BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ETHERIDGE. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition on behalf of the farmers who for years have made a contribution, and now they are asking for an opportunity for a way out to save their way of life. And I am embarrassed that people that have no farmers and do not understand the program are the ones who are in support of the amendment.
