The White House. Washington. D.C. Since last September. American cattle feeders have lost more than $1.5 billion. They are in desperate trouble. and the 1.55 billion pounds of imported meat expected to flood our market this year is compounding a critical situation. The expected import level this year of seven percent of domestic production is too high. The quotas called for by the 1964 Meat Import Quota Law should be Immediately imposed. I urgently request that you move immediately to impose restrictions on imports of beef. Japan. Canada and the Common Market countries are turning away beef shipments. and it is imperative the United States act to prevent the dumping of these shipments on our own depressed market.
