House and Senate Agriculture Committees to Negotiate Differences Between Two Versions of Farm Bill The Senate Farm Bill (H.R. 2419) includes several provisions beneficial to the horse industry. (See attached explanation, which you may include with your letter to your Senator or Representative.) The House bill does not include these provisions. Members of the House and Senate Agriculture Committees will be meeting shortly to negotiate the differences between the two versions of the Farm Bill. We are trying to get grassroots contacts into them asking them to support the horse provisions in the Senate Farm bill in the final bill which will be called the Conference Report. A list of the Members of the House and Senate Committees is attached. Please contact your Representative or Senator if they are on this list. This is a draft letter that you can fax to your Representatives and Senators and that you can pass on to your members asking them to do the same. To identify your Representative's or Senator's fax number please call the AHC at 202-224-3121 or visit the House website at http://www.house.gov/ or the Senate website at http://www.senate.gov/. Please call with any questions. Thank you. |
