I have several questions to ask. One is on the Residential Advisory Economy for Trade Policy and Negotiations Act. I see that there's no farmers on that list. Why? You can answer these questions at a later date.

The second question in the agreement on agriculture, part 11, committee on agriculture, has that ever been appointed?

And then in the annex two, domestic support, the basis for exemption from the reduction of commitments. Number 6 especially, decoupling income supports.

Number 3 is a world trade implementation report. Explain the seven ways or the seven key recommendations. What are they going to do for the average farmer, the one that produces the raw product?

Number 4, the U.S., China signed a bilateral agriculture agreement. As a farmer that raises the raw product, what's in it for us, or is it just more agribusiness?

And then number 5 is just a comment. In the last ten years, according to Senator Jordan from North Dakota, 50 percent of the farmers have been displaced from the land. The Clinton Administration is in the seventh year. Think it's about time he does something? I mean, I listened to the panel here before. I mean, it's great guns for these people. Where's our share of this trade? We're the ones that's taking the hit. It's getting old, boys. We have to make a living too. We're part of this country, and there isn't no level playing field.

When I get up in the morning, my feet hit the floor, I got expenses to make in this country before I can do business. The Chinese, when his feet hit the floor in the morning and he's making an average wage of what, eight, ten cents an hour, how can I compete with that? What is he going to buy that I'm producing? Do my prices have to get that low that I got to compete with him in the world market?

The United States has military people in 77 countries. That's a direct tax to us. At the height of the Roman Empire they only had troops in 72 countries. I mean, that's a big expense. We pay that. We buy tires, gasoline. We pay hidden taxes all day long to compete in this world. There ain't no level playing field out there.

Thank you..
