maybe sometimes too much control and ability to have it their own way instead of having it the people's way. So hopefully in the future it will change. Earlier I used the word ``arrogant'' in describing the disregard of conferees to seriously consider and look at and, at least in part, put in the will of the delegation. I saw in one of our leading newspapers a quote about two brothers producing sugar benefit in excess of $400 million, I think that was a year, from the production program that we have for sugar. Here again, we want our sugar beet farmers to survive and our sugarcane farmers to survive, but when it goes to $400 million to a set of brothers probably does not help our average farmer very much. The gentleman from Florida (Mr. Miller) has been a leader in trying to get some equity in trying to keep some industry that is related to sugar in the United States, and I yield to the gentleman.
