we don't need a new usda catfish inspection program. the food and drug administration already tests catfish along with all other seafood, but certain farm bill conferees are insisting on creating a catfish office because catfish farmers in southern states don't want to compete against foreign catfish importers, particularly those from vietnam. its true purpose is trade protectionism at the taxpayers' expense. under this farm bill, there will be a virtual ban on catfish imports for several years, while foreign inspectors switch from f.d.a.'s inspection procedures to usda's catfish procedures. the government accountability office investigated the proposed catfish office and in four different reports, four different reports called it duplicative and wasteful and warned that it fragments our food safety system by splitting f.d.a.'s responsibility to inspect seafood. in fact, one government accountability office report simply titled -- quote -- "responsibility for inspecting catfish should not be assigned to usda," and it called on congress
