Thank you, Chairman Cole, and I want to commend your leadership as we wrap up the Committee’s work on the fiscal year 2025 appropriations process with the Agriculture appropriations bill. I also want to recognize the Ranking Member of the Full Committee, Ms. DeLauro, and the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee, Mr. Bishop, for their help in getting us to this point. I especially appreciate the conversations Mr. Bishop and I have had, and while I know we don’t agree on everything in the bill, we do agree on the importance of the agencies this bill funds.
