“I would just like to ask my distinguished colleague a question. The gentleman is saying that the committee and the freedom to farm bill passed some very important reforms, and I would agree that there have been some reforms made. It is my understanding, and I am trying to understand why he objects, that this amendment, which we are proposing, is just making sure that these reforms, which are an important step in the right direction, are implemented. The question that I have, with these reforms, the prices continuing higher than the $610. My colleague is saying that it is the market. There may be a case to be made that, because the quota is squeezed and the quota is reduced, that continues to push the price up. Maybe there is a faulty administration of the quota system.”
