I believe we should put farm subsidies on the table. And that's why in this bill we have included cuts to very popular agriculture red state, if you will, programs, rural development, the Farm Service Agencies, and the NRCS. All kinds of conservation programs are cut in this. However, there are a number of traditional farm programs that we are going to let the ag authorizing committee deal with, because that's where they need to be dealt with. So I want to say this. While I oppose the gentleman's amendment, I don't oppose you seeking a reduction to the subsidies. But we believe that this has to be dealt with in the farm bill. And I look forward to working with you and the chairman of the Agriculture Committee on that when it comes.
