On the recordFebruary 16, 2017
I thank the gentleman from Iowa. Perhaps this will embarrass you, my colleague, Steve King, but as I was flying into Nebraska last week--and I do this on occasion--I am looking out of the window and looking at the rolling hills of the western edge of Iowa as it borders the Missouri River and all of that beautiful terracing that has been done, all of that extraordinarily productive farmland, in order to save the soil and increase yields, and I wonder how much of that Steve King did himself in a former life. So I am grateful not only for the opportunity but mostly for your friendship.
