On the recordMay 22, 1998
Speaking to the crop insurance and ag research portions of this bill, Mr. Speaker, the one way we pass this today and ensure its enactment is to pass the conference report, the one adopted by the Senate by 92 votes. The Committee on Rules follows that up. The Chairman's amendment does not cure it. This body has to pass this bill today. And for the majority not to bring the conference report, as unanimously adopted by conference committee and passed in the Senate to this body, is a slap in the face to rural America and every Member representing rural America.
