On the recordDecember 11, 2018
very quickly, I want to add to the remarks of my distinguished ranking member, Senator Stabenow, on the sometimes powerful Senate Agriculture Committee, and I associate myself with her remarks. In a moment or two, we are going to go to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, for which he had positive contributions. We wouldn't have been able to pass a bill without bipartisan support, which he stressed in his last message to the Senate. Joe, thank you for being a friend, and thank you for being a great colleague, and thank you for being such a great member of the farmers, ranchers, and growers in Indiana. You have done a good job. We will certainly miss you. Mr. President, I think we have to ask unanimous consent to give an additional 10 minutes to the distinguished ranking member and me to make remarks prior to the vote on the farm bill. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Michigan. H.R. 2
