Derrick Van Orden: “If this final bill as returned from the Senate, includes…”

“Earlier this morning, our conference made great strides in recognizing our farmers by including elements of my amendment that protect our corn growers and biofuel industries. With that said, If this final bill as returned from the Senate, includes further provisions that do not show the proper respect for our farmers, our national security, or the future of nuclear energy, I will not vote for its passage. There will be no further negotiations from my office. I want to make this very clear. I voted for Kevin McCarthy for Speaker because I believe that he was the person called at this moment to lead this conference and this body.” (01:49–02:01)
