A special congressional committee holds out the best chance at having needed reforms implemented by immediate legislative and administrative action. Fourth. The repeal of the Meat Import Quota Act so as to permit foreign suppliers of lean beef to increase their production and importation into this country. While the administration has suspended the Meat Import Quota Act for this year. foreign beef producers fear that these suspensions can be terminated at will and hence they refuse to increase their production of beef. The tragedy here is that lean imported beef is used in the production of hamburger meat. hot dogs. and sausage products which are consumed in large quantities by lowincome people. Today in New York City. the price for a pound of hamburger meat averages around 99 cents a pound and hot dogs 97 cents a pound.
