On the recordSeptember 10, 1998
I just wanted to indicate to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Kingston) that I have been listening to the very eloquent, I think ``plea'' is a fair word to say. In other words, that we are trying to get across what the difficulties are not only for the family farmer but for farming in general. I simply want to say that I believe another speaker had said that there was an appeal being made to individuals who may represent urban areas to understand what the implications are.
