Joe Pitts: “I absolutely do not think a delay solves our problem.”

It is unfortunate that we have a Congress of the United States, the majority parties that want to just tear down this law.

It seems illogical that the USDA would be given the exclusive authority to oversee and regulate catfish only while the FDA regulates all other seafood.

Both the FDA and the General Accountability Office agree that there is no food safety justification for this regulatory divide.

The jurisdictional grab serves only to shield catfish farmers against competition at the expense of U.S. consumers.
