CAPITOL
COMMENT
U.S. SENATOR
KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON
Every day since the terrorist attacks, in big and small ways, we have been
remindedof exactly how much has changed and of how different our pnoritics
must be We are at war now This touches every aspect of our lives, even some
that may not come immediately to mind
Today for example, when we think of agriculture. we must not just think
of grams and livestock, but also about bioterrorism Agriculture is no longer
just a means of feeding our people, but we must also be mindful that terrorists
can use it as a means of attacking our people as well We must counteract this
threat, and safeguard both our food supply and our citizens
Therefore, back m October I introduced the "Agricultural Biotcrronsm
Countermeasures Act" The purpose of this bill is to address the potential for
biotcrrorists threats to our farms, ranches, livestock, poultry, crops, as well
as our food processing, packaging and distribution systems.
After 1 introduce my bill. Sens Bill Frist and Ted Kennedy brought
forward an overall bioterrorism bill I worked with both senators to ensure
that many of the measures in my legislation now form the foundation of the
agriculture provisions of their "Biotcrronsm Preparedness Act" This legis-
lation is pivotal to the precautions we must take as it will enhance the
capabilities of federal, state and local governments to coordinate emergency
preparedness efforts, stockpile vaccines and medical supplies, link channels
of communication, modernize biosecurity facilities, and ensure the safety of
America's health and food supply
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) will be expanded to enhance
inspection capability, implement new information technology, and develop
methods for rapid detection and identification of plant and animal disease
To enhance its ability to respond to outbreaks of animal disease. USDA's
Veterinary Services will be authorized to establish cooperative agreements
with private veterinary practitioners and state animal health commissions
and agencies that regulate livestock and poultry health
Several of America's institutions of higher education arc very good at
animal and plant disease research, maintain strong ties to laboratories, and
have excellent coordination with state programs These institutions will play
a key role in our efforts by providing the invaluable resources and knowledge
needed for the war on agricultural bioterrorism
To encourage these institutions to work together, this legislation tells
USDA to establish a "Consortium for Countermeasures Against Agricultural
Biotcrronsm " This Consortium will bring together several institutions to
form stable, long-term programs for research and development Tw'o of our
Texas institutions w ill be involved in this project Texas A&M wall play a
leading role as one of three national centers, and Texas Tech will be one of
seven additional members
Obuously protecting our agriculture is not only critical to all Americans,
but especially to our slate, as it makes up some of our largest and most diverse
economics We. along with other agriculture states such as Mississippi.
Georgia and California, arc vulnerable to a bioterrorist attack
This is the first modern war where the front lines lie on our own shores,
farmsand fields, but I know that we arc up to the challenge, especially Texans,
who will proudly serve as the first line of defense for our entire nation
It is truly a changed time This is. whether we like it or not. a battle for
the survival of all the principles and ideals that we hold dear But we are the
best, we have a just cause, and we will prevail
