From the same article, just a tad further down the page:

""I'm really disappointed," Boyd said. "This is the president's bill."
"They did discriminate against these farmers, maybe not all of them, but a lot of these people would prevail if they could go to court," he said.
The administration wouldn't discuss specific budget plans or commit to fully funding the claims.
But in a statement to The Associated Press, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said the department agrees that more needs to be done and is working with the Justice Department to "ensure that people are treated fairly."
Kenneth Baer, a budget spokesman for the White House, also suggested that the White House is planning to do more.
"The president has been a leader on this issue since his days as a U.S. senator and is deeply committed to closing this painful chapter in our history," Baer said in a statement."




Nice to hear both sides of the discussion once in a while.
