JUN. 24 3:07 P.M. ET Amid uproar from cattlemen, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns questioned why his department's inspector general ordered new tests for mad cow disease two weeks ago without his knowledge or approval.
"It caught me by surprise, to be very honest with you," Johanns told reporters Friday. "I believe the secretary should be involved in all decisions of this significance."
The department said it would announce results of the tests Friday afternoon.
