BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Chairman, thank you very much. I rise in support of this amendment. As I understand, it is a place holder for the opportunity for us to further discuss and refine the opportunity to continue funding of data mining.

I chair the subcommittee that has responsibility for crop insurance, and this to me is one of the most successful programs in weeding out and finding fraud and abuse. I encourage the conferees. I was glad to hear the gentleman from Texas, Mr. Bonilla's remarks, as we try to find an opportunity to make certain this program continues. As a member of the authorizing committee, I look forward to working with you to see that the necessary authorization occurs. It is an awfully important program and one that we will hold a hearing on in the future in hopes that we can expand this opportunity to other areas of the Department's operations. I appreciate the gentleman yielding.
