Plain-English summary
Declares that the Senate recognizes the need to respond to the European Community's ban on U.S. beef (ban implemented on all meat treated with growth hormones). Urges any and all measures necessary, including requiring the Secretary of Defense to order all U.S. commissaries in the Community to buy and sell only U.S. meat if the Community implements any counter-retaliatory trade sanctions against the United States. Calls upon the Community to cease its actions and to commence negotiations with the United States to resolve this dispute.
