President Bush has formed a high level panel to study the safety of imports.  These food safety experts will be on the panel.

Alberto (I don't recall) Gonzales, Attorney General;

Michael Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services;

Condoleeza (piano player) Rice, Secretary of State;

Mike (meat packer lackey) Johanns, Secretary of Agriculture;

Michael (New Orleans) Chertoff, Secretary of Homeland Security;

Henry (I hate protectionists) Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury;

Carlos (I see no currency manipulation) Gutierrez, Secretary of Commerce;

Mary Peters, Secretary of Transportation.

I suggest starting with Chinese (salmonella) shrimp, Vietnamese (flouroquinolone) catfish, Hersheys (salmonella) kisses and Uruguayan (foot and mouth disease) beef as the main courses for a personal taste test.  Served nicely, with white linen, on that big table around which they meet.
