Abstract	Testimony of H.R. 1800, the Rural Area Revitalization Act, and H.R. 2026, the Rural Development Reorganization Act focuses on the need for federal attention to rural problems other than agriculture. The Rural Area Revitalization Act authorizes expansion of capital available for lending in rural areas, a grant program of $25 million per year for business capital and public improvements, and a new grant program to support local private nonprofit and public development agencies in searching out new business opportunities. Finally, the act authorizes a program to explore new ways to provide safe and affordable drinking water supplies to rural communities. The Rural Development Reorganization Act authorizes a survey of all rural programs and suggests transferring them to a new Rural Development Administration, to be created as part of the renamed Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. An office of Advocacy for Rural Development would be formed within the department to explore means of improving rural economies and to join in cooperative agreements with state governments for the same purpose. Rural technology grants proposed would support programs in rural areas to develop and commercialize new products and processes. Counseling and retraining are also to be made available to workers displaced from farming and agriculture related businesses. The hearing record includes testimony from state officials, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, farmers, and representatives of national and state organizations concerned with rural development. The text of this proposed legislation is appended. (DHP)
