fischer: thank you, mr. president. i, too, rise today to speak on the farm bill. like many nebraskans, i am relieved in a final conference agreement has been reached which will provide much-needed certainty for both producers and consumers. this legislation accomplishes a great deal. it provides risk management and disaster assistance programs. it promotes environmental stewardship. it bolsters export opportunities. it encourages rural development, advances research, helps beginning farmers and ranchers, and delivers nutrition assistance to our needy families. while the bill is not perfect, it is the result of compromise and a long collaborative legislative process. one of the most challenging issues for lawmakers was addressing nutrition assistance programs. that compromises 80% of the farm bill's total spending. with one in every seven americans receiving supplemental nutrition assistance, it is important to strengthen the program's integrity and its accountability while better targeting programs to serve those in need. i'm also pleased that the bill empowers st

i name is well fischer with the institute of technologists into the food global traceability center. i have a two-part question and richard, this might start with you. how well has this new law -- i will try that again. how has this new law been accepted and understood by countries outside of the u.s.? and the second part of that is what are the educational outreach efforts and how are they going? >> well, i will base my answer on the question mainly on our experience in china, which of course is a huge market for u.s. consumers. the fda has located a number of offices in china. they have the level of collaboration between the fda, usda and counterpart organizations in china, the ministry of health, ministry of agriculture, has a frequency in the training courses, the conferral systems has improved greatly, and that's hosted to a large extent by the drafting of the food safety law as it was last amended in 2012 in china. so the architecture i would argue for that collaboration is now better than it ever was. as far as probably implicit in your question is how deep does it go in terms

stanley fischer nominated to be yellen's number two was bernanke's thesis advisory. >> they like himne area wall street may not like yellen. could yellen be quicker than bernanke to use monetary policy to pop bubbles? here's what she said about the issue in a november confirmation hearing. >> i think it's important for the fed, hard as it is, to attempt to detect asset bubbles when they're forming. an environment of low interest rates can induce risky behavior. i would not rule out monetary policy conceivably having to play a role. >> whatever the similarities, the challenges will come as well. that hands to yellen a $4 trillion task of unwinding the fed's balance sheet while sustaining economic growth. not spooking markets, that she is moving too fast or too slow. >> can i ask a question. >> yes. >> ben white, this is about you -- >> me. >> not you personally. ben white says that yellen now that she has the job has to hunker down, get ready to field questions from a ravenous fed corps, that's you, who are eager to trick the newly installed head of the most powerful financial institu
