mr. carper: thank you, mr. president. mr.sident, it's good to see you and it's good to see my colleague, john cornyn, here in the senate today, and all the pages and folks who have come back to go to work. there's a lot of work to do. one of the first items of business before us is a critical nomination, a nomination for the department of agriculture and not just any job at the department of agriculture but the number two job, the deputy secretary of the department of of agriculture. the woman nominated currently serves as the under secretary at the department of agriculture and she's been nominated to be the deputy secretary for the department. and she has a hard name to pronounce. it's a name i've never seen before, but it sounds something like this, xochitl, like s-o-chill. you look at it on paper and say how would you prow nouns it. that's how you pronounce it. the rest of the name is torres small, somebody i've known for a brief period. you know who knows her really well? a guy who used to serve here, the senator from ne
