David Cay Johnston: “I will say in response that really the majority leader's amendment adds nothing to what is already in the bill except it…”

On the recordJuly 11, 1995
I will say in response that really the majority leader's amendment adds nothing to what is already in the bill except it says including E. coli. Health including E. coli. A health threat already included E. coli. It already includes cryptosporidium. It also includes the Ebola virus. It already includes everything that is encompassed in the world health. So it is totally unnecessary. But if it reassures somebody that now we are taking care of E. coli, so much the better.
