This is a note from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association:

Last week, the White House submitted the pending free trade agreements with Korea, Colombia and Panama to Capitol Hill for immediate consideration. Congress is expected to vote on the job-generating agreements tomorrow, Oct. 12, 2011. NCBA has been a leader in advocating support for these agreements, which will increase demand for U.S. beef, stimulate the U.S. economy and create jobs throughout the country.
