Glickman Announces Additional $1 Million To Promote U.S. Lamb WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman recently announced that USDA will begin accepting proposals to fund up to $1 mil lion in competitive marketing and promotion projects under the market promotion funding of the Lamb Meat Adjustment Assistance Measures Program. On Nov. 15, Glickman an nounced the initial awards of 15 cooperative agreements totaling nearly $3.85 million under this program. The additional funds were made available to provide a greater opportunity for the lamb industry to make domestic lamb meat more competitive with imported meat. New or existing programs that focus on marketing, promo tion, merchandising, market feasibility analysis, market iden tification, or value enhancement will be considered for funding. “These additional marketing and promotion efforts are an in tegral part of the assistance duction Forum & Annual Meet! 9:30 AM - 10 AM 10 AM - 10:30 AM 10:30 AM -11 AM 11 AM - 12 12 - 1 PM 1 PM - 2 PM measures developed at the re quest of the President to help the U.S. lamb industry achieve long term, sustained competitive ness,” said Glickman. In February 1999, the U.S. In ternational Trade Commission ruled 6-0 that a surge of low priced imported lamb meat was causing the threat of injury to U.S. lamb producers. In July 1999, President Clinton an nounced a three-year assistance package for domestic producers. The package made $5O mil lion available during the first year and makes an additional $5O million available during the second and third years for pro duction improvements, market promotion, animal health and domestic purchases. Funding for the promotion projects will be awarded prior to Feb. 1, 2001, with projects to be completed by Sept. 30,2002.
