“I rise to thank the conferees of the Fiscal Year 2004 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies Appropriations Bill for their support of a food biotechnology education program. I am aware of the difficult challenges the conferees faced while crafting this bill, and I am pleased that the conferees included language in the conference report that takes us one step closer to full implementation of this program. I would like to specifically thank Chairman Bonilla, Ranking Member Kaptur, Chairman Goodlatte, and Ranking Member Stenholm for their cooperation and assistance during this process. I hope that we can continue to work together to find funding for this much-needed education program.”
