Revamping Needed
d& June 25 the “Food Safety
Anjgndmets of 1981”, a com
prehensive bill rriodifying the laws
whjjdi regulate our food supply,
waft introduced hi the U. S. House
and; the Senate. The bills reflect
thesgrowing concern that our food
safijty laws are antiquated and in
to reform.
lse basic laws and concepts
whfoh regulate the safety of food
ard: over 20 years old. Im
provements in quantitative
analytical methods now allow the
defection of trace element' in parts
pefc billion rather than parts per
million. Scientists can detect the
pr&ence of compounds we never
kn&v were in a food product.
rfbwever, regulatory judgments
are! being made within a
legislative framework established
before development of this new
technology. This has led to in
ferences, sensationalism and
inaccuracies about the possible
Yisfe which may result from the
use: of foods, food additives and
food packages.
The inflexibility of the Delaney
Clause, an amendment to the
Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act; has caused consumers to
agonize through scares on cran
berries, saccharin, bacon, peanuts
an&beer. Dealing only in risk, the
Delaney Clause gives no con
sideration to potential benefit.
As a result, consumer con
fidence in the food system has
erqded despite the fact that the
U.§. has die most wholesome,
affordable food supply in the
wforld. We should be concerned
that the possibility for additional
scares and sensationalism will
increase as consumption of
processed food products in
creases.
Yhe ability to detect trace
elements in food has alsp caused
scientists to debate the
significance of allowing such
snjiall amounts of substances in
food products. More scientific
iifout is needed to insure that
government officials do not make
decisions, which, in the case of
nitrite, unnecessarily threaten to
remove a large amount of our food
supply. Consumers mdst be
allowed to continue to benefit from
a'fcafe, abundant food supply.
•The 97th Congress now has the
opportunity to improve the
eysting laws which regulate this
country’s food safety. The
ffoxibility necessary to use
scientific advances without
cheating unnecessary anxiety for
oekisumers has to be the heart of
federal scrutiny. The “Food
J§fety Amendments of 1981”
provide the vehicle.

Rep. James To Serve On Ag Board
It was announced today that
Rep. Vernon G. James of
Elizabeth City, will serve as one of
four southern legislators to chair a
regional study of rural agriculture
transportation needs in the South.
The study, which is being sponsor
ed by the Southern Legislative
Conference and the Midwestern
Conference of the Council of State
Governments is designed to in
ventory those transportation
alternatives and modes in each
region which must be maintained,
upgraded or served to provide a
productive economy.
Cautioned Rep. James, “in light
of rail, air and trucking
deregulation, and the increased
financial responsibility for the
states to repair and maintain
secondary road systems, the
traditional forces which have
guided rural transportation
patterns in the South are coming
under increasing pressure to
change.
Our study will identify those
transportation systems - roads,
bridges, rail and water - which are
most critical to the farmer in his
given locale for the continued cost
effective means of transporting
agricultural commodities.
Concluding emphasis will be
placed on how best the individual
states can serve the farm com
