On the recordFebruary 6, 2002
In discussions with the Senator from Montana, he has obviously raised some good points. Part of the bill addresses some of the problems already. I refer to page 213 of the bill, section 212. We provide for a study on economic effects regarding the Conservation Reserve Program. Our staffs are going to work together to develop further language, as I understand, that could be added to this section to for additional studies in the area that the Senator from Montana is concerned about, but that would not have a budget scoring implication. We will work together with the staff of the Senator to try to develop that language.
