USD A Asks Additional Import
Controls on 4 Dairy Products
The Dcp.i tment of Agiiculluic
has asked the United Slates
Tariff Commission for a finding
that additional impoil controls
are necessary for four daily pro
ducts which at picscnt may be
imported without icslnclion.
The four are: ice cream, choco
late crumb with a fat content of
5 5 per cent or less, animal feeds
containing milk or milk deriva
tives. and certain cheese con
taining 0 5 per cent or less by
weight of butterfat
The Commission is currently
making an investigation of these
dairy products under the author
ity of Section 22 of the Agucul
tmal Adjustment Act, as
amended The investigation was
oidered by Piesident Nixon upon
i ecommendation of Secretary
Hardin.
Section 22 directs the Secre
tary of Agiicultuie to advise the
President whenever he has rea
son to believe that ai tides aie
being imported, or are likely to
be imported, in such quantities
as to interfere with the price
support program foi milk and
butterfat. If the President agrees
that there is reason for such
belief, he causes an investigation
by the Tariff Commission to be
undertaken. Upon receiving the
Commission’s report and recom
mendations, the President must,
by proclamation, establish or
modify import quotas in such a
manner as he determines to be
necessary within the limit stated
in the law.
Speaking for the Department,
A Richard DeFelice, Assistant
Deputy Administrator of the
Foreign Agricultural Service,
declaied that the daily price
support program is threatened
by imports ofrthertour products
concerned.
He pointed out that, of the
four, three weie new items
which had never appeared in
international commerce until
after the last time that import
controls were tightened
“There continues to be a world
dany surplus pressing for entry
into the United States market,”
Mr. DeFehce said “The prob
lems we are encountering mirror
the pull of an attractive market
in the United States and the push
of excessive supplies in the mam
exporting countries The threat
should be stopped before it gets
out of control ”'
Most dairy products are al
ready controlled by import
quotas. Because of the quotas,
total dairy imports of 1969 were
held to approximately 16 billion
pounds, milk equivalent, an
amount equal to 14 per cent of
U.S. milk production This was
the lowest level in four years.

Dairy Organization Sets
Industry Ecology Study
The Greater Pittsburgh Dairy
Association recently announced
an in-depth study of ecological
problems affecting the milk
industry and its customers
C. J. Milroth, executive secie
tary of the association repre
senting some 50 major dairies
and ice cream companies in
Pennsylvania Area 11, said
there is mounting concern
among dairymen over prob
lems of the environment. Area
II in the state’s milk industry
embraces all of Allegheny
County and portions of adja
cent counties.
All phases of the industry
will be covered in the study.
Milroth said, in an effort to
find corrective measures and
new operating techniques which
may be useful in the mounting
battle against air and water
pollutants.
The dairy industry also is
vitally concerned in the icle
pesticides play in creating an
ecological imbalance, primarily
in relation to the use of such
chemical compounds in fodder
or grain fed dairy herds, Mil
roth said.
Dairy product packaging,
now more than 70 per cent
paper or plastic, is another
area the study will probe in the
search of ways to find a solu
tion for the satisfactory disposal
of the discarded cartons.
Milroth said the study will
seek the views of experts in all
areas dealing directly and in
directly with the dairy industry.
These will include manufactur
ers of trucks, plant equipment
and packaging materials, as
well as oil companies and then
refineries.
County officials and local or
ganizations will be consulted in
order to bring the results of
their research into the dairy
study.
Dairies represented by the
association in 1969 reported
sl2s .million in gross sales rea
lized on the delivery of milk
and related products to homes
and stores Almost 100 million
gallons of milk was processed
and'delivered to three million
customers in addition to ice
cream, cheese and other dairy
products.

The Department's specific rec
ommendations ate as follows
(1) ice ci earn should have a zeio
quota, since all imports classi
fied as "ice cream” have in actu
ality been ice cieam mixes with
no lecord of trade in the genuine
product; (2) the quota for ani
mal feeds containing milk or
milk derivatives (known as
“milk leplacei” feeds) should
be at the aveiage of 1968-69 im
ports, and (3) the other two
dims should be made subject to
existing quotas for normal choc
olate ciumb and for miscellane
ous “other” cheese The Depart
ment also strongly urged that
the Commission complete its in
vestigaton and leport as quickly
as possible
