Irvin Mann Lauds New Beef Import Bill
(Continued on page 8)
House bill 1839, recently pass
ed by Congress, is of "tremen
dous significance" because It
limits beef Imports to 6.7 of
the domestic production in the
United States for any year. Ir
vln Mann of Stanfleld. Reoubli-
can candidate for representative
in the state legislature from the
2Kth district, told the Heppner
Morrow County Chamber of
Commerce Monday.
Mann, a member of the Ore
gon Beef Council, reviewed the
recent history of the increase in
meat imports, saying that in
1954 the imports were 1.8 of
the domestic production, but
thoy increased to 10.7 by 1963,
and this despite the fact that
the domestic production had In
creased 18 per cent or three bil
lion pounds.
Australia made a strong ef
fort to invade the market, he
said. They hired analysts to sur
vey world markets at a cost of
$250,000 and had representatives
attend all hearings of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and
the State Department
Imports from Australia in 19t?0
were 144.684.000 lb. and in 1963
soared to 51623,000 lb., he said, i
New Zealand Imports climbed
from 130,723,000 lb. in 1959 to
235.690.000 lb. in 1963.
The American National Cattle
mens association asked for a
quota based on the average of
me last rive years or imports.
but the State Department made
a voluntary agreement on the
average of the last two years
or imports, or a total or 703.963.
000 lb. from Australia and New
Zealand, and also provided an
annual automatic 3.7 Increase,
'The beef cattle industry was
not satisfied with this," Mann
said.
The State Department then
commenced a series of "divers
ionary" tactics, the speaker de
clared. It started purchasing an
average or some seven million
pounds of boned rolled roasts
per week for school lunch pro
grams; it checked the retail
beef industry for possible mon
opoly; and it went abroad to
seek new markets for meat ex
ports, finding them in Italy.
Germany and possibly France.
Mann said that the State De
partment apparently feared
tnat more severe limitations o
aize a general agreement on
trades and tariffs, discussions on
which were underway at Gen
eva. Purpose of the discussions
is to seek to lower the tariffs
among countries of the free
world. First negotiations sought
to decrease the tariffs by 50
Dut sights were lowered to 30
"The belief is that if we can
arrive at this, it will increase
our total economy by 5, which
is not an inconsiderable figure."
luar.n said.
'This was the dilemma the
State Department found itself in,
and we dldnt know anything
aoout it.
Sixty Congressmen introduced
a bill seeking a five-year aver
age on meat imports, but when
it seemed apparent that it
wouldn't go this year" because
of other matters pending in
Congress. Sen. Mansfield found
an opportunity to "tack on an
amendment to HR 1839. a bill
relating to imports of zoo ani
mals, prohibiting beef imports
from exceeding 6.7 of the es
timated production for any year,
as contrasted with the actual
its beef imports might Jeopar- imports of 10.7 in 1963.
The bill is not literally in ef
fect, but has an "automatic trig
gering" device. Mann explained
"If the Secretary of State finds
that imports will exceed the
quota, he will advise the offend
ing nations that he will not ac
cept any more beef. It is a warn
ing to the other nations with
the hope that they will police
themselves."
He said that the President Is
encouraged to police the sit
uation all the time to see that
no one port gets more than its
share of imports. Imports to Port
land in 1964 exceeded those of
1963. although imports this year
were generally down.
Mann credited Cong. Al Ull-
man with help in passage of the
bill, but Congresswoman Edith
Green of Portland opposed it.
Rep. Duncan and Sen. Morse
voted in favor. Sen. Neuberger
abstained and Cong. Norblad
was absent
Larry Lindsay. Morrow county
campaign manager for Mann,

it was demolished in the crash.
The Raymond car sustained
