And thank you, Madam Secretary. Appreciate your work to strengthen coordination between the USDA and the Department of War by signing an MOU with Secretary Hegseth in February. That same month, I introduced the DoD and USDA Interagency Research Act, a bill that would foster collaboration between the DOD's Office of Research and Engineering and USDA's Agarda program. It would strengthen our agricultural security and it will accelerate innovation for American farmers and ranchers. (00:18–00:30)
