In my [post](https://www.cato.org/2007/07/27/parliament-of-whores-indeed/) last week on the House farm bill, I quoted a *Congressional Quarterly* article that said that “\[chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Representative Collin\] Peterson also worked to stave off a last-minute revolt by Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) members by dedicating $1 million \[sic\] in extra funding for historically black universities and for black farmers.” ([link](http://www.cq.com/login.do;jsessionid=CF6F23CD992453DAC34FD88E1F29E0D6.upolu?jumpto=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cq.com%2Fdisplay.do%3Fdockey%3D%2Fcqonline%2Fprod%2Fdata%2Fdocs%2Fhtml%2Fnews%2F110%2Fnews110-000002559849.html%40allnews%26metapub%3DCQ-NEWS%26searchIndex%3D4%26seqNum%3D1) requires subscription).

Further reporting has disclosed that the figure dedicated to those causes was $100 million (see [here](http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/07/28/america/28farm.php)). Apologies.
