By Felicity Barringer Washington Post Writer Office of Management and Budget officials, hunting for new' cuts in the federal budget, want the Agriculture Department to stop giving the school lunch program free supplies of surplus butter, cheese and milk and make the and ultimately children's families pay program for the dairy products instead, according to sources in both agencies. The idea, which could mean a budget savings of $300 million, is meeting strong resistance at USDA, where the giveaway program solves two problems simultaneously. Last year, the policy allowed USDA to get rid of about 25 percent of the butter and 20 percent of the cheese it bought under the dairy price support program. It also meant USDA was able to provide the school lunch program with 50 percent more meat, bread, fruit, vegetables and dairy products than it would have been able to contribute otherwise. Right now USDA is trying to figure out how to give away 225 million pounds of surplus cheese before it spoils and the school lunch program is one possible recipient, along with other feeding programs. g According to officials at both agencies, the debate over the dairy giveaway is likely to resurface during deliberations over the fiscal 1983 budget. USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, the agency that administers the school lunch program, announced in Wednesday's Federal Register that if has followed Congress' instructions and cut back contributions of food lo school lunches from about 14.5 cents' worth a meal last year to 11 cents a meal this school year.
