On the recordMay 12, 1995
I have found repeatedly that America's farmers are among the best stewards of our land. They drink the water that we drink, they breathe the air that we breathe. They want to be responsible, but they lack the resources. And, very honestly, and I think everyone here will admit that under the present State revolving fund program, not one dime goes to American farmers to give them a helping hand. I want to guarantee that they know that there is a source of money that is fenced off for them. They can apply for it, they can use it. They can help be part of the solution. That is what they want to do. But, as I said earlier, the farmers of America are tired of our sanctimonious sermons coming from Washington, on this great hill, the citadel of freedom, telling them very pompously, 'We want you to be part of the solution. But, incidently, we are not going to give you any money to solve the problem.' That is not responsible.
