...production and planted to grass or trees). During a "transition period," while Operation Consume plus the expanded conservation reserve gradually cut back surpluses, Nixon would use a combination of price supports and acreage controls to cope with major problem crops such as wheat-a Democratic-style program of the type that Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson opposes.* But once markets for farm products "achieve a new buoyancy," Nixon would shift to a Benson-style support program with no production controls, and support levels "based on the average of market prices over the immediately preceding crop years...

Air pollution is no respecter of size; more than 10,000 U.S. communities are afflicted to some degree. Most U.S. smog is of the eye-irritating "Los Angeles type," composed primarily of nitrous oxides and petroleum products loosely known as hydrocarbons, much of it traceable directly to automobile exhausts. Every day in the Los Angeles basin, more than 12,500 tons of pollutants are discharged (80% by autos) into the air-and without the city's severe industrial controls, the daily...
