Also on Wednesday, several events occurred: 1) the opponents said they had enough votes to pass their 13-page anti-COOL amendment that would have allowed beef from imported cattle to bear a USA label. 2) Shae Dodson successfully scheduled an R-CALF USA interview with Lou Dobbs for Thursday. 3) The Lou Dobbs Tonight show called R-CALF USA asking us to review its story line for the Wednesday night segment, which story line R-CALF USA modified. 4) Lou Dobbs ran the Wednesday night COOL segment, this time criticizing the Administration, Congress and the NCBA for delaying implementation of COOL and calling NCBA’s Jay Truitt “All bull and no beef.” 5) The National Farmers Union provided the members of the Agriculture Committee with a copy of the Lou Dobbs Tonight Show. 6) Members of R-CALF USA, NFU, and consumer groups continued making calls to Congressional members. 7) The Agriculture Committee continued its mark up of the Farm Bill until about 1:00 in the morning. NFU and R-CALF USA agreed on principles for a new amendment that would essentially put into law the steps USDA must follow when implementing COOL, thus limiting USDA’s rule-writing discretion. This new amendment was requested by the House Agriculture Committee Chairman.
