On the recordJuly 30, 1998
if we let the perfect be the enemy of the good, we are going to let a lot of people down who are in desperation right now. This is a good bill. I think the debate can be legitimately waged, but, please, at this late hour, as we are leaving for a month, do not fail to let us have this relief. These farmers can get credit if they can get that payment moved up. It is no new money. But they need this help. This will help my State, which is the most drastically affected at this point with this drought. I urge you, for whatever other reasons it may not have been handled right, let this unanimous consent go through. It will be to everyone's benefit who has a stake here. Let's work out the other problems when we can. We are going into a month recess.
