I can't believe they're changing the name of the Poultry Research Center in Athens to "Abit Massey Poultry Research Center". This is just a waste of time and money. Why do we need to rename it? It's been the U.S. National Poultry Research Center for years. This bill doesn't benefit anyone except maybe Abit Massey himself. It's just sad.
