Smith Statement on Gov. Schafer's Nomination for Secretary of Agriculture
Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE) today released the following statement regarding President Bush's nomination of former North Dakota Governor Edward Schafer for Secretary of Agriculture. Schafer served as Governor of North Dakota from 1992 to 2000.
"With the Farm Bill having passed the House and awaiting action in the Senate, and I'm confident he will be a great resource as this process moves forward. I look forward to Governor Schafer's quick confirmation so we can focus on reauthorizing the Farm Bill, as well as other important issues, including FSA closures in the Third District," Smith said.
