Congress is poised to tweak but not overhaul the nation’s crop subsidy system, a decision Indiana’s senior lawmaker says is a mistake and that President Bush promised to veto.

Rep. Mike Pence, R-6th, issued a statement praising provisions in the legislation, saying they “will save Indiana jobs and create new opportunities for Indiana farmers.” But he said he’s undecided on whether to vote for or against the bill. Pence voted against the House version last summer.
