cipally against the elimination Of

But neither his determination 70

day he said the administration

chases would be possible under the

was not received with w~holehearted
acclaim One senator said 1t re-

Hyde reaffirmed the contention
that the purpose OF the loan was

could be no prohibition placed on
the borrowers to keep them from
purchasing supplies for their own
