for an emergency easing of regulations on meat post-Katrina? AP:

JACKSONVILLE, Ark. (AP) — British ready-to-eat meals donated for Hurricane Katrina victims are stuck on shelves at an air base in Arkansas because of strict U.S. regulations put in place after a mad cow disease scare.
Little Rock Air Force Base in Jacksonville, which has been the hub for all international Katrina aid, has received 1,842 tons of goods from dozens of countries since the hurricane hit the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29.
The meals containing British meat cannot be used because U.S. regulations prohibit the importation of British beef and poultry.
