“I am pleased to say that I think we have an amendment that will be agreed to. It is very simple. It says: None of the provisions of this subchapter shall apply to agency rules or actions intended to protect children against poisoning; including a rule, and it specifies three: Iron toxicity poisoning. We had 28 children die of iron poisoning and those kinds of injuries in the last 3 years; Relating to lead poisoning from food products. That is, cans that come in from other countries that use lead soldering in the top of the cans; Third, promulgated under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act to protect children. I believe my colleagues, Senator Hatch and Senator Levin, find the amendment acceptable. I do not want to speak for them.”
