Rehberg, Baucus work on labeling
By Gazette News Services
HELENA - Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., said he is introducing legislation to speed up implementation of country-of-origin labeling of meat, while Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., said he expects to be named chairman of the Senate subcommittee with jurisdiction over the issue.
Rehberg's legislation would move the deadline for implementation of mandatory country-of-origin labeling, or COOL, from Sept. 30, 2008, to Sept. 30, 2007.
"Special interest groups have been blocking COOL for too long," Rehberg said in a statement. "Montana consumers deserve the right to know where their meat products are coming from and we need to let them know this as soon as possible."
