“I would just say that the Plum Creek Forest tax credit scheme is plumb wrong. This is the ``bridge to nowhere'' of the farm bill. This has no business being in the farm bill. This is clearly, as the gentleman from Louisiana said, an earmark directed at one wealthy landowner. And this is why the American people are sick and tired of the way this town does business. We owe it to the public. They deserve better. Let's call this what it is. The Plum Creek Forest is plumb wrong. This is a ``bridge to nowhere'' in the farm bill. That is why, Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this motion to instruct the House conferees. I reserve the balance of my time.”
