Baucus urges Japan to ease beef imports restrictions
Senator Max Baucus told a news conference in Washington that Tokyo should remove or ease limits on high quality U S beef shipments. He linked support for domestic content legislation to progress in beef talks and warned of retaliatory steps if Japan refuses to improve access. He noted the current agreement expires March 31 and could boost U S cattle profits by about 500 million dollars if restrictions are lifted.
