Wisconsin Senator Praises Defense Dept Butter Policy Change
Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin applauds DoD leadership under Robert McNamara for shifting Army rations from margarine to butter.

Nelson cites 28 million pounds butter bought since last June and urges extending butter as a mess option, while considering restoring color additives ban on margarine.
