         EMERGENCY AGRICULTURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE ACT OF 2003

  (Mr. BURNS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURNS. Mr. Speaker, farmers of the 12th District of Georgia, as 
well as those across the Nation, are hurting. Disastrous yields and 
poor crop quality are the result of the weather of 2002. To respond to 
these needs, to work for Georgia farmers and with the Georgia Farm 
Bureau and its president, Wayne Dollar, today I will introduce the 
Emergency Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act. I urge my colleagues to 
take steps toward aiding some of America's finest in these difficult 
times by cosponsoring and supporting this bill.
