Frank Lucas: “My amendment No. 5 simply prohibits funding from being transferred…”

On the recordJuly 13, 2004

My amendment No. 5 simply prohibits funding from being transferred from EQIP, WHIP, GRP, and FRPP to other conservation programs such as CRP and WRP for the purpose of technical assistance. I have been asked on numerous times if CRP, WRP, continuous CRP and CREP sign-ups would still occur if this amendment was passed. It would be up to the USDA to find other funds from which to provide this technical assistance. Mr. Chairman, quite simply put, I think it is a fairness issue. The programs should pay for themselves from their own expenditures.
