| | Durbin attacks dietary supplement freedom - Again! | |
The Senate is considering the DOD Authorization bill -- National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 (S. 1042). In a move similar to what he pulled last year, Senator Durbin has offered an amendment (S.AMDT. 1379) to prohibit the sale of any supplements containing a stimulant to be sold on a military installation or in a commissary store, exchange store, or other store. More importantly, it would also establish Adverse Event Reporting by supplement manufacturers. The amendment is being held at the desk, and if a unanimous consent is not granted will be voted on, probably before Congress breaks (next week), if not before.
