U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb), a member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, today released the following statement regarding the creation of a new undersecretary for trade and foreign agricultural affairs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA):

"I welcome Secretary Perdue's announcement today that he will follow the law and create this much-needed position at the USDA. This idea was a wise recommendation of my friend and former colleague, Senator Mike Johanns.
