On the recordFebruary 7, 1996
I would like to bring a matter to the attention of the chairman regarding agriculture research. While it does not require a legislative provision, I believe it deserves some attention by the Department of Agriculture, and it seems appropriate to discuss while we are talking about the farm bill. Is it the chairman's understanding that the Department of Agriculture has an interest in eradicating livestock diseases, and also has funded research and other programs for the purposes of researching, controlling, and eradicating disease over the years?
