Saxby Chambliss: “I would like to ask our friend from Arizona, Mr. Kolbe, the sponsor of this amendment, the gentleman from North Carolina…”

On the recordJune 12, 1996
I would like to ask our friend from Arizona, Mr. Kolbe, the sponsor of this amendment, the gentleman from North Carolina has just reiterated the fact that in our peanut title of the 1996 farm bill there was a reduction in the price from $678 to $610, in excess of 10 percent. Would the gentleman accept an amendment to his amendment which would reduce the price of a candy bar by 10 percent? And would the gentleman also accept an amendment that would put a cap on the price of all candy bars in this country?
