BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to this amendment. It is interesting to listen to the various arguments here, but certainly there is unfair competition, if you will--it is hard to even call it competition--overseas, but we have unfair trade practices. Sugar policy here helps us defend ourselves.
These are manufacturing jobs in western Nebraska that utilize, very responsibly, our natural resources, and I think it is only reasonable to continue a policy that is not generally a cost to taxpayers.
I urge opposition to this amendment.
