Thank you very much, gentlemen, for being with us today as we study this important sector of agriculture.
Certainly, with the other witnesses we have had before us, the theme of opening markets and international trade has been a constant message, both from the necessity point of view that we need to do this and from the point of view that we are actually accomplishing it. As you know, Minister Ritz has devoted an extraordinary amount of time and effort to international visits to open markets for the livestock sector.
In fact, I think, Mr. Drury, you were there in Saudi Arabia.
