(Bizz) Johnson, (D) Second District, coauthor of the Mansfield proposal to restrict imports of beef and livestock into this country hailed the Senate passage of the legislation and pledged to continue his efforts to move the bill in the House of Representatives. The Senate passed the bill last week by an overwhelming majority. Congressman Johnson was among the early sponsors of legis— lation which would spread the period upon which import quotas of beef and livestock would be based. The California Representative pointed out that existing agreements are based on years in which the impact of imports were extra ~ordinary. Utilization of this short term base, Congressman Johnson said, has a critical effect upon the domestic industry. "As California Cattleman's Association President Carl Twisselman has told me on several occasions, the livestock industry is willing toshare their market with other nations on the basis of the provisions of the Senate passed legislation, “ Congressman Johnsonsaid, “but certainly quota agreements based on the more restrictive 1962-63 base are extremely unfair. “Actually these agreements will depress prices below levels required for long-term growth required to meet our domestic needs, " Congressman Johnson also pointed out that other steps were being taken to alleviate the beef situation. Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman has told the Congressman of his proposed revisions to domestic quality standards for beef. These are in line with recommendations made by state and national cattle organizations, The major change proposed in the standards is a de-emphasis of maturity as a factor in grading beef from young cattle. This change is a direct reflection of recent research findings on the relationship of maturity tothe eating quality of beef.
