As the Ranking Member of the Commodities, Risk Management, and Trade Subcommittee I am pleased that we are holding this producer prospective on the farm safety net hearing.

We need to make sure that we have a farm bill that supports not only farmers but also the people that are in a part of their life where they need a hand up

It is critical that we hear from producers directly to better understand their unique perspective and their needs.

Any proposal to decrease farm safety net resources are misguided and would not result in saving taxpayer dollars in the long run.

These challenges can have a significant impact on the viability of the American farmers, many of which operate on thin profit margins.

Thank you, Secretary Granholm, for your willingness to be here and appearing before the Committee.

It is deeply frustrating that the subcommittee is being told--six years after a statutory deadline--that it will be another year before FDA issues a final rule on medical gases.

In making its decision to eliminate the in-person dispensing requirement, none of the studies the FDA cited, which were largely conducted by abortion activists, studied the drugs under the new no-test tele-abortion regime.

The law also requires the FDA to respond to petitions within a 180 days, but the FDA waited roughly 14 years and nearly 3 years to respond to citizens' petitions challenging FDA approval and deregulation of chemical abortion drugs.

My main concern is an ectopic pregnancy that if the baby is not positioned which is deadly, or if she's further along that she's saying that she is.

So the FDA, it's more of a legal issue of the procedure that happened than a safety issue of determining what drug is safe.
