Dear Chairman Skeen: I have received your written opposition to the proposed amendment to allow the usage of FINPACK by Minnesota FSA offices. We have researched this issue, and wish to respond to those points as follows: 1. ``FSA is only terminating the use of 44 pieces of FINPACK software in FSA offices in Minnesota in order to facilitate a common computing environment for all FSA offices beginning October 1, 2000.'' Minnesota FSA field staff who work with farm loans (MN Association of Credit Supervisors, NACS) have unanimously asked for the ability to continue to use FINPACK. The National Association of Credit Supervisors, NACS (the employee organization for FSA employees previously part of FmHA) have passed a resolution supporting the continued use of FINPACK by MN FSA. Several hundred lenders, educators and borrowers in MN have contacted congressional offices asking that MN FSA be allowed to continue to use FINPACK.
