“I hope the Senate will vote to table the Bryan amendment for four reasons: One, we reformed the program and the proceeds do not any longer go to big business; they go to small businesses and cooperatives; two, we have cut this program down from a high of $300 million to about $90 million; three, other countries spend billions of dollars promoting their exports; this is the least we can do; and, four, for every $1 that we put into this Market Access Program, we get back $12 in increased exports. So I hope you will join me in voting to table the Bryan amendment.”
