"Be sure you know which
agricultural products can and
which cannot be brought into
the United States from
Mexico."
That was the reminder issued
this week by the Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
Reason for the prohibition of
bringing certain agricultural
items into the United States is
that they may carry plant or
animal pests and diseases, an
APHIS spokesman said.
"If allowed to enter, pests and
diseases could cause millions of
dollars worth of damage to
crops, forests, farm animals
and ornamentals," the
spokesman added.
"Knowing what you may or
may not bring in speeds your
entry," he pointed out.
The APHIS spokesman
stressed that bringing in seed
cotton, cotton bolls and other
unprocessed cotton from
Mexico is prohibited.
He continued with this
outline:
Birds, pork, pork products
(including pork skins), poultry
meat, and eggs are subject to
U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) restrictions or
prohibitions. For information
on specific items, consult the
nearest USDA Animal and
Plant Health Inspection Service
(APHIS) office.
The following Mexican-grown
fruits, vegetables, and nuts are
allowed entry into the United
States;
FRUITS: Banana, black-
berry, cactus fruit, ceriman,
date, dewberry, grape, lemon,
lime (sour), lychee,
mangosteen, melon, papaya,
pineapple, strawberry. (All
other fruits are prohibited
entry.)
VEGETABLES: All
vegetables may be brought in
except potatoes, sweet
potatoes, and yams
(Dioscorea).
NUTS: Acorn, cocoa bean,
chestnut, coconut, peanut,
pecan, pinon (pinenut),
tamarind bean, walnut and
waternut.
LIMITED ENTRY:
Avocados without seed --
noncommercial lots may be
brought in except at California
border points. Okra - for entry
status, find out, in advance,
from an agricultural quaran-
tine office.
GENERAL
REQUIREMENTS: Declare all
items and make them available
for inspection. All items must
be free of plant and animal
pests and diseases, leaves,
twigs, soil, sand, and earth.
Some U.S. fruits taken into
Mexico may be returned to the
United States under certain
conditions. This list may be
revised without notice For
current information, contact
the nearest APHIS office.
Centers For Aged
To Get Funding
The Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare (HEW)
published interim regulations
today which would fund up to
three-fourths of the cost of
acquiring, renovating, or
altering facilities used as
multipurpose senior centers for
the elderly.
These facilities would be
funded under Title V of the
Older Americans Act
administered by the Ad-
ministration on Aging.
Regulations require that
centers be located within
walking distance of the elderly
to be served where possible,
and they provide for placing
special emphasis on par-
ticipation of low income and
minority older persons in the
program.
The centers are designed as
focal points in communities to
deliver social and nutrition
services for older persons.
Under the regulations, the
Administration on Aging
Commissioner can make grants
for the funding of these com-
munity facilities by public or
voluntary nonprofit agencies or
organizations and can enter into
contracts for the same purpose
with either public or private
agencies. Application forms
will be available at any one of
area_
the
over 500 state and
Offices on Aging across
country.
Groups seeking funding must
assure that facilities will meet
all state and local health, fire,
zoning, safety, and sanitation
codes. Other funding conditions
of the program, under these
interim regulations, include:
- Assurance that all acquired
facilities will be used as multi-
purpose senior centers for at
least 10 years;
- Compliance of all acquired
facilities with Architectural
Barriers Act;
- Determination of technical
adequacy of facilities by the
Department of Housing and
Urban Development.
Interested parties may-
submit written comments,
suggestions, or objections
within 60 days from the date of
publication of these interim
regulations in the Federal
Register to the Commissioner,
Administration on Aging, 400
6th Street, S.W., Washington,
D.C. 20201. Comments received
will be available for public
inspection in Room 4853, 400 6th
Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.
20201 on Monday through
Friday of each week from 9:00
to 5:30 P.M. (phone: 202-245-
