imagine the senators' blood pressure if mexico said they'll set the standards in their slaughter houses for meat exported to the states!!!  gotta be impressed with their arrogance and blindness.  this illustrates the stupidity of canada haveng usda and ncba in to give their blessing to our procedures when they are only half-hearted in their commitment to free trade.  we'd be further ahead to deal with japan directly or china - now there's a growing market.
