The farm income decline is felt by many other segments of the national economy. Farmers are purchasing less equipment. fewer and cheaper automobiles. and less consumer goods than a year ago. They are being forced to seek more and bigger loans to meet operating expenses. The meat import bill would tighten the present meat import quota law and make it more realistic with conditions that occur in the allimportant farm segment of our Nations economy. I am pleased at the broad support already shown by Members of this great body for this legislation. The number of cosponsors is indicative of the grave national concern over the status of the farm economy.
