Day on the Hill participants were treated to a breakfast on May 17 in the U.S. Capitol building, followed by a presentation by Rep. C.L. Otter (R-1st-ID). Rep. Otter shared his 30-year experiences as a corporate executive with international food manufacturer The J.R. Simplot Company, producer of McDonalds French fries. He said that many of the challenges his company faced in the 70s and 80s are similar to the obstacles the convenience industry faces today.
