Mr. Speaker. it is with great pleasure that I join with my colleague from Texas in the cointroduction of this much needed meat import quota bill. I commend him for the research. the portrayal. and the solution. All phases of agriculture have been caught in a "price squeeze" that threatens the viability of the entire farm economy. and surely penalizes the producer. Recently. the livestock sector has not been immune from the price squeeze. Cattle prices are down 10.4 percent from March of 1966. Pork prices are down 25 percent and sheep prices are down 16 percent from the same period.
