“This is why we need fast track. Really, it is so very simple. We think of sitting down together as a family and we have a dispute and a problem, and one kid wants one thing, one kid wants another thing, one kid wants another thing, dad wants another thing, mom has another opinion. And we get together and decide, we are going to do this much because Jenny wants it; we are going to do this to consider Don's concerns; we are going to do this to consider the twins' interest, and mom and dad. And we get a package, and we all agree. It is not everything Jennifer wanted. It is not everything Don wanted. It is not everything mom wanted. It is not everything dad wanted. And the twins are kind of miffed because they did not get X, Y, or Z. But they all got something and they all could see that, while they got something, the other member of the family got something; and, so, this agreement was good for everyone. It was not everything anyone wanted, but it was something everybody wanted and would serve everybody's interest. Now, everyone has to commit to that agreement. If they do not commit to that agreement, it falls apart. Well, when we go to negotiate with 10 other countries or 20 other countries about how agriculture products are going to move in the world market, everyone has to trust that everyone at the table means what they say and is going to deliver on the agreement.”
