Donald L. Houston, D.V.M.
In Memoriam
Donald L. Houston, D. V.M.
The Food and Drug Law Institute regretfully notes the
death of Donald L. Houston, D.V.M., on February 19,
1988. Dr. Houston had been the Administrator of the
USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
since October 1987, and served for seven years prior to
that as the Administrator of the Food Safety and Inspec-
tion Service.
Dr. Houston was born in East St. Louis, Illinois, and
began his career there with USDA in 1961. At USDA,
Dr. Houston amassed many honors and awards, includ-
ing the highest award for career federal executives, re-
cieved under both the Carter and Reagan administra-
tions. Secretary of Agriculture Richard E. Lyng called Dr.
Houston's death a tragic loss to USDA and to the
nation.
Dr. Houston strongly supported FDLI. He will be sorely
missed. A frequent speaker at FDLI meetings and
seminars, Dr. Houston was also a regularly published
author of articles for our Food Drug Cosmetic Law
Journal and was a member of the FDLI Board of Trus-
tees.
