First, please let me apologize to my family, friends, and staff and fellow Idahoans for the cloud placed over Idaho. I did nothing wrong at the Minneapolis Airport. I did nothing wrong, and I regret the decision to plead guilty and the sadness that decision has brought on my wife, my family, friends, staff, and fellow Idahoans. And for that, I apologize.

We have been demanding to this Senate--and the Senate has passed it several times, it's really a House issue--to stop the processing of downer cows in the food supply.
In that context, do you believe that the rules and regulations that are on the books today, as it relates to how animals are handled and how they're slaughtered, is adequate?
