i' Secretary of Agriculture Orville
,. Freeman recently stated that
tie United State* has been advised
y the government of Australia
hat their shipments of beef to the
Jnited States of beef, veal, mutton
nd lamb for 1964 are expected
o be 29 percent, or about 170
nilllon pounds, below shipments
or 1963
He also said that the situation
s much the same for New Zea-
and's exports to the United States
narket Information indicates that
Xew Zealand's shipments of beef
ind vest to the United State* tn
1964 are likely to be 22 percent,
x about 30 million pounds, below
exports in 1963.
Taking the two countries to-
gether. it now appear* that their
exports in 1964 of beef, veal and
button to the United States will
lecline from the 1963 total by 27
percent or 220 million pounds.
