Bobby Rush: “Many of us, Mr. Chairman, still view Russia, among other countries, as a potential threat to the U.S. grid system...”

It's imperative we safeguard both these program titles for our national security and the economic viability of U.S. farmers and ranchers.

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 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.

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