On the recordApril 23, 1997
Right. It is just not fair. We should be proud of a lot we did with this farm bill last year. We made some historic changes with farm programs that went back all the way to the 1930s. It was a really historic change. Unfortunately, the only program that was not changed, basically, was sugar. All the other products, whether it is peanuts or dairy, had some really major changes. But not sugar. And it was unfortunate. So, hopefully, we are going to continue to address that issue in this Congress and see some results, maybe.
