On the recordMay 19, 2004
The provision in the Senate-passed budget resolution concerning the farm payment limitation is not included in the conference version. Any major changes to farm payment limits or any other agricultural policies should be addressed by the Agriculture Committee which has jurisdiction over these issues. While the House passed budget resolution, H. Con. Res. 393, included $371 million over five years in reconciliation instructions for the Agriculture Committee, these instructions, which were never intended to reduce critical farm commodity support programs, are not included in the conference agreement.

Yes, they are. In fact, we put into the budget an emergency reserve fund for the purpose of funding that war, the same way Mr. Spratt does, the exact same amount.
