Interesting gambit

A bill was introduced on Jan. 9 by Rep. Dennis Rehburg, a Republican from Montana, that would implement mandatory meat and produce country of origin labeling by Sept. 30 of this year by amending the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. This is likely a long shot, but it shows that this issue is still active. Where is the Congressional support for the industry compromise legislation? More to the point, where is the compromise itself? It's been a while since we've heard about it.
