Thad Cochran actually said...

I'm fresh back from a trip to my State, where I had the pleasure of cutting a ribbon at Columbus Air Force Base for a new facility.

I would like to thank the witnesses, and the men and women they represent, for their service and their leadership.

I am impressed with what we have heard this morning, particularly with respect to food safety issues.

You are off to a good start and we appreciate that good effort.
