I think that this is a problem. And I think Mr. Kind has a way of looking at trying to remove the money, but it's not going to make the problem go away. I agree that this is a thing that needs to be addressed because there's going to be retaliatory implications if this money is just pulled, and those retaliatory implications are unknown to an awful lot of other agriculture who may even support this amendment. So it is an idea that we need to address. This is not the place to address it. I oppose the amendment.
