Joseph T. Burns said "I am still a little concerned about on what bill this amendment is being offered. I want this to pass, and I would hate to see it passed in the Senate and we get a good warm and fuzzy feeling inside and then we lose it in conference or we lose the stimulus altogether. I do not know what is ahead. I do not see that in my crystal ball. I see a very hazy picture. This amendment needs to be adopted because this is not only happening in the State of Montana, it is happening in other States as well. Keep in mind that the American people have agreed they still want this insurance policy of our ability to feed and clothe this Nation and not become dependent on other sources for our subsistence. I heartily urge my colleagues to support this amendment." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
