I commend the distinguished Senator from Nebraska for introducing this proposal. which seeks to meet the difficulties confronting the American cattle industry at the present time. As the Senator from Nebraska is aware. a number of us have had meetings with the legislative counsel of the National Cattlemens Association during the past weeks. and they have brought their proposals before us because of the situation in which the cattle industry finds itself. As one of the authors. together with the Senator from Nebraska and others. of the present import quota law. I do not think that the chief fault lies there. because under the agreements which were entered into on the basis of the approval of Congress. the ceiling has not as yet been reached. but it may be a factor. The Senator seeks to face up to that by calling for a reduction in the poundage of frozen beef and veal products from outside this country.
