                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                         TRIBUTE TO PACHY BURNS

 Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, today I bring to your attention a 
truly remarkable program. In America, at this point in our history, 
most people are so far removed from their agrarian roots, they have 
lost all understanding of true ties to the land. This is one of the 
many problems that agricultural producers face in their battle for 
survival.
  There is a sheep producer in Montana who is working to correct this 
problem. Pachy Burns is a true Western woman. There is nothing that she 
is not willing to face and, if need be, challenge. Pachy has created a 
program called Jam to Lamb. It is an all-women's lambing party that 
involves women from all over the United States. Women from every walk 
of life experience the true meaning of ranching by learning through 
doing.
  Women who visit Pachy learn about delivering lambs, branding lambs, 
nursing bums, and all of the other necessities of daily ranch life. 
They learn the truth about issues impacting agriculture such as Federal 
lands and predators.
  I ask that you all join me in recognition of Pachy Burns, a woman who 
is trying to open not only the eyes but also the hearts of people, who 
should have a better understanding of where their food comes from. 
Pachy is accomplishing this through leadership and friendship the true 
mark of a Westerner.
