the course of fiscal events which the House of 

 Representatives set in motion last vy^eek during the budget 

 process. 



Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for patiently allowing me 

 to address this crucial aspect of the current situation. I 

 again would simply remind everyone present today that 

 our very real concerns and our very good intentions about 

 agricultural research programs and facilities are of little 

 avail when all the farmers and ranchers are gone from the 

 land, when we through out short-sightedness have turned 

 out the lights on Main Street rural America, and when our 

 consumers are forced to contend with uncertain supplies 

 of food and fiber from often unreliable foreign sources at 

 sky-high prices!
