation provides that the maximum number of bushels of wheat in all farmerheld reserves at any one time is 700 million bushels. As of July 1 reserve wheat totaled 360 million bushels
