I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. King).

This effort saw UNESCO admit the nonexistent state of Palestine to its membership and then shortly after saw the U.N. upgrade the Palestinian status to nonmember observer status.

If Iran is the number-one threat facing Israel--threat 1A is Hezbollah, Hamas and all of the terror groups just on its borders--then threat 1B has to be the ongoing efforts by Abu Mazen and the Palestinian leadership to delegitimize and…

The Obama administration should be using the leverage we have over the Palestinian Authority to press it to stop the incitement and work with Israel to promote peace.

The Federal Government just needs to get out of your way and help open up your markets.

We want good trade, and it is so important that we have that.

I disagree with your comments about the Uruguay Six.

I think that argument is very weak and we shouldn't even talk about that.

Those are the things that if we can change them and enforce it, it would stop that magnet and that pool of people saying, hey, don't worry about it, man.

Why would they allow people to leave those H-1B visa that the farmer goes through to accomplish to get that person here legally?

I disagree with Mr. Trump wanting to build a wall. I don't think we need that.

What we are seeing, in my opinion, is it is an overreach of the Federal Government regulation that is solving a problem that is not really at the root of the problem.

The research I have read--I am a veterinarian by trade, and I have practiced for 30 years, food animal production specifically.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I appreciate it.

As we increase more coverage to different crops, the specialty crops, like blueberries in my state, when it first came out it covered five counties.

It seems to be out of step with the science-based regulatory approach followed by the U.S.

I would implore you to do that.

If there is an agency that is blocking you, like the EPA, that is preventing you from doing that, instead of you being the bad guy, come to this Committee.
