inspection operations. Dr. Ronald
J. Prucha, a veterinarian who was
formerly assistant deputy ad
ministrator for meat and poultry
inspection operations, will serve as
acting deputy administrator of
meat and poultry inspection
operations, overseeing the
domestic inspection force.
Houston said the control and
inspection of imported meat,
which the foreign programs
division oversees, has become a
matter of growing concern and
complexity during the last several
years. Last August, FSIS in
spectors discovered illegal ship
ments of horse and kangaroo meat
from Australia which led to the
impoundment of 66 million pounds
of product from that country.
As recently as March 26, FSIS
announced that four Costa Rican
meat plants would be removed
from the list of approved exporters
to the United States because they

were shipping adulterated product
to this country.
“These are just two highly
visible instances where FSIS
stepped in to ensure a safe and
wholesome supply of imported
meat for consumers,” Houston
said.
In addition to the foreign
programs division, the export
coordination staff and the
veterinary attache will report to
Berry. The export coordination
staff provides assistance to the
meat and poultry industry m
meeting the exporting
requirements of foreign markets.
This group has helped maintain
and open foreign export markets
for U.S. meat and poultry firms by
overcoming trade restrictions
based on unrealistic or un
necessary health and inspection
requirements, Houston said.
The veterinary attache
represents U.S. interests to the
European Economic Community.
