Doug LaMalfa: “For me it comes down to what provides the most freedom.”

But it shouldn't require you having to come hat in hand to this place and ask a Congress Member to run a bill so you can purchase a piece of land that might be surplus already to the government.

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

It just seems, about the only thing that we hear about, in committee, on the floor, is CO2, climate change, all the time--hounded, hounded, hounded.

We greatly appreciate the leadership of Representative Fischbach, Representative LaMalfa and Representative Thompson for the introduction of the HEN Act.
