Meat Prices Push Congress Toward Repealing 1964 Quota Law
Meat prices jump signaling a consumer push in Congress to repeal the 1964 import quota law. Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal argues the law is a standby sword over consumers as imports rise, while Nixon has suspended quotas in 1972 and again this year to allow more beef into U.S. markets. Rosenthal notes rising discontent and a possible consumer boycott. Beef costs average over 1.22 dollars per pound, with prices up nearly 10 percent in a year and cattle prices at record peaks. The industry warns against rapid expansion that could drive prices down. The story also reports Michigan State pitcher Larry Ike’s 23-win college career.
