On the recordMarch 28, 1996
I got to the floor to speak about China, but first a word about chickens. Mr. President, chickens may be an important industry in Arkansas, and they are, but the reason I think it is entirely legitimate--in fact, entirely important--for this President to speak to President Yeltsin about chickens is because Russia was denying entry into the Russian market of American chickens, perhaps grown in Arkansas, but grown in America by Americans, for the wrong reasons. That is, they were not permitting these chickens to come in because they did not want the competition. Mr. President, this President, any President, has a great interest in open markets, particularly with a country which we are doing a lot to help and who we are encouraging to have open markets. I applaud this President for seeking to do away with those barriers to open markets in Russia.
