The letter was hand delivered to Bergland by Pope, Director of Nutrition and Consumer Affairs Chris Bushway, Washington Counsel Mike McLeod and Maurice Pickier, General Manager of EGGMAR. The UEP representatives met with Bergland and USDA Nutrition Coordinator Audrey Cross for over an hour to discuss in detail our objections to the new brochure. In the strongest possible terms, Pope’s letter alerted Bergland to deep-seated industry fears that have been realized in the Dietary Guidelines Stating that UEP members were “ap palled and disheartened” by the direction taken by USDA, Pope pointed out that all “positive data regarding our product were largely ignored . while the still controversial cholesterol issue was grossly over stated.” He also expressed the fear that the current ad ministration’s “apparently negative attitude” toward eggs would greatly jeopardize the longstanding, excellent working relationship UEP has en joyed with the Department. Referring to the economic losses that food-related industries can expect to suffer in the wake of the brochure’s publication, Pope said, “Ironically, it appears that the resulting economic impact to agriculture has been totally disregarded by the very agency founded to represent its interests.” When questioned con cerning the content of the brochure, Bergland said that since he himself did not possess a nutrition background, he had given Hegsted, USDA Nutrition Center Director, and Richmond, Surgeon General, “free license” to write these Guidelines. When asked why in dustries who will be vitally affected by this pamphlet were not contacted for their ideas, Bergland responded that they had not wanted any industry input. Maurice Pickier pointed out that Bergland was the administrator who would be ultimately responsible for all USDA actions and for all material forthcoming from the Department. Bergland then recom mended UEP meet with Hegsted and the other researchers to discuss our differences, and Audrey Cross agreed to set up such a meeting. Before the meeting ended, Bushway brought to the Secretary’s attention the JhL Fickes Silo Company Inc.
