I am all for that, but just to have an open-ended check I don't think is necessarily a good idea.
Thank you for your leadership on behalf of America's farmers and ranchers, especially in such trying times.
Given the effectiveness of the Food for Peace Program, I believe, and the support from stakeholders, it is clear and important that we maintain that bipartisan effort.
I want American farmers participating in this, and American people support these programs in large part because they think it is American-grown products that are being used over there.
