Tom Latham: “McDonald's does not get a dime of money, Tyson Food does not get a dime of money, the Sunkist Corporation does not get a…”

On the recordJuly 10, 2000
McDonald's does not get a dime of money, Tyson Food does not get a dime of money, the Sunkist Corporation does not get a dime of money. That is old news. As I mentioned earlier, this has been reformed. The only thing we are promoting here are the products themselves. No brand names. No corporate brand names. So that argument is totally bogus. I want every Member to understand that. This promotion goes to promote pork, to promote eggs, to promote beef, soybeans, corn, whatever. There is no McDonald's, there is no Sunkist, there is no Tyson. And for someone to say that is totally erroneous, and I want to just clarify that for the House.
