On the recordJuly 21, 1997
it is about time we start giving American consumers the same information granted in these other nations. Likewise, this legislation is not overly burdensome. The bill provides for a wide variety of labeling options, any number of which might be easily employed by American retailers to display information they already know. Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to consider this legislation seriously. It is time to close the gap of knowledge that currently exists relative to where imported produce is grown. American consumers have the right to know where their food came from and, given the opportunity, will use that information to protect and provide for their families.
