Meeting — March 31, 2011 (52:49)

Yes, sir, you recognize. If my A committee that I share committee room with is not going to

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (13:29)

and quizzed well and personally I just think we did a great job I really do thank y'all very much

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (12:55)

It's, you know, when I first looked at the makeup of this committee, I was disappointed in one way that we didn't have any females on the committee, but this committee has been so diversified. We have got all sectors of economic development, forestry, row crop farming, and whatever involved, and, well, we kept our nose to the grindstone and did our work. We asked a lot of good questions when it was time to ask questions, but we're not a committee that everybody has to speak on every subject, you know, but everything that came up to our committee was well thought out.

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (12:34)

We have about five minutes. Any comments from any member? Yes, sir. Mr.

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (11:52)

committee and how disappointed I was because a little nervous being up here in this seat two guys and Patrick said don't worry he said the lady we got can to handle it. She does a good job. And besides that, she's just a little bit better looking than I am. And I'd have to say it. So, Kendra, if you'd come up, and Tammy, I want to tell y'all how much I really appreciate y'all with this little what I did, guys, with the money, I went and bought a gift card from Chico's. I thought you might... I like that place. Yeah, there you go.

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (11:20)

and taken up a little collection and we have a small token of our appreciation for what y'all have done for us this session. And certainly you have, both of y'all have made this committee look a lot better and we appreciate that I don't know if I told y'all that I mean I may be repeating myself but when when Patrick informed me that he was no longer I'm gonna be the staff person for agri that I was getting somebody brand new this was last summer fall and I said oh Patrick got you know man Patrick Rawson knows everything about this capital he knows how to run the AG

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (10:49)

and re-remind the committee that we had two young ladies working for us this session that one of them for sure was brand new and I could feel the desk up here shaking as nervous as she was the first couple of meetings. And if y'all remember what our first meeting was, we had roll call vote and Tammy was saying, what in the world are we going to do up here? But we got through that because I was practically new also. But Tammy and Kendra, what we have done is we've gone around the committee

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (10:19)

Please, everyone, stay active through the interim. We have what we think is a lot of good meetings being planned. I'm guessing the first one will probably be the Rural Development Conference in Hot Springs, 24th, 25th, and 26th of May. we've got two or three other things that we're working on that's going to be we think very interesting so please please be active in that now I would also like to take a moment of personal privilege

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (9:57)

Committee. Thank you, Representative. Gentlemen, like I stated earlier, Senate Bill 896 has been withdrawn. They're going to recommend on the Senate end that that be put into study. Aye. Let me have your attention, please, gentlemen. This is our last meeting. I know you're disappointed. But I will tell you this.

Then we'll take your recommendation that we recommend it go to the study, to the Ag Committee, and then we'll designate at a later time which subcommittee that that will go into. Okay? Yes, sir. I need a motion on that from the committee. We have a motion.

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (9:24)

pleasure, that's what we'll do, if that's happy with the

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (7:54)

with Legislative Counsel. All right. Representative Love would suggest that we put this under recommended study. Well, no. He doesn't want us to do it. You just want to withdraw it from this committee is what you want to do and then put in Legislative

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (7:37)

anymore. Anyone else have a question? You tell us, Representative

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (7:07)

Meeting — March 31, 2011 (7:25)
