Support the bipartisan BEEF Act to halt the latest expansion of foreign beef imports, require congressional approval for future import expansions, and develop strategies to rebuild the American cattle herd, increase domestic beef production, improve competition and processing capacity, and lower beef costs.

The BEEF Act would: Suspend the Administration’s latest expansion of foreign beef imports. Require congressional approval before future presidential actions expanding beef imports can take effect. Establish a four-year Beef Import and Domestic Supply Advisory Board within USDA and direct it to develop strategies to rebuild the American cattle herd and increase domestic beef production. Advance policies to expand domestic processing capacity, improve livestock market competition, and lower beef costs for American families over the long term.

Vasquez's press release says his bipartisan BEEF Act would suspend the administration's foreign beef import expansion, require congressional approval for future import expansions, create a USDA advisory board to rebuild domestic cattle supply, and advance policies to lower beef costs.
