Consumers are no longer interested in the Nixon administrations rhetoric of "promise but not performance" in the food price area. The USDAs stewardship of the Nations food supply and the administrations handling of the economy have been catastrophic. Congress must face up to this challenge even if the administration is unwilling to. Two things must be done immediately: First. The Meat Import Quota Actwhich limits the importation of foreign beefmust be repealed. not simply suspended. and Second. Reasonable price restraints must be placed on products at the farm level. Along with.32 of my colleagues. I have already introduced legislation to abolish the meat quota law and to refreeze meat prices at November 1972 levels .
