Once the fly had been identified it looks like a common house fly with hairy eyes USDA con ducted a survey of the air base and nearby cattle farms. Of the 70,000 flies caught, none were the foreign pest. However, USDA inspectors Lebanon, PA tound a second male fly at the air base a short time later. “Thus far,” Wilson said, “there is no indication that the foreign fly has established itself in the United States or that those found were infected with the parasite. We’re planning a second survey for the spring of 1983 to make sure.” NCFC urges Block to use ex, order on marketing orders WASHINGTON, D.C. The National Council of Farmer Cooperatives urged Agriculture Secretary John Block last week to utilize a 32- year-old Executive Order in administering agricultural marketing orders. In a letter to Block, NCFC President Gary D. Myers referred to Executive Order No. 10199, 15 F. R. 9217, dated Dec. 21, 1950, in which President Harry S. Truman declared: ‘‘l hereby authorize the Secretary of Agriculture to make, without the approval of the President, such regulations with the force and effect of law as may be necessary to carryout the powers vested in him by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended.” Myers added that as far as NCFC could determine, this Executive Order is still in effect. He suggested that Block refer the Office of Management and Budget to it, and said NCFC will do all it can to help Block overcome any effort to alter or ignore its clear directive. OMB attempted to exercise excessive authority over marketing orders this year, after they were targeted for official attention by the Vice President’s Task Force on Regulatory Reform. Later, some 20 mem bers of congress asked Block to resist any Administration moves to redirect marketing order policy without congressional con sultation. Block and Assistant Secretary McMillan discussed the congressional request in a subsequent meeting with the vice president. Bush said he felf USDA had discharged its obligation to the regulatory reform task force by adopting and publishing marketing order guidelines in early 1982. Thereafter, Block reaffirmed • »the Ad ministration’s support of marketing orders and reasserted USDA’s authority over marketing order programs. Myers said NCFC will continue to watch this area closely for signs of OMB slippage or in terference.
