Republican Study Conference issues new budget savings targets.

The article presents information on "RSC FY 2007 Budget: Contract with America Renewed," the report prepared by the Republican Study Conference (RSC) in the U.S. The RSC budget plan seeks to reform agricultural production programs and to eliminate the Market Access and Foreign Market Development Programs. Since the federal government spent 49 percent more than it did in 1995, the RSC would majorly decrease or omit funding for many agricultural programs and agencies. It would also reduce the budget of the secretary of agriculture by 10 percent.
