Beef import loophole sparks protest and debt debate
A letter dated June 14 signed by about 60 colleagues protests imported beef evading the Meat Import Act of 1964 via a Mayaguez Puerto Rico packing plant. The piece urges administration action and notes a fruitful June 17 meeting with officials. The column also criticizes the debt ceiling vote of 184 to 177 to raise the limit to 700 billion by Sept 30 1977 and supports Food Stamp reforms by proposing a 4 billion appropriation to curb ineligible recipients and reduce waste.
