SOUTH KOREA gets Bush pledge on beef - (CNNMoney.com)
June 7, 2008 – 7:17 pmSEOUL, South Korea — President Bush was cited as pledging Saturday to come up with measures to ensure that beef from older cattle - considered at greater risk of mad cow disease - is not exported to South Korea, Seoul’s presidential office said.
Bush made the remark during a phone conversation with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, the presidential Blue House said. Lee’s fledgling government has been battered by daily protests over an April agreement to resume imports of U.S. beef.
“President Bush said he sufficiently understands South Koreans’ concerns and worries,” it said in a statement. “In this regard, (Bush) pledged to prepare specific measures to make sure that beef from cattle aged 30 months or older is not exported to South Korea.”
It did not say what those measures would be.
The White House did not respond to requests for comment on the South Korean description of the Bush-Lee conversation.
