R-CALF USA applauds Senate country-of-origin-labeling letter

Billings, Mont. - R-CALF USA applauds yesterday's action by a group of 31 U.S. Senators led by Senators Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Tim Johnson (D-SD), and Charles Grassley (R-IA). who sent a joint letter to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk informing them that it was Congress' intent to provide reliable information to consumers "about where their meat and seafood comes from" when Congress enacted the mandatory country-of-origin-labeling (COOL) law after more than 10 years of deliberation.
