Doug LaMalfa: “So we really need one-stop shopping, and we should be able to entrust Army Corps to do that.”

Farmers like the current conservation programs that are out there, EQIP and the others, but this new one here is going to require them to jump through hoops in order to maybe be competitive or not.

The tradition of buffalo is very strong in New Mexico, so I am glad to see this legislation before us once again.

We should pass this bill because the Indian people need it but also as a tribute to our dear friend Don Young.

I also want to express our deep appreciation to Congressman Doug LaMalfa as the prime sponsor of this bill.
