TSCRA Daily News Update, June 27, 2008
FY 2009 Ag Appropriations have stalled Early Thursday, the House Appropriations Committee was to hold a markup of the Fiscal Year 2009 Agriculture Appropriations bill, as well as the Labor, Health and Education Appropriations bill. During the debate for the Labor, Health and Education bill, an amendment was offered to include off-shore drilling. Once this amendment was introduced, the chairman promptly adjourned the meeting by a roll call vote. It is unclear when the Appropriations Committee session will be rescheduled. A similar issue came up during the markup of the FY 2009 Interior Appropriations bill last week. NCBA is watching the FY 2009 Ag Appropriations bill closely for the possible inclusion of language linking the National Animal Identification System to the School Lunch Program.
