Summary
If a farm borrower with a farmer program loan asks, the Secretary must give the borrower a copy of each document the borrower signed, a copy of each appraisal done for the loan, and any other documents the Secretary is required to give under laws in effect when the borrower asks. This does not cancel duties the Secretary already had under laws in effect before January 6, 1988, unless those older duties directly clash with the duties above.
