On the recordJuly 31, 2001
Dear Senator Harkin: I am writing to you today to express my support for the comprehensive approach you have taken in drafting the Senate agricultural economic assistance bill. In providing important funds for nutrition and conservation, the agriculture economic assistance package recognizes that the jurisdiction of the Agriculture Committee goes beyond the critically important task of providing economic support for producers of commodities. I urge you to ensure that the bill reported out of the Senate retain these vitally important resources and look forward to working with you to ensure that any bill sent to the President is similarly cognizant of the broad array of issues before the Agriculture Committees of the House and Senate.
