Madam President, I think we have another Senator from West Virginia that is ready to speak over here. I want to just close with this. The U.S. Department of Agriculture stands ready to work with farmers and ranchers to assist them with compliance. I will say that again: The U.S. Department of Agriculture stands ready to stand with farmers and ranchers to assist them with compliance. Finally, I think this is a moderate rule that thoughtfully responds to the concerns of farmers and ranchers. I met with Administrator Regan personally. This is not the Trump rule, and this is not the Obama rule. It is a compromise, and I think it is one that deserves to be supported. So I would ask for a vote that is against the measure that is before us today. I yield to the Senator from West Virginia. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from West Virginia.
