Dur?2 Knebel's visit to Lincoln, he briefly toured the Nebraska tractor testing station and spbke on the UNL East Cam pus after watching a meat processing demonstration. Knebel and others present were sur Jjrised when Roger Mandigo, head of UNL Loeffel Meat Lab, concluded his explana tion of the meat processing technique by pressing some meat into the shape of Nebraska. Knebel described the beef and wheat industries as "down, but not out." He said the UJS. Agriculture Dept. would soon stop the flow of beef imports from Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. ' Foreign meat had been getting around the import quota and into this country through this port. Knebel predicted quotas on beef im ports will be continued next year unless beef prices sharply increase in the UJS- "The essence of what the President wants in agriculture is the continuance of policies he and (former Agriculture Secre tary) Earl Butz developed," Knebel siii. Knebel moved .from under secretary of the US. Agriculture Dept. after the re signation of Eutz. He said Congress must face new farm legation next year and wCl meet pressure to improve crop disaster programs and target price guarantees. . Agreeing that current farm legislation needs adjustment, Knebel said he thinks there would be "a proper upward advance in the target price" of farm products. A guaranteed target price would insure the farmer a price calculated to pay ex penses amd provide profit. No guaranteed target price now exists. During a downtown press conference Knebel said his trip was for campaign purposes and paid for by the Ford election committee. Knebel called Jimmy Carter's agricul ture program "just a bunch of peanuts." When asked about a secret memo passed around federal departments advising against ethnic jokes, Knebel said it might exist although he had no knowledge of it. He said that because of Blitz's travels he had been acting secretary before his for mal appointment. Knebel was escorted by retiring UJS. Sen.. Roman Hmska and bis Lincoln visit was hosted by UJ5.
