Joe Pitts: “At this time, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Olson).”

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

Because of the Affordable Care Act, now over 20 million people in this country who were in that situation literally overnight are no longer in that situation.

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

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