seeking
meat importation
HURON. S.D. - South
Dakota Farmers Union
President Ben Radcliffc
today termed “incredible” a
report that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture is
seeking legislation to allow
importation of fireign beef
infected with hoof and mouth
disease.
The USDA proposal would
allow the diseased meat to be
used in in-transit feeding
operations of caterers who
prepare meals for airline
and ship passengers.
USDA spokesmen claim
that the diseased meat,
properly cooked would pose
no undue risk, but Radcllffe
emphasized that “we have a
more than adequate
domestic supply of good,
healthy beef. There is no
reason whatsoever why we
should turn the United States
into a dumping ground for
diseased foreigh beef.”

The South Dakota farm
loader asserted that airline
and ship passengers should
not be subjected to any risk,
however small.
“Allowing the importation
of foreign beef infected with
hoof and mouth disease
could also pose a serious
threat to the health of
American livestock,"
Radcliffe said.
“Evidently Secretary Butz
and the USDA have ignored
the possibly tragic economic
disaster which an outbreak
of hoof and mouth disease
would mean to U.S. livestock
producers,” the farm leader
continued.
“It is interesting to note
that the USDA admits that
meat from counties where
hoof and mouth disease is
prevalent is regularly im
ported into the United States
ui cooked form” he added.
