                      SUPPORTING RURAL COMMUNITIES

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and 
Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024, 
supports our rural communities and strengthens our national security 
and food supply by continuing critical investments in agriculture 
research, rural broadband, and animal and plant health programs.
  The bill also provides sufficient funds to ensure the safety of food, 
drugs, and medical devices, which is especially important after the 
Biden administration's failure to protect our children from the baby 
formula debacle last year at the FDA. It reins in harmful regulations 
that dictate how poultry and livestock producers raise and market their 
animals.
  These provisions will be sure to help those farmers and agricultural 
producers in my district and across Tennessee who are fed up with 
bureaucrats in Washington telling them how to farm and tend to their 
land and animals.
