...ease a nationwide milk glut, the U.S. Department of Agriculture intends to start paying dairy farmers to sell their herds for export or slaughter and get out of the business. The USDA incentive: up to $22.50 in lieu of each 100 lbs. of milk that the farmer normally would have produced over one year.

House Speaker Tip O'Neill called the President's Grenada visit "a Hollywood kickoff to a greater military involvement in Nicaragua." He warned, "Equipping (the contras) and sending them into battle will lead to nothing but slaughter and humiliation. The shame of that defeat will bring American troops into Nicaragua." Democratic House Majority Leader Jim Wright has hinted that his party is considering reinstituting restrictions on U.S. assistance to rebels in both Angola and Nicaragua...
