Committee backs meat inspection reform after lengthy hearings
A House committee reports exhaustive hearings on Beveridge style meat inspection reform. It endorses shifting costs to government, rejects a special tax on single industries, and argues public confidence and consistent enforcement would improve national and international trust in American meat and oleo products. The minority led by Mr Bowle objects to a $2,000,000 increase and fears private packers' interests drive costly measures, urging court review protections and limiting government burden.
