Listening to my colleague's remarks, I was reminded of what another general, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, said: ``You know, farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil, and you're a thousand miles from the cornfield.'' I think that sentiment was echoed by Don Bacon, which is to say people who have actual experience dealing with hard problems are the best type of people to legislate on those problems from Congress. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to welcome another distinguished colleague from Louisiana. We in Wisconsin are all honored to welcome a bunch of LSU fans to Lambeau Field. I won't rehash how that went, but it was a great coming together of two great sports fans. It was really a privilege for everyone there. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Johnson), my colleague.
