David Obey: “let me simply put that chart in context. That chart represents as far…”

On the recordJune 23, 1998

let me simply put that chart in context. That chart represents as far as the Secretary is allowed to go under the law in simplifying milk marketing orders. What we wanted to do in our region legislatively, and we were denied that opportunity by the House leadership, we wanted to create a situation under which, under the Gunderson amendment, the colors on that entire map would be the same because there would be only one milk marketing order. You are attacking us for the limits which you yourself have imposed on the agreement. That is the fallaciousness of the argument.
