      abstract = {Authority for many of the agricultural and food related  programs of the Department of Agriculture are contained in  the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977. Most provisions of  the 1977 Act expire with the 1981 crop, including those  used to develop and implement price and income support  programs for grains, cotton, soybeans, sugar, wool, and  dairy products. Authorities for the Food Stamp and P.L. 480  programs also expire in the fall of 1981. Should the 1977  Act not be extended or replaced by the Congress, some  program authorities would continue but in substantially  altered form. The authority for these programs would be to  so-called permanent legislation. This paper develops a  comparison of program authorities under the 1977 Act and  those that would be used under permanent legislation.},
