U.S. Senator Warns Japan of Sanctions
U.S. Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) warned Japan this week of economic sanctions if its import ban on U.S. beef continues, the Kyodo News reported.
"The embargo has gone on too long, and an amicable agreement must be reached soon or Congress will have no choice but to impose trade sanctions against Japan," Brownback said after meeting with Japanese Ambassador Ryozo Kato. "Our beef is the safest and highest quality in the world, and it's high time for Japan to recognize this," he said.

Gee I guess Senator Sam didn't hear R-CALFs claim that all beef coming from a country affect by BSE is tainted and unfit for human consumption. Or Judge Cebulls comment about the Genuine risk of DEATH that beef coming from a country affected by BSE presents. I think Oldtimer, Sandhusker, Haymaker and a few of you other R-CALFers better clue him in. And I think there are a few countries that would argue the SAFEST AND HIGHEST QUALITY IN THE WORLD statement. Maybe you R-CALFers should clue him into the loopholes, non compliance and a few of the other problems within the US system. :wink:
Tam- You have to remember tho that these people were comparing US beef to beef coming from a country with a cluster of diseased cattle
being found- a cluster that includes cattle being infected 3 years after the feed ban- a cluster that is still finding diseased animals- a cluster area that possibly has major feed ban issues,
but refuses to look at the evidence- even
fights to keep the evidence from coming out under oath--- Canada... :wink:
Tam- I finally figured it out- that wasn't a chicken picture-it was a snipe, since you continually snipe and snip away :wink: :lol:
