SEC. 2. LIFTING OF CAPS ON LOAN RATES FOR MARKETING
ASSISTANCE LOANS FOR 1998 CROPS OF
LOAN COMMODITIES.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress hereby finds the following:
(1) Low commodity prices, adverse weather
conditions, and declining world economies have cre-
ated severe economic hardships for farmers and
ranchers in many parts of the United States.
(2) A Federal agriculture program oriented to-
ward planting flexibility and a market-driven price
structure is desirable.
(3) Until free, fair, and open agricultural trade
is established and market opportunities for United
States agricultural products are secured, additional
assistance to farmers and ranchers in the United
States is necessary to ensure the viability of the
American agricultural economy.
(4) Removal for the 1998 crop year of the caps
imposed on nonrecourse marketing assistance loans
provided to producers under subtitle C of the Agri-
cultural Market Transition Act (7 U.S.C. 7231 et
seq.) would be a direct and targeted response to the
severe economic hardships being experienced by
America’s farmers and ranchers and would provide
them with additional income needed to maintain the
viability of the agricultural economy in the United
States.
(b) SPECIAL RULE FOR 1998 CROPS.—Section 132
of the Agricultural Market Transition Act (7 U.S.C. 7232)
is amended by adding at the end the following new sub-
section:
‘‘(g) LIFTING OF CAPS FOR 1998 CROPS.—The cap
specified in this section on the loan rate for a marketing
assistance loan for a loan commodity shall not apply with
respect to the 1998 crop of that commodity. With respect
to the 1998 crop of rice, the Secretary may establish a
loan rate in excess of the rate specified in subsection (e).’’.
(c) RETROACTIVE APPLICATION.—The amendment
made by this section shall apply with respect to the 1998
crop of each loan commodity (as defined in section
102(10) of the Agricultural Market Transition Act (7
U.S.C. 7202(10))) whether or not marketing assistance
loans or loan deficiency payments have already been made
for that crop under subtitle C of that Act (7 U.S.C. 7231
et seq.). The Secretary of Agriculture shall adjust market-
ing assistance loans or loan deficiency payments previously
made for the 1998 crop to reflect the amendment.

Whereas thousands of meals on wheels programs under the

Whereas meals on wheels programs are proven and effective
