I appreciate very much the productive efforts of the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Baldacci) throughout this process. Part of what he is suggesting is, a part of the whole concept behind this, is to look at new types of programs that can be available for coverage that does not exist today, look at the growing habits and conditions that farmers may have, and to encourage the associations that represent the people who grow those commodities to be involved in the product so that it is a very workable product. We will be happy to work with the gentleman in any way that I might through the conference to assure that his concerns and interests are taken care of.
