As promised, the powerful Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee has introduced H.R 3610, the Food and Drug Import Safety Act of 2007. The bill substantively resembles the draft circulated in August, but still needs a better title - we suggest: "The Poison-Free Food Act." Chairman Dingell is wasting no time, and has scheduled a hearing on the bill for next Wednesday.
