TEMPORARY EXTENSION OF FARM PROGRAMS -- (House of Representatives - May 01, 2008)

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LUCAS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I might consume.

I rise in support of the temporary farm bill extension that will extend some of the provisions of the 2002 farm bill so that the conferees can attempt to finalize this bill. I share my colleague's perspective over there. I think progress has been made, and we need to bring this to a conclusion.

With that, I urge my colleagues to support this farm bill extension so that that work can be accomplished.

I yield back the balance of my time.
