To base the quotas on the average Imports of 19581962. inclusive. plus a proportionate share of the increase in domestic consumption. instead of production as provided in the 1964 Act. This seems to me appropriate since overproduction in the United States should not become the basis for swelling import quotas. and worsening any oversupply problem. 4. Inclusion of lamb. under the quota system. 5. The Inclusion of U.S. purchases from foreign suppliers by the Defense Department for consumption by U.S. armed forces abroad in any calculation of total imports. 6. To give the Secretary of Agriculture discretion to bring canned. cured. and preserved beef. mutton and lamb under similar controls.
