Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I certainly appreciate the ability to be here today. Appreciate the leadership of many on this committee.

Do you not think that is censorship?

I am worried about South Korea restricting imports of our beef, current restrictions on meat going into Russia.

I think, Mr. Chairman, if we might have time at the end I would like to ask a couple more follow-up questions.

I agree. We do have a tool--frustration from folks that actually raise our ag exports as how long it takes.

I have not seen the objectives. I mean, do you have a list of those?

I think everybody in the room thought that's the silliest thing we have ever heard.

I had a business in Solana, Kansas. They were noted in the local paper, on July 1st they made their changes. What a mistake. On July 2nd, the president said, 'Just kidding.'

I appreciate that perspective, but what we have seen with the Affordable Care Act, that is not necessary to make the changes from this administration.

Do you think it is effective to start the rule and then proceed with a study to determine whether it is really needed or not?

I appreciate having this hearing today. This is an important issue to a number of my constituents.
