Butz rejects more meat imports to aid housewives
Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz argues that imported meat mainly serves products like hamburger and would not significantly help housewives seeking roasts or steak. He opposes price controls on farm foods during peak prices and notes farm prices are cyclical. He predicts overall food prices to rise about 4 percent this year, with consumer spending on food about 15.5 percent of take home pay, while beef prices stay high due to tight supply.
