I mentioned last month that Rep. Peter Welch is a co-sponsor of a House bill on dairy policy and that Sen. Sanders was circulating a draft Senate bill. Sen. Sanders has since introduced his bill with Sen. Leahy as a co-sponsor.
The House bill is H.R.5288 and is titled the "Dairy Price Stabilization Program Act of 2010." Info on Thomas and GovTrack. (Thomas is the official web site, but GovTrack is easier to use. It should be the same information, as GovTrack gets its information from Thomas.)
The Senate bill is S.3531 and is titled the "Dairy Market Stabilization Act of 2010." Info on Thomas and GovTrack.
Senators Sanders and Leahy will hold a press conference about S.3531 at the Lucky J. Holsteins Farm in South Burlington (John, Joyce and Todd Belter) at 10 AM on Monday, July 12.
