Bishop, for allowing me this time. Part of my amendment is in the en bloc and it deals with wastewater treatment. No person in america living in this country should be allowed to not have adequate plumbing. This is why ive introduced an amendment asking the usda to pry or oties our ongoing efforts to address failing septic systems in Rural Communities. Approximately 20 of americans are responsible for the installation and maintenance of their own sewage disposal systems, which isnt provided by their municipalities or their county government. At least 200,000 families live in homes that have a lack of sewage system altogether. We offer little assistance to people who live in unincorporated areas to have basic water and sewer. Rural communities across this country struggle with this issue. Just this week, i read lots and lots of articles that dealt with failure of those folks in

With each one of you to try to craft a longterm piece of legislation to guide our nations farmers and ranchers and give them the certitude they need. My home state is the home of over 48,000 farms, and we have over 1 billion in farm exports a year. So this is a pretty big deal to us. Im honored they gave me an opportunity to be here and work on it. We strongly prefer to keep the usda food safety and Inspection Service catfish inspection program.

I also support giving the livestock industry relief from the troublesome mandatory country of origin labeling mandates. The negotiations we face will be tough, and i am certain that not any conferee is going to go home with everything they want. But its important that we be responsible stewards of the taxpayers dollars by maintaining the programs that are working and reforming those that dont. I believe ....
