SENATE FAMILY FARMS-By a vote of 46 for and 34 against, the Senate tabled (killed) an amendment requiring President Reagan to provide the public with a report on his plans for easing the family farm's credit, export and income problems. Sought by Democrats, the report was to have been issued in ad vance of the November presidential election. The vote occurred during debate on toe fiscal 1985 Agriculture Department ap propriations bill (HR 5743) that later was sent to conference with the House.

TARGET PRICES-By a vote of 66 for and 25 against, the Senate tabled (killed) an amendment to raise the 'target price" for wheat and feed grains such as corn to the level specified in the 1961 farm bill.

Sponsors wanted to nullify the wheat and feed grain portions a new law that freezes or lowers the target price for many major commodities beginning in 1965. All taxpayers are affected by the congressionally set target price for a crop, because they supply the difference beteween it and the lower market price. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., said the amendment would cost the Treasury $1.6 billion annually. James Exon, D-Neb., who sponsored the amendment, called the cost "small compared to bailouts and deals we have provided financial institutions, manufacturers and foreign nations." Senators voting no sought higher government subsidies of wheat and feed grain growers. IL-Dixon verted yes. Percy voted yes. County Republicans kick off voters registration drive SOME JUSTICE LOOKING PROGS? 25 Public pulse By Kirk Birginal Plaindealer News Service A spirited gathering of McHenry County Republicans heard last Thursday that this year's presidential election will be one of the most aggressive ever waged by the county GOP. About 150 committeemen and volunteers converged on Old Towne Hall in Crystal Lake to watch Ronald Reagan on television as he accepted the GOP nomination and kick off a massive voter registration drive to sign up 20,000 eligible voters in the county. "What we do between tonight and Nov. 9 probably will have more impact on who carries this state than anything that comes after," said State Sen. Jack Schaffer, R-Cary. Reagan strategists consider Illinois one of the most im portant elements in the president's re-election game plan. A statewide registration effort is an attempt to offset a massive Chicago Democrat sign-up drive aimed at registering minorities. "Well be concentrating as never before on registering voters in areas like McHenry County, then working to get them out to vote," Schaffer said. "We're going to have one of the more aggressive campaigns in this county than we've ever had before." "Talking with Senator Schaffer, we've picked out about a third of the county that will be considered key places to go. We've looked at subdivisions, apartment complexes and condos-areas with high tur nover," Jourdan said. Responds to remarks for the City of McHenry, Mr. Narusis is not required to submit such a statement, except as it might be required by the mayor. However, at the very least, the publication of his monetary, professional and personal associations would tend to allay any suspicions or inferences of cronyism or conflicts of interest as they relate to the government of the City of McHenry. Dear Editor: "The published partisan comments of Mr. Bernard Narusis concerning the financial problems of Geraldine Ferraro were most interesting. Without probing the merits or demerits of Ms. Ferraro's vice- presidential ambitions, her current campaign plight has resulted from the publication of a statement public disclosure required by her candidacy. "Judging from his critiques and analysis of her statement, Mr. Narusis displays great appreciation and enthusiasm for such disclosures. I can only assume that this presages the publication, of a statement detailing his own finances and associations.
