Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, due to a district commitment, I was unable to cast five votes today. Had I been present, I would have voted: YEA on Roll Call No. 182, Kelly, PA Amendment No. 3 to H.R. 6192; NAY on Roll Call No. 183, the Motion to Recommit on H.R. 6192; YEA on Roll Call No. 184, Passage of H.R. 6192, Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act; YEA on Roll Call No. 185, Consideration of the Veto Message on H.J. Res. 98, Providing for congressional disapproval of the rule submitted by the National Labor Relations Board relating to ``Standard for Determining Joint Employer Status''; and YEA on Roll Call No. 186, Suspend the rules and pass H.R. 7423, Luke Letlow Post Office Building. ____________________

I am personally committed to ensure that we pass a farm bill that both supports our farmers and producers, and also protects food security for America's households.
Finally, as we look at the farm bill's conservation programs, we must ensure that Title II programs will always be voluntary, incentive-based, producer-first, and locally-led.
I don't know how you balance any budget whatsoever off of that, but I did need to interject that we felt like that was really where all the fat was, with trying to feed hungry people in this country to the tune of $6 a day.
When USDA was created by President Lincoln in 1862, the primary objective of the Department was to 'acquire and to diffuse among the people of the United States useful information on subjects connected with agriculture.'
