D.C. MY DEAR MR. PRESIDENT: As you are aware. the evasion of our meat import quota system through the shipment of meat through third countries has become an increasingly serious problem last year and thus far this year. Under our present regulatory system each of the principal supplying countries has agreed to a quota (under sec. 204 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1956) on the quantity of meat which may be shipped to the United States. However. last year a practice grew up within the trade of shipping meat from Australia and New Zealand to Canada. and then transshipping it across the border into this country.
