C. RALPH MILLER B. D. 4, Manheim, Pa.' Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 6, 1968 Estimated Meat Imports In 1968 Calendar Year Revised Upward Secretary of Agriculture Or ville L. Freeman announced re cently that the second quarterly estimate of meat imports into the United States during 1968 place the expected total at 925 million pounds. He pointed out that, although this quantity was 25 million pounds above the estimate an nounced in December, it was 120 million pounds below the amount which would require Presidential action to invoke meat import quotas for 1968 Thus such quotas will not be necessary at this time. Public Law 88-482, enacted in August 1964, provides that if yearly imports of certain meats primai ily beef and veal are estimated to equal or exceed 110 percent of an adjusted base quota, the Piesident is required to invoke a quota on meat im ports The adjusted base quota for 1968 of 950 3 million pounds was announced in December. The level of estimated imports which would trigger its imposi tion is 1,045.3 million pounds Secretary Freeman said the Ph. 665-338& , v estimate of imports was revised upward primarily because a sur vey of major supplying coun tries made in February indicat ed that the drought condition in Australia is expected to increase slaughter and thus supplies will, be greater than previously ex pected. He said that the U. K. ban on beef imports from foot and mouth disease countries which will be lifted on April 15 had not created any signifi cant diversion of Australian and New Zealand beef from the U.S. to the U K. market. Secretary Freeman noted that the domestic demand for beef continues to be strong and that Febiuary prices received by farmers for cattle were aboie year earlier levels He indicated that this situation is expected to continue throughout 1968.
