From the transcript
It reinforces the strong work already underway and clearly defines the responsibilities, strengthens the tools available. And on behalf of Texas Farm Bureau, I respectfully urge the subcommittee to advance the SAFE Cattle Act and move this legislation to the full House of Representatives. Thank you for your opportunity— for the opportunity to testify, and I'm happy to answer any questions. Thank you, Mr. Blankenship. I now recognize Dr. Merrick for 5 minutes.
