   PASS EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL AND HELP DESPERATE, DESERVING FARMERS

  (Mr. BERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERRY. Mr. Speaker, how many times do we have to come to the 
floor asking for help on behalf of the American farmer? How many more 
farmers have to go bankrupt before we pass the emergency supplemental? 
When is the Speaker going to stop holding America's farmers hostage and 
stop playing politics?
  This could have been done months ago. The time to act is now. It is 
the right thing to do. America's farmers deserve to be treated better 
than this. Let us pass the emergency supplemental.
