We are not looking at any bail-out of the past.

Hunter says Gramm ignores free market.

I do not follow you. I do not understand.

I would like to work with you on that.

But how do we know--and I am going to ask my second question now so you can answer both.

Do you strongly disagree with that?

Not so much to do this for the sake of the industry, but to do it for the sake of the economy of the country, which is hanging in the balance.

Tom Harkin got it right. I second that.

We can't afford another shakeout of family farmers. Then we won't have any left. This is the time to do it.

I am proposing to say, first of all, instead of bringing 30-, 40-unit coal trains a day through downtown Rochester and other places, it would have a devastating affect on the quality of life and the economy.

We will raise heck anyway.

Thank you for all your years of dedicated leadership.

I have introduced legislation in the Senate for biodiesel incentives.

We have to have opportunity for farmers of all sizes, all philosophies, all styles, to be able to compete and exist in the future.

I can certainly say one thing. Somebody used it earlier. I certainly will fight with all of my might with every way I know how to make sure that this farm bill on the Senate side is as strong a piece of legislation as it can be.

I don't have to face anybody's vote for 5-1/2 years, so I just dictate to my conscience and what is best.

I don't oppose the DM&E Railroad. It has got to be structured so that, first of all, it hauls grain commodities rather than coal from Western States through our heartland.

Well said.
