When other militaries challenge the United States' military might, we invest more dollars, just like we did a few months ago in our military. When the Panama Canal was widened and deepened, we invested more dollars in our ports so we would remain competitive. When other countries have lowered tax rates, we lower ours to make sure that we remain competitive and we can defend our folks. Mr. Chairman, I represent thousands of farmers from Louisiana who depend upon this crop. If we pass this amendment, the precedent that it sets rolling into other types of crops will devastate American farmers. This amendment is a flawed amendment. It is going to undermine our agriculture industry across the United States. I urge opposition.
