Plan to Eradicate Foot and Mouth Disease
Plans for controlling foot and mouth disease are complete. A Mexico City office will direct the eradication, with a Mexican official as director and a U.S. representative as second in command. Each country will appoint a three-man panel under the directors. Most equipment will be provided by the United States, and livestock disease specialists will be recruited. The effort aims to confine the disease to Mexico, with a risk of crossing into Texas if unsuccessful.
