Hatch took the Senate floor last week to blast President Carter's decision to increase beef import quotas, citing this action as "just another example of the Administration's Ad-ministration's total disregard for the western states." Hatch said, "It is further proof that the President is literally writing off the livestock industry of the west, including the cattlemen themselves." Speaking from the floor of the United States Senate, Senator Hatch iterated his earlier comment: "The President has succumbed to consumer pressure at the expense of the cattlemen of this country." The Utah Senator said that the federal government will discontinue its efforts to manipulate the beef market by adjusting quotas. At a time when the price of beef would normally decline anyway due to consumer use and market demands, the President, by his quota juggling action, will appease many consumer groups and take full credit for any drop in beef prices." The Utahn also cited Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland's remark about the importing of beef when Bergland labeled the decision a "tragic mistake." "The long term impact of this decision will be monumental and could reduce the beef production in the United States drastically," Hatch said. |
