                       THE FARM BILL SAVES MONEY

  (Mr. WOODALL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. WOODALL. Mr. Speaker, I represent the northeastern suburbs of 
Atlanta, but I voted in favor of a large farm bill today. We don't have 
too many farmers in our district, but we have folks who care about 
their children and their grandchildren and moving this country away 
from debt and back towards prosperity.
  I serve on the Budget Committee, and in my 3 years in this body, I 
have never been able to send a bill to the President that changes 
mandatory spending in the direction of savings as large as this bill 
does that we did today, over $3 billion in the first year.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people are tired of broken promises, and 
they are tired of folks who promise the Moon and can't deliver. Today 
we took a small step in the right direction, and you will see me back 
here tomorrow looking for one more.
  I was proud to vote in favor of the farm bill today.
