U.S. SENATE GROUP URGES SUBSIDIES FOR USSR
A majority of the Senate Agriculture
Committee urged President Reagan to reverse his opposition to
export subsidies to the Soviet Union as a way to get its
negotiators to purchase some 500 mln dlrs in American wheat.
    The group, led by committee chairman Patrick Leahy, a
Vermont Democrat, urged Reagan to step up negotiations with the
Soviet Union by providing export subsidies to help U.S.
farmers.
