On the recordMay 23, 2006

It is very seldom that we get good news around here, but the purpose of this amendment is the continuation of a program that is a success. Tarleton State University has put together a data mining program in which they have been examining the operations of the crop insurance program. And they have to date saved this country $450 million in waste, fraud and abuse from the crop insurance program. And it is estimated that they have at least prevented the same. Mr. Chairman, this is a good program that returns 22 to 1 on its expenditures.
