The Cattlemen's Association would prefer a national disaster program first. I think if we had a disaster program, it would take that bottom risk out of it and we would feel a lot more comfortable. If there were a NISA program or something similar where the producers could contribute and spend the money where needed, that would look after the individual and then a disaster program would look after the general agriculture. That's where I see a national program--all commodities would have a national disaster program.
