“I serve a great deal of cattle people, and this debate seems like it doesn't even appear on this side of the aisle to be concerned about the United States cattle people. They are going through the lowest prices they have seen in years, the droughts. It seems like there is no concern about that. I think the men and women on our side of the aisle have a concern. We cannot ignore the fact that we are in a global, competitive economy. I do not think anyone out there will deny that fact. We are not going to go back to an isolated country. Let me say if we are going to be a leader in the world, in the world economy, and I want to, I want our country to use the initiatives, the free enterprise system, and be that leader out there in the economy, because we owe it to our children and we owe it to our grandchildren not to shirk our duty, but let us go out and lead. I come to the floor to express my strong support for H.R. 4761 because today we have a blatant abuse and we have a sham, and yes, the sneak attacks we have heard, but it is being conducted by the European Union.”
