Concur with Randy on both points.  You did a great job Rick in the leading the effort on making these programs more workable.

Rick-thanks for sending me the statement. One suggestion-in the opening paragraph recognize the hard work of the Chair and Ranking Member and express support for the provisions. Also may want to mention their enormous leadership in providing critical funding and tools to meet the challenges of global hunger-despite tremendous budgetary challenges. Thanks. Randy

Good morning,
I am planning to release the following statement in support of the Farm Bill this morning (the Farm Bill was distributed by the Committee on Friday afternoon).  Almost all of our requested provisions were included and the compromise on the safebox/monetization is reasonable.  We worked closely with the Ag Committee and some NGOs on the compromise - but it is still controversial with some NGOs seeking to maintain the status quo.  I will provide a more in depth analysis later but need to move quickly to support our friends on the Ag Committee.  Please let me know if you have any concerns about the attached statement.  Thank you very much.
All the best,
Rick
