“I thank Congresswoman Noem very much for not only taking time to come here and speak with us, but in particular the references that you make to your home State, a State which you represent so proudly and which you not only carry the flag of South Dakota with you, but really on behalf of all Americans that live not just in rural areas, but who, every single day, get up and go to work to make this country stronger, to take our products and services and goods overseas to make sure that the agriculture products are clean and the very best products available. I think one of the most interesting things that you said was really the point which we do understand, and that is the world thirsts for American-made products. The world understands firsthand how important your industry--your agricultural industry is in South Dakota and throughout the Midwest, the very best of not only beef--I did include Texas in there, I hope-- but the very best of agricultural products that go around the world and then, as you travel to see people, thirst for those products. {time} 1945”
