[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 145 (1999), Part 6] [Senate] [Page 8294] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]PASS EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL AND HELP DESPERATE, DESERVING FARMERS (Mr. BERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.) Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, how many times do we have to come to the floor asking for help on behalf of the American farmer? How many more farmers have to go bankrupt before we pass the emergency supplemental? When is the Speaker going to stop holding America's farmers hostage and stop playing politics? This could have been done months ago. The time to act is now. It is the right thing to do. America's farmers deserve to be treated better than this. Let us pass the emergency supplemental. ____________________
