    Aug. 15, 2018 The Honorable Pat Roberts The Honorable Mike Conaway Chairman Chairman Senate Committee on Agriculture, House Committee on Agriculture Nutrition & Forestry The Honorable Debbie Stabenow The Honorable Collin Peterson Ranking Member Ranking Member Senate Committee on Agriculture, House Committee on Agriculture Nutrition & Forestry Dear Chairman Roberts, Chairman Conaway, Ranking Member Stabenow, Ranking Member Peterson and Members of the Conference Committee: The National Pork Producers Council, an association of 42 state pork organizations that represents the interests in Washington, D.C., of America’s 60,000 pork producers, writes to express its strong support for the conference committee’s work on a 2018 Farm Bill and, in particular, two provisions in it that will be considered during the panel’s deliberations. Those provisions, one setting up and funding a robust Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine bank and the other protecting interstate commerce and prohibiting one state from regulating agricultural practices in other states, are vital to the viability of America’s farmers and ranchers and to their ability to produce safe, affordable food. As you know, FMD is an infectious viral disease that affects cloven-hooved animals, including cattle, pigs and sheep; it is not a food safety or human health threat. Although the disease hasn’t been in the United States since 1929, it is endemic in many parts of the world, and our country is ill-prepared to deal with an outbreak should FMD reach our shores. Without the ability to control the disease through vaccination, U.S. meat and dairy export markets – which would close immediately on confirmation of an outbreak – would remain shuttered indefinitely.

  • Joint Letter Regarding CFTC Reauthorization
    December 7, 2005 The Honorable Bob Goodlatte The Honorable Collin Peterson Chairman Ranking Member United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture Committee on Agriculture 1301 LHOB 1301 LHOB Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Chairman and Ranking Member Peterson: The undersigned Associations have serious concerns about the House Agriculture Committee’s draft bill, with the accompanying natural gas amendment, to reauthorize the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). As proposed, the legislation raises significant issues of scope and policy as well as technical issues having potentially substantive consequences on the over-the-counter derivative markets. The proposed legislation would unnecessarily extend CFTC jurisdiction beyond futures and options markets and impose new regulation unwarranted by market events. While the staff of the Agriculture Committee has made a good faith effort to address the Associations’ concerns in a number of areas, we unfortunately must oppose the Committee’s reauthorization bill and the accompanying natural gas amendment in the current form. We respectfully request a postponement of the markup scheduled for Wednesday December 7 in order to work on further revisions to the draft bill. We support, in scope and substance, the fundamental approach to the Zelener issue reflected in the legislation proposed by the President’s Working Group for Financial Markets. We believe, however, that a number of technical changes to the PWG draft legislation are needed. The Committee’s draft bill does not yet reflect any of these changes We are most concerned that the natural gas amendment includes expansive new provisions governing position reporting and market surveillance that raise significant questions of policy, scope, and construction.

  • Letter from Stephen Johnson to Governor Schwarzenegger Denying
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 DEC 1 9 2007 OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR The Honorable Arnold Schwarzenegger Governor of the State of California State Capitol Sacramento, California 95814 Dear Governor Schwarzenegger, As I have committed to you in previous correspondence, I am writing to inform you of my decision with respect to the request for a waiver of Federal preemption for motor vehicle greenhouse gas emission standards submitted by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). As you know, EPA undertook an extensive public notice and comment process with regard to the waiver request. The Agency held two public hearings: one on May 22, 2007 in Washington, D.C. and one in Sacramento, California on May 30, 2007. We heard from over 80 individuals at these hearings and received thousands of written comments during the ensuing public comment process from parties representing a broad set of interests, including state and local governments, public health and environmental organizations, academia, industry and citizens. The Agency also received and considered a substantial amount of technical and scientific material submitted after the close of the comment deadline on June 15, 2007. EPA has considered and granted previous waivers to California for standards covering pollutants that predominantly affect local and regional air quality. In contrast, the current waiver request for greenhouse gases is far different; it presents numerous issues that are distinguishable from all prior waiver requests. Unlike other air pollutants covered by previous waivers, greenhouse gases are fundamentally global in nature. Greenhouse gases contribute to the problem of global climate change, a problem that poses challenges for the entire nation and indeed the world.

    Board of Directors Meeting January 10, 2019 Legislative Report Item V.B.

Chairing the transition team are Congressman Matt Gaetz, former state House Speaker Richard Corcoran, former U.S. Senator George LeMieux and former Lieutenant Governor Toni Jennings. Gaetz is a former state legislator from Fort Walton Beach. LeMieux served as chief of staff to former Governor Charlie Crist, who appointed LeMieux to the U.S. Senate. Jennings, a lieutenant governor under former Governor Jeb Bush, also served two terms as state Senate president. Governor DeSantis took office January 8, 2019, succeeding Rick Scott. DeSantis’ campaign chair, Susie Wiles, will serve as Executive Director and Scott Parkinson, will join the team as Deputy Executive Director. Governor DeSantis Announces Appointments A new Governor has the responsibility to make numerous appointments to a variety of advisory boards, councils, committees, governing boards, and task forces. The appointments within the Executive Office of the Governor serve exclusively at the pleasure of the governor. Most agency and department heads serve at the pleasure of the governor, but their appointment is subject to confirmation by the Senate. Additionally, the incoming Governor may withdraw appointments made by an outgoing Governor, which are subject to Senate confirmation that has not occurred. Governor DeSantis announces the following appointments: Executive Office of the Governor Appointee Past Position Approval/Confirmation Governor Chief Inspector General Melinda Miguel Casey Family Programs Pleasure of the Governor Fmr.
