Thank you all for coming the distance you have come here today, and for fighting back, and for not just taking it sitting down.

the partisan rhetoric just doesn't help a whole lot with that.

So how can you justify people from stopping at a rest stop or a turnout on a State highway?

I just don't understand the obstructionism.

it seems to me kind of naive, with some of the placement here.

Some have suggested that the way to 'fix' the special entity sub-threshold is for the CFTC to lower the de minimis registration threshold for the entire energy swaps marketplace to $25 million.

I believe that lowering the de minimis threshold for all energy swaps to $25 million would negate the explicit Congressional directive to exclude end-users from the new regulatory requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act.

I think the bill could still be supportable if there was a commitment that the land involved would not be one that would be involved in gaming.

this measure I think is very key to keep... the peace but keep those agreements.

So it is LaMalfa, okay?

I want to ask on this panel here with the Pest and Disease Management Program that has been in place a few years, how do you feel that that has helped in your area, in your industry during that time?

what more could we be doing with the vast amount of imports that seem to be coming into this country here as far as looking at the food safety or the pesticide especially on that?
