I know that efforts are underway to try to reach some type of accommodation with the distinguished senior Senator from Mississippi and his amendment. I discussed it briefly with him this morning. As chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, I share his concerns, but I have a feeling these are things that are workable. I could not support the amendment in the way that it was originally placed. I feel it is not germane to S. 4. The distinguished Senator from Mississippi knows my concerns on that. I will just note for him and for the distinguished chairman of the Commerce Committee, Senator Hollings, that in the Agriculture Committee, to whatever extent this may help, I am happy to work with him.
