On the recordApril 14, 1999
I know that all of us have worked with the USDA, and we know that it has scores of programs. And we have heard from our constituents that they want increases in all of these programs. I do not understand how we can both maintain the staffing level at the Farm Service Agency and still honor the request that we have for all of the other programs. I fear by making an across-the-board cut at USDA, that the Farm Service Agency, just like everything else, will be the victim of this cut. And I do not see how we can expect the administration to do any better by FSA with this type of limitation.
