Excerpt from Emergency Agricultural Credit Act of 1983: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Conservation, Credit, and Rural Development of the Committee on Agriculture, House of Representatives, Ninety-Eighth Congress, First Session on H. R. 1190, February 14, 1983, Serial No. 98-2Another perspective which we have talked about with some of you, which the Secretary alluded to last week, there are two funda mental reasons why there is an interest in the economic emergency program. One is the minimum loan size or loan ceiling size.There are two reasons there has been so much interest in the economic emergency loan. One has been the size, the other is the eligibility criteria which keeps some farmers because of the number of employees or whatever, from being eligible for operating loans under current guidelines. If those two problems were taken care of, there would probably be really no need for that program. I would be quick to add, we have strongly opposed that program in the past, would strongly oppose a direct insured program again in that area because we believe that particular law has very poor lending standards when it is compared to our regulation operating loan program.It has led, and there are a number of gao and 16 reports which I think support that, has led to an excessive number of very poor loans that have caused a great deal of trouble for the borrowers that have come out of that program. Frankly, we would prefer not to see it implemented again.Mr. Glickman. Mr. Chairman, one more quick question. Going back to limited resource loans, Mr. Shuman, what percentage of the operating loans do you anticipate in fiscal year 1984 will be limited resource loans? Have you allocated how much you think they are going to be?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
