mr. chairman , i yield myself such time as i may consume .  mr. chairman , let me quickly respond to some of the information that has been put out there .  first of all , on the cost end of it , cbo said already this is a cost-neutral proposition .  in fact , it is my contention that it will give the usda extra resources to do the job of protecting the american food chain .  secondly , we talked about the failure of a lack of a hearing .  we looked for a hearing for 2 years .  that necessitated bringing this legislation .  finally , if we are simply going to get into a debate over which organizations support it , there are vastly more organizations , some of the most preeminent experts in the horse industry who support this legislation , including congress 's top veterinarian , senator ensign , who is introducing a counterpart bill in the senate .
