Not a rubber stamp

I had a brief visit with Sen. Larry Craig this afternoon and he said farm bill negotiators want another one or two week extension. Craig says there may be some movement on financing questions but he said he will not agree to the extension until the principals come to the Senate floor tomorrow and explain precisely where talks stand.

"It has not been my intent to slip us back to a one or two year extension; my intent is to ratchet up the pressure and to some extent we have been able to do that," Craig said.
