Speech #990147558

I guess you could start from near the end of the session and go backward or forward. Passage of the 1985 farm bill. which not only makes major reforms in Federal farm policy. but gives farmers across the Nation a sense of certainty and continuity essential to their lives and livelihoods. is chief among them. Once again. the Senate passed landmark immigration legislation overhauling our antiquated and inadequate laws governing immigration policy. The Senate grappled with other large issues of the daythe nuclear arms race through the MX and SALT debate. aid to the Nicaraguan rebels. Mideast policy in the Jordanian arms sale. and apartheid in the South Africa economic sanctions bill.
