On the recordFebruary 7, 1996
I hope the Senator from Utah and the Senator from Idaho might let us have hearings on it. It might have a lot of merit. I think rather than press it to a vote and lose, it might be preferable to have a hearing in the Agriculture Committee and the Nutrition Subcommittee. I am happy to be there if that would help.
