Bob Casey said "The safety of our food supply is an issue we can no longer afford to ignore. My amendment would expand the deficit-neutral reserve fund to allow for legislation that enhances the protection and safety of the Nation's food supply. The funds of this legislation would allow for congressional action. It would do the following: First of all, expand Federal food inspection field forces; second, develop risk-based approaches to inspecting the food supply; third, develop the infrastructure to ensure a coordinated Federal food safety approach." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
