REPORT OF THE

COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES

Assessment

Of The National

Grain Inspection System

Department of Agriculture

Serious weaknesses in the national grain in-
spection system require fundamental changes
that will restore the system's credibility and
attain its intended objectives.

The Congress should establish an essentially
all-Federal grain inspection system incorpo-
rating sampling, grading, and weighing services
which

--would be phased in gradually (1) start-
ing immediately at problem locations,
(2) moving as soon as possible to port
elevators, and (3) after sufficient ex-
perience is gained, extending to major
inland terminals and

--would be operated on a reimburs-
able basis.

The Secretary of Agriculture should improve
procedures for handling complaints from
foreign buyers of U.S. grain and should
intensify research and development on the
official U.S. grain standards.
