“I wish I could have been in his economics class. I would have said ``amen'' to everything he said except his initial supposition. His initial supposition was that we are trying to change the name of catfish. His initial supposition was there is no difference between a channel catfish and a basa catfish, that they are all catfish so just sell them as catfish. After all, we do not want to change, we don't want to get the truth. His basic supposition was wrong. And following everything after that initial supposition, you come to the wrong conclusion. He said: Nobody cares about the consumer. What is best for the consumer? Why isn't somebody asking about the consumer? Let me just this one time associate myself with the Senator from Iowa. I am concerned about the consumer. I am concerned about what the consumer is going to consume, what he is going to eat. Doesn't he have a right to know whether he is getting Vietnamese basa or he is getting channel catfish? He ought to have the right to know that when he goes in that restaurant, that when they are selling it as channel catfish that it is, in fact, channel catfish. The Senator from Texas, in great eloquence and great entertainment, said what we want is protection. I don't want protection. I want honesty. I want truth. I want fairness. At some point a name has to mean something.”
