Regulation Fight Clears Senate Passage Of Packing Bill
In a bitter Senate vote 45 to 21 the regulatory bill for meat packers passed after seven days of debate. Amendments by Senator Kenyon added recordkeeping and uniform methods, while an amendment aimed at excluding small butchers was adopted. The bill, now to conference, preserves USDA管 oversight with penalties on deceptive practices and anti monopoly measures. The House bill previously passed aimed to regulate by a livestock commissioner, but the Senate version retains broader federal reach.
