Bobby Rush: “I really want to, once again, welcome our witnesses. You brighten up the room here.”

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

I urge the members of this Select Committee to co-sponsor this important legislation and hope to see it passed before the end of the 117th Congress.

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.
