Show . Dear Steve: I feel that one of the most commendable situations that has occurred during my time as a teacher and administrator and citizen of Milford was displayed dis-played in our recent Beaver at Miliord basketball game. I have commended both teams for their extreme efforts in striving for victory and a hard-fought, entertaining basketball bas-ketball game. At this time I would like to extend publicly cur thanks as a school to our patrons of Milford and our student stu-dent body for working toward the improvement of over - all sportsmanship, so the performance perform-ance of our basketball teams will not be hampered. All 1 can say is that Friday night was a step in the direction direc-tion we are desirous of attaining. attain-ing. Express this sincere thanks lor us please. Sincerely, JESSE E. LONG. I Dear Steve: Following is copy of a letter I mailed Jan. 17 to Orville L. Freeman, Secretary of Agricul- 1 ture: Dear Mr. Secretary: As you indicated in your briefing to the Members of Congress on Jan. 16, "The United States is the only open market for beef in the world." It appears to me that this unique position is a major factor fac-tor in our present dilemma, wherein our cattle industry is depressed by foreign imports while at the same time we are afraid to give like treatment or apply pressures for fear of retaliation. It is a vicous cycle from which we must eventually extricate ourselves. Our cattle industry continues to suffer while we talk about it. We will continue to suffer from the trade policies of other nations until we take positive and firm action, even if this means treading somewhat some-what upon their toes. We are not asking for ill-considered ill-considered action without any regard for the consequences. We are asking that something be done to let the world know that we cannot and will not continue to receive abuses in the realm of international trade. Sincerely, Laurence J. Burton, Member of Congress. |
