On the recordJune 5, 2003
I want to make sure Senators understand exactly what we do. We increase the credit to 2.5 gallons if the ethanol is made from agricultural residue. It is giving an incentive to our farmers who produce rice, wheat, barley, oats, sugar beets, and others, an incentive to use the waste. I was going to have a rollcall vote on this, but given the assurances of Senators Domenici and Bingaman, who have stated very clearly and have told me they will not drop this amendment in conference--can I rely on that commitment? I ask both my friends one more time.
