It does not yet have a Bill number as it has not been introduced yet. That makes THIS the perfect time to write your senators and representatives (as it will eventually go through the House if it passes the Senate) and tell them to NOT support it! Here is the FDA news article about it if you want more info: http://www.fdanews.com/dailies/drugdaily/3_55/news/67461-1.html It has been created by Senators Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), and co-sponsored by Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Pat Roberts (R-Kan.). It will first be introduced to the Senate health committee, so contacting any Senator that is from your state that is on that committee is crucial, as they have the first stroke of power to dismiss it as bad legislation. Here is that committee's info: *2007 US Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee* Committee Chair: Sen.Edward M. Kennedy (DEM-MA) Sen. Bernard Sanders (IND-VT) Sen.
