One TAA provision authorizes a new\n$90 million annual program for agriculture, aimed at addressing low farm prices caused at least\npartly by imports. Among the issues is the need for a new program designed specifically for farmers\nin ranchers, particularly after Congressional approval, earlier in 2002, of a comprehensive 6-year\nfarm bill that significantly expands farm commodity support.
