Findings and declaration of policy (a) Findings Congress finds that— (1) sheep and sheep products are important goods; (2) the production of sheep and sheep prod- ucts play a significant role in the economy of the United States in that sheep and sheep products are produced throughout the United States and used by millions of people through- out the United States and foreign countries; (3) sheep and sheep products must be high quality, readily available, handled properly, and marketed efficiently to ensure that con- sumers have an adequate supply of sheep prod- ucts; (4) the maintenance and expansion of exist- ing markets and development of new markets for sheep and sheep products are vital to the welfare of sheep producers and persons con- cerned with marketing, using, and producing sheep and sheep products, as well as to the general economy of the United States, and necessary to ensure the ready availability and efficient marketing of sheep and sheep prod- ucts; (5) there exist established State organiza- tions conducting sheep and sheep product pro- motion, research, and industry and consumer education programs that are invaluable to the efforts of promoting the consumption of sheep and sheep products; (6) the cooperative development, financing, and implementation of a coordinated national program of sheep and sheep product pro- motion, research, consumer information, edu- cation, and industry information are nec- essary to maintain and expand existing mar- kets and develop new markets for sheep and sheep products; and (7) sheep and sheep products move in inter- state and foreign commerce, and sheep and sheep products that do not move in such chan- nels of commerce directly burden or affect interstate commerce in sheep and sheep prod- ucts. (b) Policy It is the policy of Congress that it is in the public interest to authorize the establishment, through the exercise of the powers provided in this chapter, of an orderly procedure for devel- oping, financing (through adequate assessments on sheep and sheep products produced or im- ported into the United States), and carrying out an effective, continuous, coordinated program of promotion, research, consumer information, education, and industry information designed to— (1) strengthen the position of the sheep and sheep product industry in the marketplace; (2) maintain and expand existing domestic and foreign markets and uses for sheep and sheep products; and (3) develop new markets and uses for sheep and sheep products. (c) Construction Nothing in this chapter provides for the con- trol of production, or otherwise limits, the right of any person to produce sheep or sheep prod- ucts. (Pub.
