Tighten milk import rules hinges on agency shift
Two dairy state senators from Wisconsin, William Proxmire and Gaylord Nelson, urge Congress to move dairy import classification duties from the Bureau of Customs to the Agriculture Department to curb alleged loopholes and lax enforcement. They challenge the Monterey cheese classification under New Zealand quotas and seek FDA review for possible misbranding. The Agriculture Department also announced the elimination of a peanut stabilization advisory committee, saying it had served its purpose since 1962.
