“The conference committee report is a good report. It is a good deal. The compromises have been made. And frankly, as a member of the Committee on Agriculture, the reason we got to the compromises is because the food stamp program allowed for savings. That is where the money comes from. I want to applaud the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Smith) and the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Combest) for the work they have done. We have had a great bill. We all agree on it. There is no objection to it. Unanimous support in the Senate. And it comes over here and now we are going to try to screw it all up with a lousy rule. We have got to defeat the rule and support the conference committee report unamended.”
