On the recordJuly 16, 1998

I have been a strong believer in country of origin labeling for products--whether it be for automobiles, clothing, technological, or food products. I have been an especially strong supporter of country of origin labeling for meat products because of its common-sense nature, its benefits to ranchers, farmers, and consumers, its strong bipartisan and agricultural group support, its cost-free benefit to taxpayers as scored by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and its trade friendly provisions. After many years of effort to pass meat labeling legislation, we have finally succeeded.
