The Obama administration will reverse two last-minute agriculture decisions made by the Bush administration, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced today in his first telephone news conference. The department will scrap a plan to pay for mandatory country-of-origin labeling with $3.2 million from a fruit and vegetable block grant program, and the public comment period on a farm subsidy payment limit rule has been extended for 60 days. It was due to expire Wednesday.
In other administration news, AP reports that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will name Todd Stern, the Clinton White House's top negotiator in the Kyoto Protocol talks, as a special envoy for climate change, according to U.S. officials.
Subscribers can read the full reports on the Agriculture Department moves and the Stern hiring at CongressDaily.
