Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Well, my figures show about $15 billion less, so I think agriculture has got a good story to tell there.
Which we said no cap.
the proposed CSP rule--I am getting back to that proposed rule again--would bar the vast majority of producers from participating.
I cannot believe that a 15 percent limitation is any kind of a real onerous limit.
So is the Administration requesting a change then in their budget proposal to reflect what we did?
Is there an attempt by some to kill the suborning--to kill it before it even gets off the ground?
I would not let this opportunity pass without thanking Chairman Bennett for his strong support of conservation programs.

We are now coming up on 2 years since the Farm Bill was passed--2 years--and not one farmer has been signed up in the CSP program.
Take it to the bank--as long as I am here.
