japan: us beef imports to conditionally resume

Japan is talking again about importing U.S. beef provided certain “risk materials that could transmit mad cow disease” are moved.

This is good news for the state of Kansas, which (according to a state employee who wishes to remain anonymous) has nearly twice as many cattle (5M) as people (2.7M). Senators Brownback and Roberts led the charge on this move; hopefully, some means can be found soon that will allow beef exports to Japan to resume while allowing Japan to protect its citizens.
