The House Agriculture Committee on Wednesday completed its hearings with Agriculture Department undersecretaries and division heads.
“When I became chairman of the Agriculture Committee, I made a commitment to bring USDA officials before the committee and have them explain their budget and missions,” House Agriculture Committee Chairman Michael Conaway, R-Texas, said in a news release.
“The department carries out most of the laws enacted by this committee, so it makes sense for department officials to hear directly from members about our responsibilities and the issues and policies we care about. It is equally important for committee members to see how these policies are implemented and what challenges, if any, USDA faces in implementing them.”
