Dear Sirs, Again, thank you for organizing this important and timely review of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS). This letter comments on two questions posed in your April 18, 2013 White Paper on Agricultural Sector Impacts.

Fred Smith is the animating spirit at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Fred conceived of the idea for an organization that would, in his words, “find a more positive answer to the challenge Joseph Schumpeter laid down in his essay, “Can Capitalism Survive?” He founded the organization and served as president for nearly three decades.
He died at the age of 83 at home in Maryland where he is survived by his beloved wife Fran. Fred was a friend and mentor, an advocate and ally, and an inspiration. His bright light lives on in our work.
Fred Lee Smith
