AR-News: (CA/US-mt)Baucus wants border kept closed to cows

[Animalconcerns]

cattle imports until the investigative arm of Congress looks into Canada’s
handling of mad cow cases there, Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., said Tuesday.

Baucus’ call for an independent investigation by the General Accounting
Office came one day before the U.S. Department of Agriculture closes its
comment period on a proposal to reopen the border to cattle more than 30
months old.
