I would adamantly disagree with one of the gentleman's characterizations of the provision, both in his statement relative to the Agriculture bill as well as to his statement just made now relative to his use of the word 'specifically.' They do not reflect our agreement with the statutory language that is now contained in the Agriculture bill and in this bill. I would note for the Record that the word 'specifically' is not used in terms of authorization in the bill language in this legislation.
