	No. 03-1164: Veneman v. Livestock Mktg. Ass'n - Petition
		The generic advertising of beef under that program serves public purposes identified by Congress, is confined to a message specified by Congress, and is disseminated by a governmental entity that was created by Congress and is subject to the supervision of the Secretary.
