Earl L. Butz and Office of the Secretary

Abstract: Excerpt from address by Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz before the National Pork Congress, Kansas City, Mo., March 22, 1972: Last week I spoke in Texas on the need for strong cattle prices to assure expanded production of American beef. The next day a Washington newspaper carried a Page 2 headline: "Butz Praises Soaring Prices of U.S. Meat.” The opening sentence of the story emphasized that the Secretary of Agriculture “lauded the highest beef prices since the Korean War.” Those were the first words to greet the reader’s eye. The tone and approach of the article were not designed to boost my popularity rating with housewives.
