House and Senate Move Toward Farm Bill Vote in Upcoming Week

WASHINGTON-(WashingtonView)--The House and Senate Conference Committee on the Farm Bill has reached an agreement which is moving toward a final vote next week in the House and Senate.

As of late Thursday, May 8, the President has made clear he will veto the bill in its present form.

While Senate leaders believe they have a veto-proof majority, House members say a lot of work needs to be done to get the two-thirds majority to overide the President's veto if it comes to that.
