Herb Kohl: “the first amendment we will be considering today is the Coburn amendment to reduce funding for the rural development…”

On the recordNovember 1, 2011
the first amendment we will be considering today is the Coburn amendment to reduce funding for the rural development mission area by $1 billion, or 41 percent, spread equally over the agency.
