In States which currently prohibit garbage feeding the ban would remain in effect. This proposed legislation provides for enforcement through a cooperative system of State and Federal agreements. Especially considering recent outbreaks of African swine fever now detected in the Dominican Republic and Cuba and the recent movement of Cuban refugees to the United States. quick preventitive action is needed. The seriousness of the situationwith the disease prevalent in areas so close to our shoresmust be recognized by my colleagues today. It is my hope that this important legislation can be enacted as expeditiously as possible so that Americas swine producers. the pork industry. and consumers can be protected from any possible invasion of this dread swine fever.
