 Union in its efforts to secure the enactment of these measures. 



Resolved, That the recommendation of the Secretary of 

 Agriculture that all dairy products offered for export from 

 the United States be inspected and graded with a view of giv-

 eration thereof by the Congress of the United States is asked.
