Extract

My remarks today will be largely devoted to assessing some of the effects of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. As introduced, the act had wide support among grower groups, the food industry, and the pesticide industry. Voting on the bill was unanimous in both House and Senate, and action was completed in 1 wk. The legislation was signed by the President on August 3, 1996. President Clinton wanted to be seen as a strong advocate of children's health. The Republican Congress wanted to show that it was pro-environment.
