DSHEA
Repeal
Legislation Delayed, Not Dead - National Health Federation
via The One Click Group - "For the time being, on the Senate side of
Congress, the bill has apparently been delayed. However, unless and
until McCain formally pulls his bill, the DSSA bill is still alive in
the Senate for the rest of this year. The Hatch-McCain understanding
does not, under Senate procedures, preclude any other Senator like
Dorgan, or the anti-supplement, DSHEA-hating Dick Durbin (the Assistant
Senate Majority Leader), from filing a Motion to Discharge S.3002 from
the Senate HELP committee, where it currently is. If this happens the
bill can be sent directly to the full Senate for a passage vote."
