After years of trepidation the unwanted happened: a cow afflicted with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)—mad cow disease—was discovered in the U.S.

Urge the US Department of Agriculture to help protect the American public against mad cow disease by taking the following steps: test more cattle for BSE, institute a mandatory animal tracking system, prohibit the use of vertebral columns from cattle of all ages in advance meat recovery systems (in a recent USDA survey, one out of three samples of stripped meat was contaminated with central nervous-system tissue), publicly release distribution lists during voluntary recalls, and ask Congress for mandatory recall authority.
