of the value that all affected production of the crop would
have had if the crop had not suffered a quality loss.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 2301. EMERGENCY DESIGNATION.</DELETED>
<DELETED> Amounts in this title are designated as emergency
requirements pursuant to section 402 of H. Con. Res. 95 (109th
Congress), and pursuant to section 501 of H. Con. Res. 376 (109th

Since under the Constitution, the President and Congress have
shared responsibilities for decisions on the use of the Armed Forces of
the United States, including their mission, and for supporting the
Armed Forces, especially during wartime;
Since when the Armed Forces are deployed in harm's way, the
President, Congress, and the Nation should give them all the support
they need in order to maintain their safety and accomplish their
assigned or future missions, including the training, equipment,
logistics, and funding necessary to ensure their safety and
effectiveness, and such support is the responsibility of both the
Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch of Government; and
Since thousands of members of the Armed Forces who have fought
bravely in Iraq and Afghanistan are not receiving the kind of medical
care and other support this Nation owes them when they return home:
Now, therefore, be it
Determined by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
that it is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the President and Congress should not take any action
that will endanger the Armed Forces of the United States, and
will provide necessary funds for training, equipment, and other
support for troops in the field, as such actions will ensure
their safety and effectiveness in preparing for and carrying
out their assigned missions;
(2) the President, Congress, and the Nation have an
obligation to ensure that those who have bravely served this
country in time of war receive the medical care and other
support they deserve; and
(3) the President and Congress should--
(A) continue to exercise their constitutional
responsibilities to ensure that the Armed Forces have
everything they need to perform their assigned or
future missions; and
(B) review, assess, and adjust United States policy
and funding as needed to ensure our troops have the
best chance for success in Iraq and elsewhere.
