    Statement on Senate Action on Emergency Agricultural Assistance
    Legislation
    August 3, 2001

        The Senate today took wise and prompt action to help America's
    farmers. This vote is a victory for our Nation's farmers at a time when
    they need it the most. I praise the Senate for agreeing to the House
    bill and look forward to signing this helpful measure into law.
