Executive Summary
DELANEY CLAUSE REFORM AMENDMENT PROPOSED BY SEN. KENNEDY would seek a more rigorous scientific standard than the "negligible or insignificant risk" standard proposed in the Dole-Johnston regulatory reform bill (S 343). In a speech on the Senate floor on July 19, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) threatened to introduce an amendment that would delete the Delaney Clause provision in S 343 and replace it "with a Sense of the Senate resolution."
