 CORRECTING ENGROSSMENT OF AMENDMENT OF THE HOUSE TO S. 725, PROVIDING 
    FOR STUDIES AND PROGRAMS WITH RESPECT TO TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I offer a resolution (H. Res. 534) to 
correct the engrossment of the amendment of the House of 
Representatives to the Senate bill (S. 725), and I ask unanimous 
consent for its immediate consideration.
  The Clerk read the title of the resolution.
  The text of House Resolution 534 is as follows:

                              H. Res. 534

       Resolved,

     SECTION 1. RETURN.

       The Senate is requested to return to the House of 
     Representatives the amendment of the House to the Senate bill 
     (S. 725).

     SEC. 2. CORRECTION.

       Upon the return of the House amendment to the Senate bill 
     (S. 725), the Clerk of the House of Representatives shall 
     make the following change in the engrossment of the House 
     amendment: Strike section 5 and insert the following:

     SEC. 5. STATE STANDARDS.

       (a) Preemption.--Section 403A(a) of the Federal Food, Drug, 
     and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 343-1(a)) is amended--
       (1) in paragraph (1), by inserting at the end the 
     following: ``except that this paragraph does not apply to a 
     standard of identity of--
       ``(A) a State or political subdivision of a State for maple 
     syrup which is of the type required by sections 401 and 
     403(g), or
       ``(B) a State for fluid milk which is of the type required 
     by sections 401 and 403(g) and which specifies a higher 
     minimum level of milk components than is provided for in the 
     corresponding standard of identity promulgated under section 
     401,'',
       (2) in paragraph (2), by inserting at the end the 
     following: ``except that this paragraph does not apply to a 
     requirement of a State or political subdivision of a State 
     which is of the type required by section 403(c) and which is 
     applicable to maple syrup,'',
       (3) in paragraph (3), by inserting at the end the 
     following: ``except that this paragraph does not apply to a 
     requirement of a State or political subdivision of a State 
     which is of the type required by section 403(h)(1) and which 
     is applicable to maple syrup,'', and
       (4) by adding at the end the following: ``For purposes of 
     paragraph (1)(B), the term `fluid milk' means liquid milk in 
     final packaged form for beverage use and does not include dry 
     milk, manufactured milk products, or tanker bulk milk.''.
       (b) Procedure.--Section 701(e)(1) of such Act (21 U.S.C. 
     371(e)(1)) is amended by striking ``or maple syrup (regulated 
     under section 168.140 of title 21, Code of Federal 
     Regulations)''.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I will not 
object, but I would like to request that the gentleman from California 
[Mr. Waxman] explain exactly what this unanimous-consent request 
includes.
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. MOORHEAD. I yield to the gentleman from California.
  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, this resolution corrects the engrossment of 
S. 725, a bill passed by the House. The correction replaces two 
paragraphs of the Senate-passed bill which were inadvertently omitted 
in the House-passed version. This will correct, I think, technically 
what we all tried to accomplish.
  Mr. MOORHEAD. Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my reservation of objection.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the 
gentleman from California?
  There was no objection. The resolution was agreed to.
  A motion to reconsider was laid on the table.
