WASHINGTON, DC — House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn “GT” Thompson (PA-15) and Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Chairman John Boozman (R-AR) issued the following statement after USDA’s announcement to allow pork and poultry producers to operate at increased line speeds:

We look forward to continued collaboration with the Administration throughout the rulemaking process.”
