Report of Meeting of Representatives of American Dairy Industry Associations, Relating to the United States Affiliating with the International Dairy Federation

Animal Husbandry Research Division, USDA, Washington, D. C.

ABSTRACT

During the meetings of the 14th International Dairy Congress held in Rome, Italy, September 24–28, 1956, the officers of the International Dairy Federation (IDF) invited the members of the Official United States Delegation to a meeting, for the purpose of outlining the objectives and program of that organization and to solicit the affiliation of the United States with the Federation. The recommended type of country membership is a national committee composed of representation from all segments of the industry, including production, manufacture, science, commerce, and administration. The present membership comprises 22 countries.

The officers of IDF were advised that the United States delegation would study the proposal and, if possible, ascertain the interest of the major associations of the American dairy industry in forming a national committee and taking out a membership.

At a meeting of the United States Delegation in Rome, the members instructed its Chairman, R. E. Hodgson, to assume the responsibility for the group, in taking the necessary steps to acquaint the major dairy industry associations with the objectives and program of IDF, and to solicit their interest in the membership proposal; and further, to provide the opportunity for these associations to come together and formulate such plans and actions as they considered desirable in relation to the invitation to membership in IDF.
