Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 15, 1998
with some reluctance, I oppose the amendment offered by the distinguished Senator from Nebraska. I do so because the industry is not for this amendment. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association has written a letter in opposition to the amendment. And just one word of that letter says the following. They refer to the Daschle amendment. This is the same amendment dealing with mandatory live cattle price reporting: These amendments are not fair and equitable to beef producers, and many of these provisions are counter to our producers' policies.
