I agree that debate and open scrutiny of the Sugar Program is important this year. I would like my position to be clear. Though I accept that some level of reform to the program is inevitable and necessary. I do not believe emasculation or outright elimination is wise. My grandfather and grandmother emigrated from Japan to work at McBryde Sugar Co. on the Island of Kauai in 1899. In my office here In Washington I have a framed copy of the contract on which my grandfather. Asakichi Inouye. placed his "X." The contract includes a photograph of this brave young man and his wife. and a little baby boy they are holding.
