Peter Roskam: “I thank my friend for yielding. As the gentleman knows, the farm bill…”

On the recordJuly 19, 2012

I thank my friend for yielding. As the gentleman knows, the farm bill has created a lot of concern on our side of the aisle. It's my understanding that there is concern on the gentleman's side of the aisle. Your ranking member supports the bill. It's my understanding that Leader Pelosi does not support the bill. So we're in conversation with our Members, as I'm sure you are with yours; and we're not prepared to make an announcement today in light of continuing to get Member feedback.
