million below the estimate an
nounced in December.
He said that this quantity
would not at this time require
Presidential action to invoke
meat import quotas foi 1967.
Public Law 88482, enacted in
August 1964, provides that if
yearly imports of certain meats
primarily beef and veal
are estimated to equal or ex
ceed 110 peicent of an adjust
ed base quota, the President
must invoke a quota on meat
imports. The adjusted base
quota lor 1967 of 904 6 million
pounds was announced in Dec
ember. The level of estimated
imports which would trigger
its imposition is 995 0 million
pounds
Secretary. Freeman said the
estimate of imports was revised
downward primarily because a
survey of major supplying
countries made in February in
dicated that Australian supplies
will be less than had been ex
pected, and bacause the spread
between U S and European
prices will not be as large as
had been anticipated He noted
that Januaiy imports were com
paiatively large But he said
that current infoimation points
to decreased meat impoits in
