Bobby Rush: “Though, I appreciate the Commission's consideration of this specific concern, this does not match the sweeping reform…”

I certainly want to thank you, Mr. Chairman. This has been a very, very informative hearing, and I thank you for it.

I am absolutely committed to the idea, and the potential, of trying to create a unity of will, a unity of spirit, and a unity of understanding, in terms of the whole cooperative sector of our society.

We on the Agriculture Committee have a special and unique mission to try to help solve the problem of Black farmers in our nation.

I certainly want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for this outstanding hearing this morning.
