On the recordMarch 27, 1996
all my life, before and during my last quarter of a century of continuous high service as either the Governor of Nebraska or the last 18 years as a Member of the U.S. Senate, having the great honor of representing the great State of Nebraska, there can be no question--and the record will show--that I have been an outspoken supporter of farm legislation, farmers, and what is good for rural America. With that background, I simply want to say about the farm bill that will pass tomorrow, without my support--it will pass, the die is cast, it is all over--but we cannot allow this to go forward without reviewing once again many of the concerns that myself and others from the Farm Belt have with regard to this legislation. ... obviously, I say, as a farm supporter all my life, this conference report is a sham as far as sound agricultural policy is concerned, and it is a sham as far as the taxpayers are concerned.
