"NOW, THEREFORE, Your Memorialists respectfully pray that the
United States Department of Agriculture: (1) Reaffirm to the Congress
and the courts that the rule to lift the limited ban on importation of
Canadian beef is based on sound scientific proof that consumer safety
and animal health in the United States will be maintained; and (2)
redouble its efforts to swiftly and successfully conclude negotiations
with our trading partners to reestablish critical export markets for
United States beef based on the same sound science."
