Joe Pitts: “The chair thanks the gentlelady.”

Explicitly creating a program exclusively for catfish seems to be unnecessary, and it directs resources away from high-risk foods.

The jurisdictional grab serves only to shield catfish farmers against competition at the expense of U.S. consumers.

This seems to smack of food politics, not public health.

It is unfortunate that we have a Congress of the United States, the majority parties that want to just tear down this law.
