“I commend her for her hard work and dedication and her leadership on this issue of child nutrition. We have worked extremely hard over the last couple of years on this issue, and when she assumed the chairmanship of the committee, she really put this as a top priority and I think it was the first major piece of legislation we passed out of committee under her leadership. Boy, did she ever work hard to make sure that happened. It is a pleasure always to work with her. She is exactly right. We have actually modified the bill a little, even though it came out of the committee unanimously. It is totally paid for, and we are using existing farm bill money, for the most part, to pay for it. So it is a matter of adjusting priorities within good, solid, agricultural policy. So I thank her for it, and I look forward to this bill ultimately coming to the Senate floor and its passage. I rise today to congratulate the Warner Robins American Little League Softball team on winning the 2009 Little League Softball World Series.”
