John B. Breaux: “My colleagues, I would say the amendment of the Senator from New Hampshire knocks out all the reforms in the sugar…”

On the recordFebruary 7, 1996
My colleagues, I would say the amendment of the Senator from New Hampshire knocks out all the reforms in the sugar program, which are substantial. He wants to make, I think, the program as bad as it possibly can be. Voting against that amendment preserves the reforms that are in the legislation.
