Executive Summary
CONGRESSIONAL OPPOSITION TO SENIOR-FRIENDLY CRP RULE was expressed in recent letters to the Consumer Product Safety Commission from Sens. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), Slade Gorton (R-WA) and Rep. Michael Oxley (R-OH). The letters question whether the commission's planned rule to revise the child-resistant packaging test protocol to make it more "senior friendly" is within the agency's statutory authority.
