D3o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 6,1980
DENVER, Colo. - The
National Cattlemen’s
Association recently voiced
strong opposition to the
Administration plans to
suspend limits on meat
imports in 1961.
The NCA statement
followed a government
estimate of 1981 imports and
an announcement of plans to
suspend quotas and not
negotiate import restraints
with the exporting nations.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has now
estimated that, without
controls, imports subject to
the Meat Import Law would
total 1,458 million pounds in
1961. This is 11 million
pounds more than the import
law, with its counter-cyclical
quota formula, would nor
mally permit next year.
Claiming that the total
meat supply in 1981 will be
inadequate, the Ad
ministration said it intended
to suspend the import quotas
which apply to beef and veal
By law, the Administration
must make a decision on 1981
meat import restrictions by
January 1.

president, strongly criticized
the Carter administration’s
action, and he pointed out
that, as in past cases like
this, the action actually
could be counter-productive
and hurt the public as well as
cattlement.
Carlson said, “First, it
should be recognized that,
because of rapidly
escalating costs as well as
lower cattle prices, most
cattlemen have been losing
money recently. While the
estimated amount of extra
meat to be unported is not
large, the government’s
action may create more
uncertainty and discourage
many cattlemen. This can
halt or limit the rebuilding of
cattle herds. As a result, the
public may see less beef and
higher prices in future years
than otherwise would be the
case.
“Secondly, I point out that
domestic beef producers in
1981 will be about as large as
in 1980. The consumer price
problem that the govern
ment refers to is a result
basically of government
caused inflation as well as
smaller supplies of other
meats. Yet, the Ad
ministration has chosen, in
an obviously political move
as it goes out of office, to

“We are very disappointed
that the Administration has
now elected to ignore the
spirit of the counter-cyclical
import provisions and go
ahead with a needless and
counter-productive move to
suspend quotas.’’
The estimated 1981 import
total will be only slightly
greater than the 1980 import
total (which was well below
the quota-tnggering point
under the law), but the
suspension announcement is
“just exactly the kind of
news the cattle industry does
not need at this tune,” estimate exceeds the law’s
