Thank you very much for yielding. And we didn't give it enough money to do that.

They didn't consult with us. That's wrong, and that shouldn't be done. But it's a good compromise bill. It's good. It means food for Americans; it means certainty for our farmers. It means help for the hungry around the world. I ask my colleagues to support it.
