On the recordJanuary 25, 1996
Well, there is a great deal of uncertainty out there among all of the farmers. We have not done a farm bill. There was a welfare bill for big farmers put in the so-called Debt Ceiling Reduction Act that the President vetoed. It is my understanding that that bill, which the President said was one of the reasons he vetoed the provision on agriculture, one of the reasons he vetoed the bill, is going to be basically the same bill, so I have been told, that the Members want to take up in the Committee on Agriculture; and if that is the case, I do not know why we are doing it, because it will be vetoed again. Now, I just do not understand why we continue to do legislation down here that is not going anywhere.
