On the recordJuly 26, 2007
I can't say enough good things about the wonderful work he has done as chairman of this committee. He can be forever proud of the way he has brought the real bill together. It is an interesting thing that the people that have risen in support of the Kind amendment, which I oppose, none of them serve on the committee. None of them have recognized that the committee bill passed by unanimous consent out of the committee. That, in and of itself, is enough for us to support the committee bill. The only reason for a farm bill and to have farm and food policy is to ensure adequate production and processing capacity so that the American people have enough to eat and clothes on their back. The committee bill does this; the Kind amendment destroys that safety net that has made that possible.
