                                 FIFRA

  Mr. EXON. Mr. President, today I would like to add my name as a 
cosponsor to S. 1478, a bill to amend the Federal Insecticide, 
Fungicide and Rodenticide Act [FIFRA]. I join in this effort primarily 
because I believe we need to rethink the Delaney clause which very 
clearly needs reform. Though I may not find myself in total agreement 
with each and every provision of S. 1478, I believe it represents a 
starting point that ought to be considered.
  As the Congress pursues FIFRA reform, a number of alternative 
proposals will no doubt emerge. I understand there are legitimate 
differences of opinion in areas such as pesticide cancellation 
procedures, uniform tolerances, and children's risks. I look forward to 
reviewing all suggestions in these areas as the reform process moves 
forward.
