Executive Summary
DELANEY REVISION FOR FOOD, COLOR ADDITIVES IS "POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ISSUE" IN FDA REFORM legislation in the House, according to Rep. Jim Greenwood (R-Penn.), floor manager of the House package of three reform measures. Speaking at a June 20 National Health Council breakfast, Greenwood noted that the Delaney clause "is a very difficult thing to change in a political climate of any kind, because all it takes is one person to say, `Oh, they want to put cancer in the food.'"
