This is the last week the House is in action before its August recess, The Senate in in session for two more weeks, and there are several key agricultural issues still unfinished in the Senate- the country-of-origin labeling (COOL) law for meat and reauthorization of school nutrition standards and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. There has been little sign of progress on any of them. Senate Agriculture Chairman Pat Roberts, R-Kan., is pushing to repeal COOL before the recess, arguing that the World Trade Organization will soon authorize Canada and Mexico to retaliate against U.S. exports over the law. The House has already passed a repeal measure.
