Senate probes grain inspection amid bribery cases
The Senate agriculture committee ordered a staff and subcommittee investigation into the U.S. grain inspection system amid 12 indictments on Gulf Coast bribery. The probe, directed by Sen. Humphrey and Sen. Dole, will have subpoena powers to examine procedures and potential conflicts of interest as imports and export volumes rise. Federal prosecutors continue probing bribes to upgrade grain and clear dirty holds while inspectors face calls for reform and possible federal employment changes.
