    File Name: 021021-836517-usda-oppe-acmf-writtentranscript Producer: Welcome all, and thank you for joining today's teleconference, Advisory Committee on Minority Farmers, ACMF teleconference meeting. Please note that all lines will be muted until the open comment portion of the call. We will provide you with instructions on how to participate at that time.

My name is Eston Williams and today I am serving as the Designated Federal Officer also known as the DFO. This is the third meeting of the United States Department of Agriculture Advisory Committee on Minority Farmers. I would like to welcome the 15 appointed member of the committee and thank everyone for participating. Secretary of Agriculture appointed committee members that represent social disadvantaged farmers or ranchers, nonprofit organizations, civil rights organization, or professions and institution of higher education. All members have been briefed on ethics, civil rights, and their responsibilities. As the DFO, it is my responsibility to make sure that the committee adheres to requirement established by the Federal Advisory Committee Act also known as FACA. The FACA was established in 1972, firmly recognizing the merits of seeking the advice and assistance of our citizen.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.
