I don't know how you want to describe it, but it was -- it was an attack on the Capitol.

We welcome conversations with you and your staff about flexibilities you feel we have that we are not extending.

I would just encourage you to improve collaboration with the advisory board, the counties, the States, who I think have a wealth of information and insight to bring to the table when it comes to the plan revision process.

I am going to continue to work to make the program a more effective working lands-oriented option for producers in the next farm bill, including through haying and grazing flexibility.

I urge the agency to prioritize staff and resources to conduct the Natl Environmental Policy Act analysis necessary for timber sales.

We will have passed the farm bill by the time you get back.

There is really zero that I can tell related to market access.

In 2015, I led a trade provision with my colleague, Senator Wyden, which was included in the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act.

The idea behind the update was to reduce trade barriers and allow more low-value items to be imported into the country duty-free.
